My Guide to Singapore.
Thursday, May 11, 2017
I received a couple of emails over the past week regarding Singapore and what to do while you're there. I figured instead of answering a bunch of emails individually, I would do a post on My Guide to Singapore. [You can click on hotels, sights and malls to go to their website.]
Travel
Once you're in Singapore, the easiest way to get around is by the MRT (Singapore's subway/underground rail). While rides on the MRT are super cheap, there is an even better option for tourists. It's called the Singapore Tourist Card and for $20 (for three days) you can ride the underground and above ground trains, as well as all buses. Also, I never waited more than 3 minutes for a train, which is a bonus!
Accommodation
When I've gone to Singapore, I've stayed at Swissotel on Stamford or Parkroyal on Pickering. But, there are heaps of other places throughout the city that beautiful and quite affordable. I would recommend staying near Chinatown, City Hall or Orchard stations.
Sightseeing
This could take forever, there are so many places that I have to recommend throughout the city!! If you're only in Singapore for a short stop-over, I would highly recommend going down to the bay area (use Bayfront MRT station) and check out Gardens by the Bay, the Singapore Flyer and Marina Bay Sands (it's a hotel as well as a shopping mall). Other great things to see are the Singapore Zoo (I would recommend doing the Night Safari), you definitely need to go and walk around Little India and Chinatown! Another great place to visit is the Raffles Hotel, it's famous for their Singapore Sling (a delicious drink) and beautiful architecture.
Shopping
There are so many malls that I would recommend!! Marina Bay Sands, Raffles City, Vivocity and Orchard Road are some great ones (just to name a few).

Food
When over in Singapore, eat like the locals. There are crazy food courts all around the city for you to try local delicacies like chilli crab and loads of different style of rice. While it's not specifically specialised in Singapore, I lived off iced 'bubble' teas and I would definitely recommend giving one a try while in the city.
much love,
