 Exploring Singapore

- 3 Days in Singapore -

The island city-state off southern Malaysia, Singapore, has a certain sheen of wealth.
Its chic shopping malls, luxury hotels, and fine dining have held the center stage for
Singapore tourism. But this perennial stopover city has taken a serious look at the subject of
fun and reinvented itself into the ultimate 21st-century metropolitan destination in its own
right. There are many remarkable Singapore tourist attractions and if you are planning your
next holiday here, you must note these places so that you don’t miss out on the fun.
Singapore has been described as a playground for the rich, and it's true that the small
city-state does have a certain sheen of wealth. But Singapore offers more than just high-end
shopping malls, luxury hotels, and fine dining (though it's worth indulging in those a bit if
you can). There is also a vibrant history and diverse ethnic quarters to discover, along with
many family-friendly attractions and lovely public spaces that make visiting this slightly
futuristic city worthwhile.

The weather in Singapore

If there's any city in Southeast Asia you don’t want to miss it’s Singapore. This
minination on the tip of the Malay Peninsula defies the region’s usual stereotypes, and is, in
many ways, the complete opposite of its popular neighbours. There’s one big thing, however,
that Singapore shares with its Southeast Asian brethren: the weather. Like much of the
region, Singapore isn’t known for year-round perfect blue skies. In fact, at certain times of
year, planning a trip here can get a tad complicated. That’s why it’s so crucial to figure best
time to visit to Singapore before finalizing your itinerary.
Pick the perfect time to travel to the Lion City with this complete guide on when to go
to Singapore. Much like its neighbours, in Singapore this can range between anything from
pleasant hot & sunny days to torrential downpours that will make you second guess your
decision to travel to this rainy netherworld. Although singapore is—for the most part—a
year-round destination, the months of February to April fall within Singapore’s dry season
and experience (a least a tad) less rainfall than other times of the year.

 Transportations in Singapore

1. MRT (Mass Rapid Transit)

Coming to Singapore, you don't need to be bothered to go to popular places that are here.
By using the MRT, you can reach these popular locations, buddy Ticket. There are various
kinds of lines available in this Singapore MRT, 3 popular lines including East West Line
(Green Line), North East Line (Purple Line), and Downtown Line (Blue Line).
Do’s: Prioritizing seats for pregnant women, the elderly, children and people with
disabilities. You can also enjoy the view.
Don’ts: MRT In Singapore there are many restrictions, which can be broken even can be
fined not a little. If you are in the MRT area, both at the station or on the train, you:
1. Avoid carrying durian
2. Stop eating and drinking, if rejected, get a $ 500 fine
3. Stop smoking, if rejected, subject to a $ 1000 fine
4. Do not carry flammable objects, if rejected subject to a $ 5,000 fine
Take the MRT When waiting for a train to come, you should not wait at the front
door. Wait next to the door, see on the floor there are lines where the waiting line is.
Middle of the door is preferred for passengers who will get out. Put the passengers through
the middle first, then you enter through the side.
2. Bus
Buses can be the choice of public transportation in Singapore for those of you who choose
to be concise without the need to be tired in and out of the station and in transit. Apart
from being a cheaper public transportation in Singapore, buses also have more access to
places that cannot be reached by the MRT and LRT.
Do’s: Prioritizing seats for pregnant women, the elderly, children and people with
disabilities.
Dont’s: Of course smoking is prohibited. You can't get on and off the bus as you want
everywhere like riding a metromini or angkot in Indonesia. The bus only wants to stop at
the bus stop (stop) only. If in Jakarta you can take the metromini / kopaja from any door,
this can not be done in Singapore. You have to go up through the front door and tap the
bus payment card in the machine near the door. If you get off the bus, you must go
through the middle door by touching your card again to the machine before exiting. If you
want to get off the bus, you have to press the bell (on the poles near the seat) before
approaching your destination stop. If you suddenly press the bell, the driver won't stop.
3. Taxi
Taxis are indeed a public transportation in every country. By using a taxi, you do not need
to drive yourself or bring a vehicle when you want to visit various places. In Singapore,
using a taxi as public transportation in Singapore is used to take you to the nearest
destination.
Do’s: enjoy the facilities AC, enjoy the view
Dont’s: The number of taxi passengers in Singapore is very strict following the rules.
Sedan cars can only be filled up to a maximum of 4 passengers. The driver does not want
to accept 5 passengers 1 taxi sedan.
The reasons why Singapore must to visit:

1. A rich tapestry of arts and culture

While Singapore boasts a spectacular array of galleries, theatres and museums, it’s
also a city where art can be found on street corners, sidewalks and shophouse walls. Spend a
day in the heart of the city, and find inspiration in Singapore’s Civic District. The area houses
a multitude of world-class galleries and museums, including the National Museum of
Singapore, the Singapore Art Museum and National Gallery Singapore. The latter is home to
over 8000 pieces of art from Singapore’s National Collection, and has hosted exhibitions
from internationally acclaimed artists like Yayoi Kusama and Martin Creed. Alternatively,
embark on a hunt for some of singapore’s most iconic street art in the neighbourhoods of
Bras Basah, Bugis Street, Tiong Bahru and Little India.

