Sightseeing destinations in Singapore
Singapore offers a great deal of interesting places that offer fantastic sightseeing opportunities for any traveler. Near its northern peak, where Kuala Lumpur is less than 4 hours to travel by car, you will find most of the city’s action, where you can see gleaming working docks, office towers and futuristic trees that are solar-powered to serve as vertical gardens.
Offshore, you will find Sentosa and over 60 (mostly uninhabited) smaller islands that serve as bases for playgrounds and beach escapes from the city.
If you are more into the place’s history, you can go to the Central Business District, where you can find the 19th-century Raffles Hotel, Marina Square and Ft. Canning. Although most of the old city has been modernized, most colonial landmarks are still in the district.
