I am not an expert when it comes to this beautiful small country but because of friends and relatives asking me for some of the whereabouts here in Singapore, I've decided to compile and make a list of places I've been or heard which you must check out. Places are grouped according to their location:
1. Orchard Road. A stretch of shopping malls. One can find designer stalls there and the basics like H&M, Forever21 etc.
2.1 Sentosa Island. USS and Sentosa are actually in one "island" but 1 day will never be enough for these two places. Here in Sentosa you can find more rides/attractions, there are museums too. You definitely need to check out Luge, Segue, and the iFly (a bit expensive though). There are also several beaches here. Check out sentosa.com.sg
2.2 Universal Studios Singapore: No description needed here lol
2.3 Vivo City: Mall where you can take the train going to Sentosa Island and Resorts World Sentosa for USS.
2.4 Mount Faber: I haven't been here yet but it's on my list when time permits. This place is know for hiking as it is a hill about 105 metres. You may take the cable car here.
3. Botanic Gardens: 74-hectare botanical garden. Definitely for those who have green thumb. There are two entry/exit points: Botanic Garden (Circle Line) and Orchard Road (Red Line).
4.1 Marina Bay Sands: One of the very famous landmark here in SG. It's a world-class luxury hotel with casino and high-end shopping mall. You can find Cut by Wolfgang Puck here.
4.2 Merlion Park: In the same area as the MBS (above mentioned), there is the Merlion Park. There are 5 Merlion statues. 2 are on that park, 1 is at Sentosa Island, 1 at orchard tourism board and another at Mount Faber.
4.3 Makansutra Gluttons Bay: It's an open-air food centre which offers different dishes in Singapore (and other Asian Cuisine). It's almost always packed so better be early but I guarantee you good choices of food here. Don't forget to try Chili Crab, Cereal Prawns, Satay.. Oh the list will go on.
4.4 Esplanade, Theatres on the Bay: It's a waterside building. A must visit at night for its good lighting.
4.5 Singapore Flyer: The famous giant ferris wheel to have a panoramic view of the central area of Singapore. I'd say night time would be the best to get a glimpse of the night lights.
5. Clarke Quay: Riverside kind of village where pubs, clubs and some restaurants are found. Check out their G-Max Reverse Bungy & GX-5 Extreme Swing!
5.5 Chinatown: Haven't heard any must see here and I have yet to explore this area.
6. Mustafa Centre: It's located at Little India. This place is a good bargain shopping place. It is never without bustling crowd of customers. Oh, and it's a-24 hour shopping centre. Just be careful here as it is really really crowded so mind your personal belongings.
The list will go on but I've given you the top places to visit here. Hit me up if there's a place you'd like to know more.
