What’s up guys! We’re here in 
Singapore, and in this video, we’re going to show you our top things 
to do here. So hope you enjoy it! Singapore is a tiny island nation in Southeast 
Asia. It’s a melting pot of cultures as well as a global hub for business and finance. Despite 
its small size, the country boasts world-class attractions and incredible diversity, with 
influences from Chinese, Malay, Indian, and European cultures. On top of that, Singapore 
is known for its cleanliness, safety, and efficiency, making it an easy and enjoyable travel 
destination. In this video, we highlight 15 of the best things to do in Singapore. At the end, we’ll 
also share a few travel tips. Now let’s dive in! We are Zac and Ine. We make helpful videos about destinations around the world so you 
can easily plan your own adventures. The Jewel Changi Airport will most likely be 
your first or last impression of Singapore. This unique transportation hub combines a vibrant 
marketplace with a beautiful indoor garden, all within the airport complex. Its highlight is 
the mesmerizing Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall which cascades through a lush 
forest setting. You can explore the five-story indoor garden, wander through the diverse 
array of shops, eat at tasty restaurants, walk on hanging sky nets, or simply relax and 
soak in the enchanting atmosphere. While entry to Jewel is free, some attractions cost 
money, such as the Canopy Park and Bridge. Jewel is connected to the airport but operates 
as a public mall accessible to everyone. Perched atop a hill in the city center, Fort 
Canning is one of Singapore’s most historic landmarks. It once served as a Royal Palace, 
a Colonial fort, and a residence for British governors. Today, the park offers a serene 
escape from the city’s hustle and bustle, with several historical sites to see. 
We especially like the Battlebox, an underground bunker built during 
World War II. When you walk inside, you’ll learn about its role in the war as well as 
the fall of Singapore after the Japanese invaded. At the time of our trip, it was free to enter but 
registration at the visitor center was required. The Southern Ridges are a series of interconnected 
parks spanning approximately 10 km or 6.2 miles. The trail connects Mount Faber to Kent 
Ridge Park and Labrador Nature Reserve, which allows you to trek through the 
jungle without leaving the city. It’s a relatively easy route with an elevation 
gain of 282 meters or 925 feet. One of the most impressive features on the hike is 
the Henderson Waves, a pedestrian bridge which is designed to look like a natural wave 
coming out of the treetops. Along the way, you can enjoy breathtaking views of the city 
skyline, lush greenery and nearby Sentosa Island. We hiked this as a loop starting and 
ending at the MRT Harbourfront Station. We also had to do a small detour since a section 
of the forest walk was close for repairs. There’s a lot of viewpoints along the 
hike, but the best one is Faber Point. So make sure to stop here because 
you have open views of the city. Named after the large Indian Community that 
has called this area home for generations, Little India is a vibrant and colorful 
area in Singapore. The sights, sounds, and smells will really make your senses 
come alive here. Serangoon Road is the heart of the district and is lined with 
shop houses selling fabrics, jewelry, and fragrant spices. But what we enjoyed most 
about this neighborhood was its delicious cuisine. Located in the heart of Singapore, the 
Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is home to the country’s highest hill and is one of 
its few remaining rainforests. In fact, the Reserve is rich with biodiversity, boasting 
a high percentage of the country’s plant and animal life. The best way to explore the 
park is on foot with a network of hikes to choose from. We did a short loop trail to 
the summit and spotted a variety of animals, such as a rare flying lemur and a 
group of playful macaque monkeys. Dining at a local Hawker Market is an experience 
you can’t miss when visiting Singapore. Hawker markets are open a food centers where you can find 
a wide variety of affordable and delicious local dishes. You can find these markets all over the 
city. We embarked on a guided food tour, visiting different stalls in three separate Hawker Centers 
around Chinatown. This allowed us to sample a wide range of dishes, from the iconic laksa to wonton 
noodles, chicken rice, and crispy curry puffs. We had no idea that Singapore has such 
a diverse and unique cuisine. Yeah, and if we didn’t do this guided food 
experience, we wouldn’t have tried all of these different tasty local dishes, which 
brings us to the sponsor of today’s video. GetYourGuide is the leading online travel 
experience platform. They have more than 110,000 curated things to do in 150 countries. In 
Singapore alone, there are over 250 experiences to choose from, including major attractions as 
well as off-the-beaten path gems. All of these are rated and viewed by verified travelers, 
