The area and getting around

An entire world in one city

Singapore’s charm lies in that it is small enough to quickly become familiar, yet large enough to constantly surprise. Each neighbourhood has a distinct personality, culture, and heritage that provides a unique insight into the city. Whatever you are looking for, Singapore has got you covered. For beach-time bliss and leisure attractions, head for Sentosa, the island just off the south coast of the city. For urban slick, Marina Bay – the central business district – is replete with stylish rooftop bars and restaurants competing for the best view of the cityscape.

A neighbourhood for everyone in Singapore

For authentic Singapore, Chinatown brings you atmospheric temples, heritage shophouses, and Michelin-starred hawker food. For the best shopping, Orchard Road is a two kilometre stretch of shopping heaven. Want to live like a local? Head to the neighbourhood of Katong, with its streets lined with brightly coloured heritage shophouses and authentic old-school kopitiams at every corner.

Top 5 travel tips in Singapore

1. Discover the delights of Chinatown

Chinatown is a shoppers paradise, with the widest range and best value souvenirs you will find anywhere, and it is, of course, home to the city’s best authentic Chinese food. Don’t miss Chinatown’s Thian Hock Keng Temple, the oldest in Singapore!

3. Discover a tropical panorama

Escape from the concrete jungle and reconnect with nature at the treetop walk at MacRitchie Reservoir. It takes at least 3 hours to enjoy the trail at a distance of around 7km. If you have never seen a rainforest canopy from above, this is your chance!

4. Visit Singapore’s island of leisure

Sentosa is a purpose-built island just off the coast of Singapore which is home to a fine agglomeration of white, sandy beaches, exciting theme parks, great shopping and delicious dining opportunities on a strip of reclaimed land. Ramp up the fun factor by taking the cable car to the island!

5. Adrenaline junkies – this one’s for you!

Undoubtedly the most adrenaline-inducing activity in the city is the G-Max Reverse Bungy. You are catapulted skywards just like an astronaut in a rocket, accelerating to over 150 kilometres per hour and reaching a height of over 60 metres. Faint hearted?! This one’s not for you!
