Singapore is undoubtedly the great metropolis of Southeast Asia. In it tradition and modernity merge creating a mixture that, like it or not, leaves no one indifferent.
If you plan a visit to this corner of Asia and do not know where to start, today we are going to tell you 10 things to see and do in Singapore.
1 / CALLEJEAR BY LITTLE INDIA
Undoubtedly one of our favorite neighborhoods: walking through the streets of Little India has transported us for a moment to our great journey through the craziest subcontinent of all. Lassi, chai, samosa, pakora, dhal, roti, malai kofta, gulab jamun ... here you can find everything your stomach needs to be happy, and for the soul you will only have to walk between the stalls and meet the white smiles of the sellers
2 / GO TO THE BEACH AND UP TO A RUSSIAN MOUNTAIN
Sentosa is undoubtedly one of the great attractions of Singapore: here you will not only find beaches and palm trees but you can also enjoy visits to Amusement Parks such as the Universal Studio.
3 / RELAX IN THE GARDENS
Many know the skyline of Singapore but almost everyone does not know that there are many parks and gardens in the city where you can take a break and enjoy nature. Our favorites are the Botanical Garden, colorful and rare flowers and the Gardens by the Bay where you can run into the curious trees that, at nightfall, light up creating a most surreal atmosphere.
4 / FEEL HIPSTER
Singapore will show you its most hipster facade on Hadi Lane where, if your budget is tight, you will have to resist the temptation to buy nice clothes or sit in a cool cafeteria. Luckily, walking is still free!
5 / FREE CONCERTS
Singapore is not the cheapest city in Asia, this is true, although it is also true that it offers many free attractions ... like concerts. The best place to enjoy live music and shows is the Esplaneade building (the one in the shape of Durian!).
6 / THE FLAVORS OF CHINATOWN
Chinatown is another unmissable neighborhood on a trip to Singapore. Here you will find temples (the one of the Buddha's tooth relic is beautiful), typical perankan houses, charming alleys full of lamps and Chinese lanterns ... Although what you will find most will be food: noodles, rice, fish, chickens, ducks ... It is almost impossible to visit Chinatown and keep an empty stomach.
7 / TAKE A SELFIE WITH MERLION
Another of the symbols of the city is Merlion, the protector of Singapore with the body of a fish and the head of a lion ... you can't leave here without a photo I remember with him.
8 / EXPLORE THE FINANCIAL AREA
The skyline of Singapore is one of the biggest attractions of the city, either from the top of the Marina Bay Sands or from the streets that roam its skyscrapers. The financial zone can be visited both day and night.
9 / LIGHT SHOW
Every night at 20.00-21.30 from the Marina Bay Sands hotel lights are projected that paint the sky of Singapural sound of music. The show is free and beautiful, it is definitely worth it!
10 / AMAZING LITTLE ARABIA
The Arab quarter has been a surprise. The snapshot left by the Great Mosque of the Sultan with its golden dome is one that does not forget
We leave more in the inkwell: in Singapore there are many more things to see and do how to go Orchard street and its incredible shopping centers, explore the food courts and hawkers centers, try their most typical dishes like chili crabtake something in Quay clark and much more ... but if we tell you everything there are no surprises, right?
