7 Things to do in Singapore on a Long Weekend

iIf you haven’t been to Singapore as yet; just take few trips and you will fall in love with this gorgeous city. Whether you’re here for a short stop-over or an extended weekly vacation, there are plenty of things to do in Singapore. 

So,  when you’re planning a trip to Singapore, and don’t know what to expect, Klook helps you discover one of the most unique places in the most convenient and smartest way!

The first thing on the to-do list and probably one of the most popular one is the Singapore River Cruise.  Head down to the Marina and jump into the traditional bum boats where these iconic bumboats are great to traverse the Singapore river. The 40 minute boat ride gives you a great overview of the city and you can also get a glimpse of some top sights in Singapore including the world renowned Merlion (Singapore Lion Statue), Raffles Statue, Boat Quay, Helix Bridge, and Marina Bay Sands.

Singapore is a melting pot for different culture and religions, so visit to one of the many temples is a mandatory on your itinerary. The best way to discover one is to walk around the streets of Singapore. Klook highly recommends to visit the Little India or Chinatown for the best experience.

If you visit Chinatown, you will realise that the whole town should be renamed as a Souvenir town. With hundreds of stalls and shops, you will surely find a memorable souvenir to take back home.

It is impossible to visit Singapore and not find the best deal while shopping. Take a walk along the orchard road (Singapore’s main shopping district) and find your favorites ranging from top-notch luxury retail stores to world-class international cuisines.

Even though this district is filled with people and the temperature is hot, for some miraculous reason you will sense a sweet fragrance of roses everywhere to make your shopping spree easy. Also, it doesn’t matter whether you’re visiting this busy place at dawn or dusk, Orchard Road is home to a range of world-class gourmet experiences for the die hard foodies.

One of the key things to do in Singapore is to visit Garden’s by the Bay! An iconic Singapore destination, Gardens by the Bay is undoubtedly at the top of every visitor’s itinerary to the city.

The entire complex houses one of the biggest greenhouses in the world and also has one of the biggest indoor waterfalls in the world. Spanning over 101 hectors of reclaimed in central Singapore – adjacent to the marina reservoir.

The park consist of 2 huge greenhouses and 3-4 waterfront gardens (Bay South, Bay East, and Bay Central) and conservatories (Flower Dome and Cloud Forest) as well as the newly opened Sun Pavilion, feature some of the most incredible man-made structures built to house flora and fauna from all over the world.
