For an island state of its size, Singapore punches above its weight. It is jam-packed with attractions, making it popular for shopping, sightseeing, dining and fun experiences.
This melting pot of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western influences has the food, architecture and culture to show for it.
What’s more, there’s always something new to see as the Garden City keeps upping the ante each year – impressive for a former trading outpost founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819.
Top 5 Must Do’s
Marina Bay and Esplanade
Now the island state’s focal point, Marina Bay is home to the iconic Merlion and Marina Bay Sands, the awe-inspiring Art & Science Museum, the Waterfront Promenade, the Helix Bridge, the new Gardens by the Bay and the Esplanade Theatres – one of Singapore’s top performing arts centres.

Sentosa
There’s much to enjoy on Santosa, the island of fun — the parks and adventure attractions of Imbiah Lookout, the fort and Underwater World at Siloso Point, the three beaches along its shoreline, Universal Studios Singapore and FestiveWalk at Resorts World Sentosa!

Night Safari
Under the cover of darkness, over 1,000 nocturnal animals are wide awake at the world’s first wildlife Night Safari park.

The seven zones feature trails, shows and a tram for an exciting night within safe distance of the magnificent creatures.
Jurong Bird Park
Walk through simulated habitats, feed the birds, and watch bird shows in the region’s largest Jurong Bird Park, where thousands of birds representing 380 species call home.
