Day 1 Itinerary
Places visited: Changi Airport Singapore (SIN) - Merlion Park
Changi Airport Singapore (SIN)
Changi has to be one of the nicest and most efficient airports in the world. Not the worst place to have a long layover with their great food court and children play areas. In fact, it has been rated best airport in the world by Skytrax for seven years in a row since 2013.
Merlion
A view of marina bay sands from the Merlion park. The Merlion body represents Singapore’s beginnings as a fishing village (Temasek in Malay) while the head symbolizes Singapore’s original name Singapura or lion city in Malay.
Day 2 Itinerary
Places visited: The Fullerton Hotel Singapore - Asian Civilisations Museum - Victoria Theatre - Empress Lawn - The Fullerton Hotel Singapore - ATLAS
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore
A former post office named after Robert Fullerton, the first governor of the Straits settlements (which includes certain islands in south east Asia under the British empire). The building is now converted into a five star luxury hotel.
Asian Civilisations Museum
The museum’s first floor has a historical account and treasures of a ship wreck off the coast of Indonesia in the 19th century. The second floor was an exhibit of artifacts from all the world’s religions.
Victoria Theatre
Statue of Stamford Raffles
Empress Lawn
The Fullerton Hotel Singapore
ATLAS
Voted #1 bar in Asia. The interior is spectacular with the pictures not doing it justice. Atlas focuses on gins mainly.
Try one of their martinis! Come early to get a seat at their first come first serve tables.
Day 3 Itinerary
Places visited: Robertson Quay
Robertson Quay
A historical wharf alongside the Singapore river which has been transformed into a hopping urban downtown close to the Central Business District.
Day 4 Itinerary
Places visited: Mr. Lamb - Privé ACM - Cloud Forest - Flower Dome - Food Opera @ION Orchard - Orchard Road
Mr. Lamb
This is a chain all over Asia. It was ok but they charge for every single item including the hotpot sauce and the water!
Get the Australian cubed sirloin steak.
Privé ACM
Cute little cafe next to the Asian Civilization Museum.
Cloud forest
This is one of the famous tourist attractions for Singapore which is part of the Gardens by the Bay complex. It is a nature park with an indoor climate ecosystem for plants.
Buy a ticket online to save time and money. Also bring a sweater or jacket at it is highly air conditioned inside!
Flower Dome
Food Opera @ION Orchard
Hainan Chicken Rice is my favorite Singaporean dish and the national staple dish (along with Laksa). You can find "chicken rice" as it is called in almost every local food court. Delicious!
Ion orchard mall’s food court is considered one of the best and clean indoor food courts.
Orchard Road
Lights walking around the iconic orchard road food court. Bye Singapore! Until next time!
