Spend your days exploring the beautiful Botanical Gardens, not forgetting a stop at the National Orchid Garden, a haven for the orchids to thrive. The gardens showcase the most spectacular tropical fauna in a stunning setting. Just down the road is Orchard Road, a shopping savant’s paradise, from major designer brands such as Gucci and Louis Vuitton to high street favourites and quaint independent shops, there is something for everyone (and some air conditioning for a well deserved break from the humidity…)

Enjoy a signature Singapore Sling at the renowned Long Bar at the Raffles Hotel. Hear the crunch as you walk through the bar? That’s because it is tradition to brush your peanut shells off the bar and onto the floor!

The city truly comes alive at sunset. Talk a walk along the Marina Bay and marvel at the one of a kind architecture of Marina Bay Sands. Why not stay a few nights and swim in the notorious infinity pool overlooking the city. Or book a table at The Lantern Bar at The Fullerton Bay Hotel for sundowners and enjoy the daily light show over the marina.

Behind the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel lies the Garden’s by the Bay. Home to space-age biodomes Flower Dome & Cloud Forest with over 217,000 plants and even an indoor waterfall, it is impossible to not be impressed. Every evening 18 steel clad ‘Supertrees’ light up to music for the Garden Rhapsody, watch from below or from one of the interlinking skyways for unbelievable city views.

The food scene here is seriously impressive. From Michelin star street food vendors to luxurious afternoon tea’s, Singapore is a foodie haven. Venture to Lau Pa Sat for world-class satay (head to satay street 7 & 8 for the best) as well as worldwide cuisine from Thai to Western to Dim Sum to donuts, there is something for everyone! Wash down with a cold jug of Tiger beer and marvel in the atmosphere.

Need to escape the city and fancy a hike? Head to the MacRitchie Reservoir for a 11km trail loop through the rainforest. Head to the suspension bridge for beautiful views atop of the rainforest, but watch out for the monkeys!