just like us. You can easily find activities that match your interests and then book with 
confidence. Their user-friendly App keeps all your tickets and experiences organized in 
one convenient place. One thing we enjoyed in particular about our food tour was learning more 
about the culture and history of Singapore. This is because our local guide grew up here and 
has seen the country change tremendously over the last decades. We also gained a lot of new 
insights during our bike tour and river cruise, which we’ll talk about later in this video. With 
24/7 customer support and a flexible cancellation policy, GetYourGuide gives you the peace of mind 
to book confidently. The ability to modify plans up to 24 hours in advance ensures your itinerary 
can adapt to changing weather or preferences as well. Based on our experiences, we highly 
recommend GetYourGuide for your next adventure. Kampong Glam is Singapore’s historic 
Malay and Muslim quarter. You can find the majestic Sultan mosque here, a 
stunning architectural landmark with a golden dome. But nearby Arab Street and 
Haji Lane are also areas you can’t miss, boasting tons of unique boutiques, trendy 
cafes, and vibrant street art. Immerse yourself in the rich culture of this district 
by savoring local delicacies, such as murtabak. The Marina Bay Waterfront features some of 
the most popular landmarks in Singapore, which are all within walking distance of 
each other. Start with the Merlion statue, a mythical creature with the head of 
a lion and the body of a fish. Then, continue towards the Esplanade, a performing arts 
center that resembles a giant durian fruit. Next, walk across the interesting Helix Bridge towards 
the lotus-shaped Art Science Museum. Finally, you can admire the breathtaking views of the 
Marina Bay Sands, the most famous hotel complex in Singapore. As the evening descends, make 
sure to check out the Spectra light and sound show. This show is held nightly at 8 and 
9 p.m. in front of the Marina Bay Sands. Marina Bay Sands is an architectural highlight 
of the city, with its distinctive ship-like silhouette dominating the Singapore skyline. 
This iconic complex houses a luxury hotel, a casino, and a world-class shopping mall. 
Even if you’re not planning on shopping, it’s still worth walking through the elegant 
space filled with high-end boutiques, restaurants, and an indoor canal. You can also head to 
the SkyPark Observation Deck for a casual sightseeing experience. But what we enjoyed most 
was a visit to the rooftop bar called Cé La Vi, which offered sweeping views of the city 
and beyond. General entry was 35 Singaporean dollars when we were there, which was 
fully redeemable for food and drinks. The Singapore Botanic Gardens is a UNESCO 
World Heritage Site located at the edge of the Orchard Road shopping district. This green 
oasis offers a diverse array of plant life, divided into several distinct-themed gardens. 
These include areas like the Rainforest, the Ginger Garden, and the Healing Garden. All 
of these zones are connected by well-maintained walking paths. There are also a few lakes 
which are teeming with wildlife. While general entrance is free of charge, the National 
Orchid Garden section does charge a fee. Once a bustling trading hub, the Singapore River 
now boasts vibrant waterfront districts. Clarke Quay is home to a lively promenade lined 
with colorful shophouses, clubs, bars, and restaurants. Robertson Quay, on the 
other hand, has a more refined atmosphere with a focus on fine dining and cozy cafes. 
And finally, Boat Key is closest to the river mouth. This area has a more relaxed vibe with 
many waterfront pubs. The Quays are all within walking distance from each other, offering a 
pleasant and scenic stroll along the riverfront. But for a unique perspective, embark on 
a river cruise in a traditional bumboat, a nostalgic journey that traces the river’s 
history and offers amazing views of the city skyline. The 45-minute boat ride takes you 
all the way to Marina Bay. If you want to book the same river cruise that we did, check out 
the link in the description below the video. Chinatown is another historic district 
in Singapore, dating back to the 19th century. It was once home to Chinese 
immigrants seeking a better life. Today, it’s a cultural hub that’s brimming with 
energy. One of the best things to do is exploring the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, a 
magnificent Buddhist shrine. Sri Mariamman Temple is also worth a visit and this is 
Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple. The oldest Buddhist temple in the country can also be found 
in the area. But one of the greatest things about Chinatown is simply getting lost in its maze of 
streets and breathing in the vibrant atmosphere. Singapore’s skyline provides the perfect 
backdrop for a rooftop bar experience. The city has a wealth of rooftop options, 
each offering panoramic views and a distinct ambiance. We chose to visit NOVA, 
which is perched atop One Raffles Place, Singapore’s tallest building. 
