City Quarter, Promenade, The Cove

The bay in the central part of Singapore is the business district and the main reason to go to Singapore. Its beauty is showcased especially in the nightly illumination of skyscrapers, the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, which features a world-famous swimming pool on its roof, a Ferris wheel and lion statues along the bay. Marina Bay was a highlight of our stay - the walks, the morning run, the evening show and the food. [btn "Hotels in Marina Bay"…

Mosque, City Quarter

Kampong Glam is Singapore's historic Muslim quarter, centred around the distinctive Sultan's Mosque with its golden dome. It was originally an area associated with the Malay and Arab communities and today you'll still find a mix of traditional shops, cafes and mosques. But today, it's also one of the most stylish parts of the city - Haji Lane in particular is full of street art, small boutiques and businesses. Realistically, it's a smaller…

Airport

Singapore Changi is not just an airport, but one of the places to go in Singapore without a flight. The reason is simple - the Jewel complex, which is connected to the terminals and functions as a combination shopping mall, park and attraction.

In addition, a short…

Or they'll visit the public observation deck on the 55th floor. 👉 Is it worth going to the observation deck? 👉 Or does it make sense to stay here? We gave it a try and wrote a review of our stay at Marina Bay Sands …

City Quarter

Chinatown in Singapore is smaller than one would expect. It's not a huge neighbourhood like Bangkok, nor is it as authentic as Kuala Lumpur or New York. It does offer what you expect from Chinatown - lanterns, stalls, temples and food - but in a much sleeker and cleaner form than anywhere else in the world. Singapore's Chinatown feels more like a tourist attraction, but you have to take into account Singapore's distinct culture and strict…

City Quarter, Gallery, Parliament

The Civic District is the historic colonial area of Singapore around Padang Park, where colonial buildings from the British era stand. It looks like a regular neighborhood on the map, but it's actually a couple of blocks that you can walk through in a single stroll. You'll mainly find historic buildings that hark back to Singapore's colonial past. It's probably not exactly a place you'd go on purpose for a few hours, but more of a natural part…
