The Lion City’s Must-Sees: Singapore Attractions to Include in Your Itinerary
Singapore is coming to life. The city-state has bloomed into a playground for the rich, a haven for foodies and a sanctuary for those looking to enjoy the good things in life. Singapore has it all—from iconic structures to Michelin-starred food—and we got you covered with the top attractions the Lion City has to offer.
Wander through the modern oasis that is the Gardens by the Bay.
Singapore’s most famous garden and one of its top attractions was the location for the fabulous wedding in the movie Crazy Rich Asians, and it’s easy to know why. It’s unique, awe-inspiring and luxurious.
This green space alone boasts of several attractions. The Supertree Grove where the scene was shot features 18 vertical gardens, the Cloud Forest Dome has the world’s tallest indoor waterfall and the Bay East Garden will easily make you forget that you’re in the middle of the city because of its lush plant life.
Marvel at the wildlife of Singapore Zoo.
Singapore Zoo prides itself in having an open captivity model where animals are kept in large enclosures so they still feel like they’re in their natural habitat. The zoo is home to more than 300 animal species including white tigers, komodo dragons, chimpanzees, zebras and mole rats. You can also visit the Jurong Bird Park, Night Safari and River Safari if you want to enjoy more of Singapore’s wildlife.
Get some adrenaline rush at Universal Studios Singapore.
Occupying more than 49 acres of Resorts World Sentosa, you will need to spend a day (or more) to enjoy every bit of Universal Studios Singapore. The amusement park is divided into seven themed zones that pay tribute to a film, TV show or location, so you’re sure to have something fun for every member of the family. Don’t forget to ride the twin Battlestar Galactica-themed roller coasters in Sci-Fi City.
Go back in time at Pulau Ubin.
While most tourists would only go to Singapore’s top attractions that they see in travel magazines, visiting Pulau Ubin is one of the best ways to really learn about the true essence of the city. This small island has been kept unspoiled for years and will let you experience the simple life that people living in Singapore had before it became the city that it is today. Pulau Ubin is only a ten-minute ferry ride from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal, so it’s definitely worth a visit.
Have a taste of the good life at Marina Bay Sands.
Perhaps no structure is more iconic in Singapore like Marina Bay Sands. It is majestic, luxurious and one-of-a-kind, which make it a playground for the rich and famous. But you don’t have to spend a lot to experience Marina Bay Sands because the luxury hotel allows tourists to visit its observation deck. But if you are willing to splurge, then booking a room at Marina Bay Sands means enjoying its world-class facilities including its famous infinity pool.
