MUST visit places in Singapore

Post by moritzr » Tue, 07 Jan 2020 1:51 pm

Who doesn't know the moment when you type in google phases like:

"Best things to do in Singapore"
"Singapore with kids"
"Nice places to visit in Singapore" etc.

In order to get inspiration of where to go next, when you think you have seen it all...

It would be interesting if everyone who reads this post just name his/her favorite places to visit in your free time or which were in some way.

Looking forward to your suggestions !

Yesterday evening I went to the Night Safai at 7.15pm and afterwards to the Rainforest Lumina. Total Price 2 Adult 2 Child SGD 170. Overall the Night Safari was nice but not what I expected. However the Rainforest Lumina was amazing and definatly a MUST SEE (!). Its a 40-60 minute walk throu the Singapore Zoo with nice light and sound effects. I suggest just book the Rainforest Lumina and visit the Zoo during daytime.

I personally like these places: West Coast Park (less crowded than east Coast Park), Botanic Gardens, Sentosa Island Palawan Beach and Little India/Chinatown for the cultural experience.

My family and I love going to suntec city! There are so many dining options, arcades, a movie theater, and so much more! We prefer to go there over any other mall, and love to eat at Pepperoni pizzeria.

I love Arab Street. Definitely worth your half day there.
Another place that worth going is botanic garden.

Along with Arab Street, Haji Lane is also a place with exploring. Plenty of hidden food gems.

Lau Pa Sat
Long Bar
Raffles Place
Sentosa
East Coast Seafood Center
Orchard Road

These are the spots I would normally bring visitors on business who don’t have a lot of time to explore, to give them a taste of some reasonably iconic and memorable places.

For some unknown reason, I almost knew what it was going to be. Love that place. Spent a lot of time out there back in the days when I did lots of biking (pedal type). Excellent choice! :cool:

That's funny. I found it after getting my motorcycle inspected at the Bukit Batok Vicom center... just driving around the neighborhood... or maybe it was making a wrong turn and getting lost. A great place for quiet in busy Singapore.
