The Top Things To Do In Singapore
There are so many amazing things to do in Singapore. It’s a city filled with details that make it very aesthetically pleasing. There are so many things the city does to "show itself off" and entertain its visitors (light shows, street art, buildings, to name a few). Singapore is also so clean and beautiful. You could quite literally lay down and/or eat off the ground.

Top Things To Do In Singapore
Gardens By The Bay
Gardens by the Bay are 250 acres of living gardens, with a very futuristic and innovative feel. They really showcase Singapore's commitment to sustainability and greening. The Cloud Forest and Flower Dome exhibits are some of the most popular. Both conservatories display a diverse range of flora from around the world, including rare and exotic plants. Cloud Forest is a modern greenhouse complete with a massive waterfall.
Stay At The Marina Bay Sands/Swim In Rooftop Infinity Pool
The Marina Bay Sands Hotel is probably one of the most photographed hotels in the world. This hotel is also famous for the amazing rooftop/infinity pool, which, let's be honest, was the main reason for picking this as a place to stay. You can only access this pool if you're a guest of the hotel. (Note: if you're a guest, make sure everyone in your party has a room key. Otherwise, they will not let you in the pool section.) This hotel is definitely more of a splurge, but worth it if you’re looking for pictures in the infinity pool.
Eat At The Hawker Centres
Another one of the top things to do in Singapore is to eat at a Hawker Centre. Hawker Centers are essentially the equivalent of food courts - a big open-air space with multiple different food shops. They are a big part of Singapore's food culture. There are 100+ Hawker Centres in Singapore! Anthony Bourdain had raving reviews about a number of stands, specifically at the Maxwell Hawker Centre.
Be sure to visit Fuzhou Oyster Cake, home of the Fried Oyster Cake (and the only thing on the menu). Anthony Bourdain had a good point. If you've been in business for years, with only one thing on the menu…you must be doing it right. Also, be sure to visit Tian Tian Hainanese - famous for their Chicken Rice.
*Lau Pau Sat is another popular Hawker Centre, known for their satay stalls. At night, they block off the street too.
