What must-see attractions are there in Singapore?
Cloud forest is just a heartbreaker.
And overall, it's really cool everywhere. It's easy to get around by subway.
Hotels are expensive, that's true. But are you going to just sit in the hotel? Clearly not. Choose something more budget-friendly. And you won't suffer later for spending a fortune on the hotel; the food in the food courts is good. Restaurants are not a mandatory part of the itinerary at all.
I am also planning my first trip to Singapore with my son. Recently, the guy shared such an interesting itinerary for the day:
When choosing between the gardens or Wings of Time, definitely go with the gardens.
There is an enchanting atmosphere there.
Better to do it this way. Start right in the morning
- Chinatown (start with Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
- then to Sri Mariamman
- 3, 4. dive into the very heart of the district
- 5. Have a snack at Clan Hotel or 6 Lau Pa Sat
- 6 move through the skyscraper district to
- 7 Fullerton Hall and Marlion and the waterfront with a view of Marina Sands hotel
(my wife and I started the day at around 8-9 AM and finished here around 1-2 PM)
The heat will start to kill you, so move either on foot or by taxi to
- 8 Marina Sands and head to the gardens
- 9 visit the cool but paid pavilions Flower Dome and Cloud Forest.
- 10 closer to 4 PM you can stroll through the gardens without dying (for about one to two hours)
- 11 walk along the Sky Walk at a height between the super trees with super views
- 12 then return to Marina Sands Shopping Mall and have dinner in the food court
- 13 by 7 PM (I forgot the schedule) go to watch the show in the gardens right under the super trees.
Oh, thank you so much!
@Nadya: I've Googled all the places, I like them! I also want to take the route through the parks, I copied it from here as well: The route through the parks Southern Ridges starts from Vivo City (there's a bus stop and train station).
@Oksana: Just yesterday someone wrote that the trails at the tree canopy level in Southern Ridges are closed. But the trails are open, the Henderson Waves bridge is operational.
The most beautiful thing is the center - Gardens by the Bay, there are also flower conservatories, and the waterfront across where the Merlion is. Everything is nearby, you can stroll around all day long.
Thank you
@Nadya: Get up early on the second day so you can go out at around 7 o'clock. You'll at least have time to take a walk before it gets hot.
@Vasily: What time does the hottest part of the day start?
@Il'ya: 10-11 AM
@Il'ya: For me at 11 ;)
@Nadya: Are you going to lie in this pool?) That's the question. We left the hotel at 8 AM and came back at 10 PM. All we had the energy for was to wash up and go to bed.
@Katerina: I want to plan lying down in advance as part of the program for some really atmospheric photos.
@Nadya: Since time is tight, I'm thinking I need to plan everything in detail in advance.
I also thought about the hotel, but I decided to leave this part so to speak to soak in the atmosphere, there is a panoramic pool with an evening view, but I’m quite ready to save on taxis and restaurants. The main thing is to understand the places that are a must-visit. We’ll get from the airport, check in - it will be around 17:00, we’ll walk until 21-22:00 (if the pool with a view is limited, then earlier), we check out at 12:00, at 13:00 we have a bus tour, return at 17:00, depart for the airport by metro at 18:00, flight at 23:00 (there will still be time to explore the airport). That's the plan. Cloud Forest is a garden where there are trees?
