Top Places to Visit

Marina Bay Sands — The triple-towered hotel with its rooftop infinity pool and SkyPark defines the Singapore skyline. The ArtScience Museum sits at its base.

Gardens by the Bay — Supertree Grove, Cloud Forest, and Flower Dome — 101 hectares of engineered gardens with a nightly light-and-sound show.

Sentosa Island — Universal Studios, S.E.A. Aquarium, Siloso Beach, and cable car rides — Singapore's purpose-built leisure island connected by monorail.

Chinatown — Colorful shophouses, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, traditional medicine shops, and some of Singapore's best hawker stalls.

Little India — Tekka Centre wet market, Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, garland shops, and aromatic spice stores — Singapore's most sensory district.

Local Food

Hainanese Chicken Rice — Poached chicken with fragrant oiled rice, chilli sauce, and ginger paste — deceptively simple, obsessively perfected. Try Tian Tian at Maxwell Food Centre.

Chilli Crab — Whole mud crab in sweet-spicy tomato-chilli sauce, mopped up with fried mantou buns. Singapore's most famous seafood dish.

Laksa — Rich coconut curry broth with thick rice noodles, prawns, fish cake, and sambal — the Katong/Joo Chiat version is most celebrated.

Kaya Toast — Charcoal-toasted bread with kaya (coconut jam) and cold butter, served with soft-boiled eggs and kopi. The classic Singaporean breakfast.