The views were simply stunning, encompassing the vibrant Marina Bay, the historic 
Civic Center, and stretching beyond the horizon towards Malaysia and Indonesia. Despite not having 
a reservation, we found the weekday evening to be a less busy time, allowing us to fully savor the 
breathtaking vistas and the delicious cocktails. Singapore is a remarkably bike-friendly city with 
dedicated lanes, promenades, and waterfront paths, making it easy to explore the city center. We 
joined a 4-hour bike tour that proved to be an excellent way to experience the city’s highlights, 
especially if you’re short on time. The tour took us along the waterfront to the beautiful Civic 
Center, also known as the Colonial District. We then continue to the Singapore River, 
Merlion Park, and Lau Pa Sat. Finally, we biked through the diverse areas, like Chinatown, 
Little India, and Kampong Glam. Our guide made lots of stops and provided valuable insights 
into Singapore’s rich history and culture. Gardens by the Bay was our favorite attraction in 
Singapore. This park features themed gardens and conservatories. The most impressive conservatories 
are the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, which are both recommended to be booked in advance. We 
started with the Flower Dome, which showcases a beautiful array of plants from around the world as 
well as seasonal floral displays. Just across from the Flower Dome, you can find the Cloud Forest, 
which is home to a towering indoor waterfall and lush vegetation. This conservatory creates a cool 
and moist environment, reminiscent of tropical highlands. You should definitely try out the 
Cloud Walk. This aerial walkway is an adventure in itself and offers outstanding views. But 
the Gardens by the Bay is most famous for its Supertrees, which are innovative vertical 
gardens that collect rainwater and generate solar power. It’s free to walk around the bottom 
and watch the daily light and sound show. But if you want to see the Supertrees up close, you 
can buy a separate ticket to the Supertree Observatory or OCBC Skyway. We couldn’t pass 
up the opportunity to walk on the Skyway, which is a pedestrian bridge connected 
high up in the Supertrees themselves. As we promised at the beginning 
of the video, we’ll now share a few travel tips for Singapore. In terms of 
where to stay, choosing accommodation near an MRT Station provides easy access to 
major attractions, shopping districts, and dining options. Bayfront and Orchard 
Road are both popular choices, offering a mix of luxury hotels and boutique stays. Both of 
these areas are located next to well-connected MRT stations. For more budget-friendly hotels and 
hostels, take a look at Chinatown, Little India, or Kampong Glam. You can find a link to the place 
we stayed in the description below this video. We also included links to a few 
other accommodation options, depending on your budget and style. 
Singapore has an efficient and affordable public transportation system. Invest in 
an EZ-link card for seamless travel on the MRT and buses. EZ-link cards are available 
at various locations throughout the city, including MRT stations, convenience stores, 
and vending machines. When we visited, we had to top-up our cards with cash at the MRT 
Station machines whenever we ran out of funds. Singapore’s tropical climate is hot and humid 
year-round so pack breathable clothing as well as comfortable shoes. Don’t forget to bring 
an umbrella or raincoat as rain showers are frequent occurrences in this country. Wet 
season is usually from November to January, with the most rainfall. The dry season 
is from February to August but it still experiences some rainfall. If you have 
more time in Singapore or looking for other things to do, we also put a list of 
more options on the screen here for you. And if you’re planning your trip to Singapore, we recommend keeping things organized with our 
interactive travel planner. Find a discount code in the description below the video. We 
also included other important links in the description that will help with your experience 
in the country, such as an interactive map so you can get to each place we mentioned. 
We’ll catch you on the next adventure!