2. Global labels meet local artisans

Fashionistas and bargain hunters alike will find that Singapore is a treasure trove of
shopping options. Your first stop for a spot of retail therapy should be Orchard Road,
Singapore’s premiere shopping belt. Whether you’re hunting for bargain buys at Far East
Plaza or shopping for the latest threads from international labels like Giorgio Armani and
Marc Jacobs, there’s bound to be an emporium to suit your tastes. To peruse labours of love
made in the Lion City, pay a visit to the bustling bohemian borough of Holland Village. We
recommend browsing the racks of local fashion boutique Ong Shunmugam and exploring the
craftsmanship on display at bookbinding atelier Bynd Artisan.
 3. Paradise for foodies

Eating is said to be a classically Singaporean past-time, and it’s not difficult to see
why. The Lion City is home to a constellation of Michelin-starred restaurants, ranging from
Japanese fusion dishes at Beni to French cuisine at Odette. Besides internationally acclaimed
establishments, our city’s diverse culinary landscape is best exemplified in its local hawker
culture. To sample true-blue hawker eats, drop by Chinatown Complex Food Centre, a
sprawling hawker centre that houses over 260 food stalls. The world’s most affrodable
Michelin-starred meal-Liao Fan Hong Komg Soya Sauce Chicken Rice and Noodle can be
found here.

4. A city of green sanctuaries

Often described as a City in a Garden, Singapore’s urban landscape is dotted with

verdant parks, unspoilt sanctuaries and lush green spaces. Uncover Singapore’s history in
tranquil Fort Canning Park, marvel at the futuristic beauty of Gardens by the Bay or spend
the afternoon strolling through the Singapore Botanic Gardens Singapore’s first UNESCO
World Heritage site. Avid explorers who’d like to spend the entire day amidst the wonders of
nature can take a bumboat to Pulau Ubin, an island that’s home to rich ecosystems, teeming
wildlife and diverse landscapes.
Some of the basis for Singapore dedication to being eco-friendly can be attributed to
fommer Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew, who dreamed that the one day singapore, sometimes
callaed The Garden city, would be known as the city in a Garden. One of singapore largest
and most visible eco-friendly initiavites is Garden by the bay.
 5. Nightlife

Whether you’re a lover of live music, a rave fanatic who digs indie beats or just
looking to soak in the party vibes, the Lion City is filled with opportunities for new revelries.
For starters, be sure to spend an evening at Clarke Quay, home to world-class dance clubs
like Zouk, rock n’ roll venues like Crazy Elephant, and a plethora of themed bars to wet your
whistle. Fans of retro culture should check out Level Up, a bar that pays homage to the video
game arcades of the ‘90s. Cocktail connoisseurs and drinking purists alike can choose from a
multitude of award-winning drinking spots, ranging from the ultra-luxe, 1920s
inspired ATLAS to Manhattan, the latter dubbed the top establishment on the Asia’s 50 Best
Bars 2018 list.

6. Passion all-year round

Singapore’s status as a global metropolis means that visitors get to enjoy a thrilling
annual line-up of art festivals, music extravaganzas and sporting events. No matter the time
of the year you’re visiting, you’re bound to find a festivity to fuel your passion. Sports fans
hoping to experience adrenaline rushes on the pitch, field and the racetrack can look forward
to the HSBC Singapore Rugby Sevens, the International Champions Cup Singapore and the
legendary Grand Prix Season Singapore respectively. If you’re in the mood to dance, be sure
to time your trip to coincide with much-beloved dance parties like ULTRA Singapore. Lovers
of culture, heritage and art should peruse the artwork on display at Singapore Art Week, or
soak in the vibes of local cultural festivities like Hari Raya Aidilfitri and Chinese New Year.

landmark in the Kampong Glam Malay Heritage District. Kampong Glam truly comes alive
during Ramadan (Muslim fasting month). At the time of my visit, it was just a few days
before Ramadhan Mubarak. Hence, a food market was held in front of the mosque. There
was also someone who gives out free drinks to people during a Friday prayer.
If you’re around Bugis Street, the short walk to Kampong Glam (the Arab Quarter)
should be high up on your priorities list. Combining a visit here with a quick look at this
fantastic mosque is highly recommended too, even if it’s just for a quick photo-op in between
your shopping or cafe-hopping. A couple of roads down, you’ll also find the fantastic Haji
