From the visual treat that is Gardens by the Bay, the colourful neighbourhoods of Little India and Chinatown, Michelin starred hawker food [Read More](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/where-to-eat-in-singapore?hsLang=en), to old temples juxtaposed against shiny new skyscrapers with rooftop bars. Here’s the lowdown of all the best things you should not miss and places to go in Singapore, most of which can be organised in the day or night.   ## 1. Admire the view from Marina Bay Sands (MBS) Singapore ![infinity-pool Marina Bay Sands singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/infinity-pool-video-thumb-edited.jpg?width=1920&name=infinity-pool-video-thumb-edited.jpg)   What's so special about Marina Bay Sands? Well, for the best views and to get an overall impression of Singapore- start at the very top. [Sands SkyPark Public Observation Deck](https://www.marinabaysands.com/attractions/sands-skypark.html) is just the place, perched on top of Marina Bay Sands, open daily 11 am - 9 pm. The view is equally incredible by day when you can see across the sea or at night when the glittering skyline twinkles with city lights. The price to access the observation deck is S$25 (you can buy tickets online).  This lets you access the outer edge of the viewing deck, while if you visit the [Ce La Vi bar](https://www.celavi.com/en/singapore/) (similarly priced but redeemable against a drink) you can still have magnificent views, and relax at a shaded table but you won’t be able to access the lower deck. Note: Sadly only residents of the hotel can access the infamous 142m Marina Bay Sands Infinity pool.  **Sands SkyPark Observation Deck** Ce La Vi L57-01, North Sky Park, Sands Skypark Hotel Lobby Tower 3, Singapore Tel: (+65) 6688 8888, [Visit Website](http://www.marinabaysands.com/sands-skypark/observation-deck.html)     ## 2. Take a culinary or sightseeing tour of Singapore Sideways Vintage Vespa Sidecar Heritage Tours offer a novel way to see Singapore from the sidecar of a vintage Vespa and allow you access to all the hard-to-access back streets. [Click Here.](https://www.sideways.sg/) ![Sidecar Vespa Tour Singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Sidecar%20Vespa%20Tour.jpg?width=1520&name=Sidecar%20Vespa%20Tour.jpg)   Or why not Hop-On Hop-Off bus tour to get a guided view of the city complete with multilingual onboard commentaries – it’s a great way to take in all the sights with minimum effort. [Click Here.](https://www.hop-on-hop-off-bus.com/singapore-bus-tours) If you are on a time budget note that Changi airport offers a free sightseeing bus tour #FreeSingaporeTour straight from the airport (book ahead) [Click Here](https://nowboarding.changiairport.com/discover-changi/Free-tour-of-Singapore-while-transiting-through-Changi-Airport.html). ![Bus tour Singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/tour_img-1069856-148.jpg?width=1200&name=tour_img-1069856-148.jpg)   There’s also the award-winning amphibious DUCKtour on a vehicle that navigates both land and water which kids will enjoy.

[Click Here.](https://janestours.sg/) ![Jane’s-Singapore-Tours-black-and-white-house-tours-1](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Jane%E2%80%99s-Singapore-Tours-black-and-white-house-tours-1.jpg?width=761&name=Jane%E2%80%99s-Singapore-Tours-black-and-white-house-tours-1.jpg)   ## 3. Visit Gardens by the Bay or Botanical Gardens Singapore   ![gardens-by-the bay-Singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/gardens-by-the%20bay-banner.jpg?width=1920&name=gardens-by-the%20bay-banner.jpg)   The “garden city” initiative by the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew has resulted in an amazing abundance of greenery and parks in Singapore. Gardens by the Bay with its magnificent Supertree grove, flecked with purple is one of the most recognisable attractions in Singapore. There is direct access from MBS hotel into the Gardens by the Bay (free to enter). If you are travelling with kids, bring their swimmers as there is a fantastic free outdoor water play area with fountains and a playground. Then make your way through the gardens towards the OCBC Skyway atop the Supertree Grove. This raised walkway (S$8) affords excellent views of the gardens so get your camera ready! If it’s raining (or if the heat becomes too much) you can visit the indoor climate-controlled conservatory Cloud Forest and Flower Dome inside Gardens by the Bay (ticketed) where you’ll see rare flora and fauna plus the world's tallest indoor waterfall. [Click Here](http://www.gardensbythebay.com.sg/en.html)   ![Botanic Gardens Singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Botanic%20Gardens%20.jpg?width=740&name=Botanic%20Gardens%20.jpg) Another park worth a stroll in is the UNESCO world heritage site of the Singapore Botanic Gardens which is free to enter. Check out the National Orchid Garden while you are there (fees apply) and if you have kids, search out the free Jacob Ballas children’s garden complete with a treehouse, slides, sandpit, water play (bring swimmers), and vegetable garden. [Click Here](https://www.nparks.gov.sg/gardens-parks-and-nature/parks-and-nature-reserves/jacob-ballas-childrens-garden) The Gallop Extension is an 8-hectare addition to the Singapore Botanic Gardens, bringing the total area of the Gardens to 82 hectares. It comprises two conserved buildings that have been refurbished into the Botanical Art Gallery and Forest Discovery Centre @ OCBC Arboretum, the COMO Adventure Grove, Mingxin Rambler's Ridge, and OCBC Arboretum.  [Click Here](https://www.nparks.gov.sg/sbg/our-gardens/gallop-entrance)   ## 4. Check out Chinatown, Singapore   ![Chinatown Singapore Temple](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Chinatown%20.jpg?width=740&name=Chinatown%20.jpg) Start at Temple Street or Pagoda Street where you can browse the trinket shops and purchase a memento teapot with matching cups, chopsticks with your name on them and other knick-knacks. If you are here on the weekend, know that free walking tours take place every Saturday at the Chinatown Visitors Centre at 10:00 am (reserve ahead). Look out for the stunning Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum\* which is worth a look around and the newly added array of  [Chinatown iconic street art](https://chinatown.sg/article/discover-chinatowns-iconic-street-art/) To eat, there are restaurants for lunch in Chinatown and nearby Ann Siang Hill with its colourful shophouses, or check out a hawker market in our [‘Where To Eat’](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/where-to-eat-in-singapore?hsLang=en) guide. [Click Here](http://www.chinatown.sg/) **Chinatown Visitors Centre,** 2 Banda Street, Singapore 059962   ## 5.

There are so many other thrill seekers’ activities on [Sentosa island](https://www.sentosa.com.sg/en/) too from the [Mega Zip Wire](https://www.sg.megaadventure.com/) to [bungee jumping](https://www.skyparkglobal.com/sg-en/sentosa), from [IFly indoor skydiving](https://www.iflysingapore.com/) to the [Luge with its go-karts.](https://www.skylineluge.com/en/sentosa/) Plus there are beaches aplenty for some downtime - Palawan beach is also now home to Singapore's first floating aqua park - [Hydrodash.](https://www.hydrodash.com.sg/)   ## 8. Look around Little India   ![Walking Trail Little India Singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/WalkingTrail_LittleIndia_Carousel%201_640x640.jpg?width=640&name=WalkingTrail_LittleIndia_Carousel%201_640x640.jpg)   Tekka Centre is one of Singapore’s most vibrant wet markets where you’ll find stalls of spices and stunningly colourful fresh produce from exotic vegetables and herbs to coconuts (try some refreshing coconut water straight out of the shell at one of the drinks stalls), to counters of fresh seafood. A separate section of Tekka Centre sells made-to-order hawker food from Prata to Biryani, where you can fuel up before your next stop. Food stalls are rated “A” to C for hygiene (“A” being the cleanest). A few streets down, take a peek inside the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, one of Singapore’s oldest Hindu temples\*. There’s plenty of opportunity to window shop at the various gold and sari shops along the way. **Tekka Centre,** 665 Buffalo & Serangoon Roads, Little India, Singapore Tel: +65 6733 2225 [Click Here](http://www.visitsingapore.com/see-do-singapore/places-to-see/little-india/) **Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple,** 141 Serangoon Road, Little India, Singapore 218042   ## 9. Take the Singapore riverboat cruise ![Rivercruise Singapore](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Rivercruise.jpg?width=800&name=Rivercruise.jpg) If time allows, jump on the river taxi (5 pm - 7 pm and 8 am-10 am weekdays only, ticketed) at Esplanade for a scenic tour of Marina Bay. Your riverboat will take you past Boat Quay, colourful Clarke Quay and on to Robertson Quay where you can get off and have signature Singapore Chilli Crab at Red House (see other dining options here – link-) or complete the tour and end up back at Esplanade for views of the Merlion, Singapore Flyer, the Helix Bridge and the CBD skyline. [Click Here](https://rivercruise.com.sg/)   ### 10. Sip a Singapore Sling at Raffles hotel Singapore ![RHS Long Bar Interior Raffles Hotel Singapore home of the Singapore Sling](https://blog.bawahreserve.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Blog%20Images/RHS-Long-Bar-Interior%20Raffles%20Hotel%20Blog.jpg?width=1600&name=RHS-Long-Bar-Interior%20Raffles%20Hotel%20Blog.jpg)   Sipping the infamous "Singapore Sling" cocktail in the newly refurbished Raffles Hotel, Singapore is a definite must-do.
