Whether you're a culture and history buff, nature lover or adventure seeker, Singapore has a wide selection of leisure options and fun tourist attractions for a memorable holiday with family and friends. All of the best things to see and do in Singapore are within easy reach. Singapore is a curious tale of a once sleepy fishing village that defied all odds to transform itself into the first-world metropolis it is today. The city of contrasts may be the most expensive city in the world, but it is also home to plenty of exciting sights to see, eclectic and unique budget shops, incredible street food, beaches and dozens of free parks. Choosing the best places to visit in the Garden City of Singapore is no easy feat as the city has a vast number of impressive sights to see, exciting activities and day trips for all the family. Be sure to take the Singapore Cable Car to Sentosa Island aka “island of fun”, where you behold the 121-foot-tall Sentosa Merlion statue (the city’s national symbol), and enjoy the nature excursions, adventure parks, water parks, the S.E.A. Aquarium, and beach activities. This manmade recreational hub offers tourists many different activities, including a treetop trail, Universal Studios, zip-line, luge and bungee jump. For breath-taking views of the iconic Singapore skyline, head to the nearby Marina Bay Sands SkyPark and Singapore Flyer. At night-time, sip on a Singapore Sling at the lavish Raffles Hotel, or make your way over to Clarke Quay along Singapore River dressed to the nines! Take a stroll along Clarke Quay at night – this historical riverside quay has an electric party atmosphere. Dotted all around with some of the city’s most picturesque restaurants, bars, and fun entertainment venues where you can practice your karaoke, Clarke Quay is unmissable when in Singapore. Here is a curated list of the popular places you can visit in Singapore - all in a day.
