Best Things to do in Singapore for a first time Visit
Travelling to Singapore is like leaving planet Earth and landing on a magical planet full of lights, happiness and simply out of this world experiences! I loved every moment of my trip to Singapore and here are the best things to do in Singapore for a first time visit:
Visit Merlion Park - A leisurely stroll along the river, admiring the Merlion statue which symbolises Singapore’s origins. More here
Eat at Makansutra Gluttons Bay - Where the locals eat! Be brave and order a bunch of different things! Check it out here
Visit Pulau Ubin - A small island easily reachable by ferry. It’s less explored and a real hidden gem in Singapore. More here
Have Drinks at Haji Lane - A vibrant area in the city centre full of locals and tourists alike. I recommend Piedra Negra for drinks
Eat at a Hawker Centre - Newton food centre is where we ate and I highly recommend it! Hawker centres are essentially open air complexes where fresh local food is cooked and served all day. More here
Ride the Cable Car & Visit Sentosa Island - Sentosa island is essential a big amusement park island with rides, beaches, hotels, resorts and more! Get there by Cable Car for views!
Visit Gardens by the Bay - My personal highlight of the trip! By day it is a mystical, tropical rain forest where you can see the famous Super Tree Grove, a cloud forest and more! And by night it turns into an Avatar like kingdom! Do not miss the daily free light show!
Drink a Singapore Sling at Marina Bay Sands - The most famous cocktail in the country with the best view in the world - any questions? Book ahead though.
Eat the world’s cheapest Michelin Star meal - You’ll find it at Hawker Chan
Do a HBD tour - Learn everything about social housing in Singapore!
