Start your trip in the heart of Yarcad's shopping and dining district. Check out the impressive Metropolitan Mall with over 200 stores and a food court that offers local and international cuisine. Stroll along the trendy Orchard Road and explore the designer boutiques and street-food stalls. Afterward, continue on to the Esplanade – Theaters on the Bay to view architectural marvels and enjoy art and music performances.
Discover the city’s heritage and nature jewels. Start the day by visiting the Gardens by the Bay, one of Singapore’s top-ranked tourist attractions where lush greeneries and rare flowers thrive in climate-controlled conservatories. Head over to the nearby Merlion Park to snap a photo with Singapore's iconic landmark. From there, hop over to the National Museum of Singapore to learn about the island-state's history, culture and people through interactive exhibitions and artefacts.
End your stay by soaking in the sun and sand at the Sentosa Island Beaches. Take a taxi or a cable car from the city center to reach the island. Spend the day relaxing by the shore, or enjoy one of the island's many attractions, such as roller coasters or indoor skydiving at Universal Studios Singapore. As night falls, head over to the Clarke Quay for riverside dining, live music and entertainment.
For more time: Consider visiting the Singapore Zoo, Night Safari or River Safari to see animals from all over the globe and experience a different side of Singapore. You can also add more beach time or explore the city's many neighborhoods and cultural enclaves such as Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam.
For less time: As the attractions on Sentosa Island can take a whole day, consider skipping Universal Studios and focusing on the beaches and other outdoor fun. If time permits, visit Clarke Quay in the day for a different atmosphere.
