Singapore is one of my favourite countries in the world and is a must-visit once in your life. The country is a vibrant blend of cultures, futuristic architecture, and stunning natural landscapes. From indulging in some of the tastiest food at hawker centres to marvelling at iconic landmarks, here are the top five spots you shouldn't miss on your visit to this dynamic city-state:
1. Hawker Centers: A Gastronomic Delight
No trip to Singapore is complete without experiencing its renowned hawker centers. These bustling food hubs offer an array of local dishes all for a fraction of the price of eating in a restaurant in the city. One of the best spots to indulge is at the Chinatown Hawker Centre- my personal fave and where you will visit on my Singapore City Unscripted experience.
2. Gardens by the Bay Light Show: A Spectacular Evening
As the sun sets, head to Gardens by the Bay for a mesmerizing light and sound show. Watch as the Supertrees come to life with a dazzling display of colors and music during the Garden Rhapsody show. It's a magical experience that still leaves my jaw dropping to this day!
3. Sky CapitaSpring: Urban Oasis in the Sky
Escape the hustle and bustle of the city at Sky CapitaSpring, Singapore's newest urban oasis. Located atop the iconic CapitaSpring building this spot offers panoramic views of the skyline along with lush greenery and tranquil spaces. It’s also free to enter unlike the Marina Bay Sands viewpoint so if you’re on a budget this is a great choice.
4. Nassim Road: Serene Beauty and Luxury
Take a stroll along Nassim Road and discover the epitome of luxury and elegance in Singapore. Lined with colonial-era mansions and lush greenery, this tree-lined boulevard is like entering another planet! If you’re feeling nosey, have a look at some of the city’s most expensive houses and feel like you’re in the Crazy Rich Asians Movie.
5. Marina Bay Sands at Night: Water Shows + Iconic Views
End your day with a visit to Marina Bay Sands and witness the city come alive against the backdrop of the glittering bay. Here you can also experience the stunning spectra water show at both 8 pm and 9 pm every single night. A magical experience to say the least.
