Singapore 🇸🇬
For the Sightseers
Despite its small size, Singapore holds an array of sights to behold. If you feel like being a tourist in our own country for a day, these activities are perfect for you.
1. Gardens by the Bay + Supertree Grove
With lush outdoor gardens surrounding enclosed conservatories filled with all kinds of vibrant flora and environments, a trip to Gardens by the Bay is the perfect addition to your day out - from the huge indoor waterfall in the Cloud Forest to the seasonally-changing flower showcases in the Flower Dome.

The Supertree Grove is best visited at night when the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show goes on. You can head up to the OCBC Skyway to stroll amongst the trees and enjoy the views from the top.
2. Sentosa Sensoryscape
If you're looking for a quick escape from the bustling cityscapes, there is a new Singapore attraction at Sentosa to check out! Step into Sensoryscape, where a sensory journey from Sentosa's lush ridges to its vibrant reefs unfolds.
Get ready for a journey into the senses - where each scent, sound, touch, and light display marks the start of a new adventure! Come dusk, your sixth sense – imagination – takes flight!
There are currently 6 themed features in this brand-new attraction to explore - Lookout Loop, Tactile Trellis, Scented Sphere, Symphony Streams, Palate Playground, and Glow Garden. If your evenings are free, we recommend coming at dusk so you can bask in and enjoy the pretty lights!
- Lookout Loop: Step into Lookout Loop, the visual epicentre of Sensoryscape. Beyond the lush canopy, discover vistas of panoramic splendour in the north and glimpses of the serene sea in the south.
- Tactile Trellis: Tactile Trellis celebrates the joy of touch. Engage with a variety of textures that nature has to offer: from the softest caress to the most intriguing prickle.
- Scented Sphere: Venture into Scented Sphere, where natural fragrances form a year-round scent palette that reflects the island's rich natural heritage. Immerse your senses in an aromatic landscape of Sentosa's diverse and therapeutic flora.
- Symphony Streams: Welcome to Symphony Streams, where the trickling waters set the tone for serenity. In this tranquil oasis, the rhythmic flow of water harmonizes with Sentosa's coastal breeze, offering a soothing backdrop to your sensory journey.
- Palate Playground: Step into Palate Playground, where a rich tapestry of edible plants, aromatic herbs, and exotic spices awaits to deepen your appreciation of Sentosa's authentic local flavours.
- Glow Garden: Enter Glow Garden, where the grandeur of giant flower stalks captivates the imagination. Inspired by nature, these structures serve as a prelude to the evening's spectacle.
3. See the Merlion
This iconic Singapore tourist spot is a cannot-miss landmark when you're in the Lion City. You can find it in the Merlion statue at Merlion Park at One Fullerton, near the Central Business District.
4. Marina Bay Sands Skypark
For great views of the Marina Bay and Central Business District, head up to the Marina Bay Sands Skypark! We recommend heading over at golden hour to catch the best of both worlds- the sunset and the night skyline when it gets dark.
5. SkyHelix Sentosa
For unparallelled 360° views of Sentosa and the Greater Southern Waterfront, hop on the SkyHelix Sentosa.
This spiralling open-air gondola ascends skywards 79 meters above sea level - and you’ll get to enjoy this breathtaking view with a complimentary drink in hand.
6. Singapore Flyer
Take in the breathtaking views of Singapore from the apex of the Singapore Flyer - Asia’s largest observation wheel - as you ascend into the skies.
With the latest Time Capsule experience, you’ll experience a multisensory journey of the Singapore story from 700 years ago to the present, and on to a glimpse of the future.
Fun fact: Did you know that at 165m, the height of the Singapore flyer is equivalent to 31 stacked male giraffes?
7. Marina Barrage

Marina Barrage is one of the best places to have a picnic with your family and friends! The huge grass patch on the rooftop is good for kite-flying and you can even bring your furry friend along. Pack a picnic basket and catch the sunset with the beautiful Singapore skyline in the background.
8. Singapore Cable Car + Cable Car Dining
One of the best ways to take in the views of the Southern precinct of Singapore is on the Singapore Cable car! Enjoy 360-degree views of Sentosa and one of Singapore's oldest hilltops, Mount Faber. Time your ride for the sunset and you'll have a beautiful backdrop to those photos.
For a spectacular aerial dinner experience, opt for the 4-course Cable Car Sky Dining and feast under the stars.
9. The Original DUCKtours
The award-winning Ducktours experience is an hour-long adventure on an amphibious vehicle that takes you along the Civic District before you splash into the waters for a harbour tour, sailing past sights like the Merlion and Marina Bay Sands.
10. Explore Haji Lane
If you’re looking for a way to spend a chill afternoon out exploring, the long, narrow Haji Lane in Bugis is lined with fusion restaurants, eclectic shops, and unusual concept boutiques. It’s impossible to walk along this Singapore tourist spot and not notice the incredible artwork plastered along the building walls. Not only do these add vibrancy to the area, it definitely makes for a great photo wall!
