Wonder Full - Light and Water Show at Marina Bay
With the stunning cityscape all around, Marina Bay in itself is an absolute must-visit when you come to Singapore, but don't miss the light and water show at night! Taking place every night, it's a 15 minute show with fountains, music, and colorful laser lights.

Orchard Road
This is a loooong road flanked by giant shopping malls on each side. Orchard Road has it all- dining, entertainment and shopping. Walking down this road is a lot of fun as you pass stunning mall sculptures and attractions. My favorite malls were ION Orchard, 313@Somerset and Paragon.

Chinatown
One of the oldest towns in Singapore, Chinatown has a lot of historical and interesting sights. I loved the colorful buildings and Chinese architecture, and the mix of the bustling marketplace with high-rises in the distance. You can explore the Chinese stalls offering souvenirs, have deliciously authentic Singaporean and Chinese cuisine for cheap at any of the many restaurants and cafes, and visit old mosques and temples. Don't miss the beautiful Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Sri Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple of Singapore.

Resorts World Sentosa
Resorts World Sentosa is an entertainment hub within Sentosa Island which offers everything you'd look for while on holiday. It houses Universal Studios, Aquariums, beaches, fun museums, casinos, shows, dances and events. Since there are waaaayy too many things to do and see, I'll tell you all about Sentosa in another post!


Singapore Flyer
I think this is my favorite tourist attraction of Singapore- the Singapore Flyer. The Singapore Flyer is a giant ferris wheel, the largest one in Asia in fact. It has pods which take you high up for 360 views of Singapore. I love how the different areas of Singapore are marked inside the pod, with information bites, so you know which town/city you're looking at when you're at the highest point.





Gardens by the Bay
The Gardens by the Bay are huge sprawling gardens in the heart of Singapore. Within the Gardens are many attractions like the Supertree Grove, Cloud Forest, Flower Dome, Sun Pavillion and lakes. I visited the Supertree Grove, which are a group of insanely tall man-made trees that have plants climbing all over. They light up at night with a light and sound show. You can go up on the OCBC Skyway if you want to walk from tree-to-tree, while looking down at the gardens and Marina Bay. Cloud Forest and Flower Dome are large greenhouses which house plants and trees from all over the world. Cloud Forest replicates mountains and hills and houses rare plants that grow in mountainous and hilly regions. Flower Dome has stunning flowers from all over the world. Tip: Carry a jacket when you visit as Cloud Forest and Flower Dome are very cold!


Clarke Quay is a quay along the Singapore River. It's a large area with lots and lots of restaurants, bars and cafes, shopping malls and rides. I loved the liveliness and colors of Clarke Quay, and the festive atmosphere. It pulses with music coming from live singers inside the bars, and has some very pretty architecture. The views of the river from the quay are stunning.




ArtScience Museum
The ArtScience Museum is a museum within the Marina Bay area. It's a small museum, but absolutely incredible. It has exhibits of art, science, design, architecture and technology. Most of the exhibits are interactive, and bring together the latest, state-of-the-art technology to dazzle you. It's a great place for families as children can have fun and learn at the same time.





Where To Eat

As a traveller I'm always looking for places that are open late as I tend to explore into the night and forget about dinner, and most restaurants and malls close by ten. These two places are open late, and serve great food.

Lau Pa Sat
Lau Pa Sat in Telok Ayer is a huge food court that serves up authentic local food inside a Victorian-style building. It's situated within the financial district and is surrounded by modern high-rises and hotels. It feels great to be sitting in a historical place surrounded by modernism, enjoying local food and culture. One of my favorite places was Satay, where they grill fresh beef, chicken and prawn satays in front of you and serve them with peanut sauce. You can also order side dishes of rice and noodles from other stalls to accompany the satay.



Clarke Quay
Clarke Quay is another area that has many restaurants and bars that are open until 2 am, which serve great food. Choose a restaurant that's along the water for a serene and relaxing dining experience. It's also lovely for a peaceful walk after dinner, along the river.


Most places are easily accessible by MRT {metros} and taxis. In addition to the sights and sounds above, there are many, many more to be seen. If I had the time, I would have definitely explored more of this beautiful island.
