Every visitor to Singapore should wander around the ethnic enclaves of Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India. Add the Colonial District in the middle and the shopping haven of Orchard Road, and you have 2-3 exhilarating days fully-packed with sightseeing and shopping.

Follow our suggested itineraries and walking tours, which will guide you to all the major attractions. You will find additional tips for districts further from the center in our highlights of Singapore.

Also consider these top attractions:

  1. Singapore Zoo and Night Safari
    Undisputedly one of the best in the world, the Singapore Zoo’s open concept features animal shows and rides, a treat for both the young and old. Come in the late afternoon and stay for the world’s first and only Night Safari. Traverse eight geographical regions in an exhilarating pseudo-tram ride.
  2. National Museum of Singapore
    First opened in 1887, this museum features five different permanent exhibitions, and plays host to numerous festivals and events every year. Entry is free on Fridays.
  3. Resorts World Sentosa
    A playground for both adults and kids is home to four hotels, a casino and a Universal Studios theme park.
  4. Marina Bay Sands or New Asia Bar
    Take the lift up to the SkyPark of the Marina Bay Sands resort for some great views of the city. Alternatively, sip a sundowner happy-hour cocktail in New Asia Bar, located in the top floor of the Swissotel The Stamford.
  5. Sri Mariamman Temple
    Check out the six-tiered gopurum, elaborate designs and beautiful colours at the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore. Definitely worth a visit!
