15 Things To Do In Singapore

Delays aside, the travel bubble with Singapore will soon become a reality, and we’re excited! Here, with a little help from the team at our sister magazine down there, we present a big list of fun and fab things to do in the Lion City.

#1 Stroll through Gardens by the Bay

This gigantic waterfront garden has a cool, futuristic feel and plenty of exotic plants, making it a wonderful spot for a leisurely walk. Must-see sights include the Flower Dome, which focuses on Mediterranean flora, and the Cloud Forest, a misty tropical wonderland with a roaring indoor waterfall (the tallest in the world until it was taken over by the one at Jewel Changi Airport, also in Singapore!). Want to get closer to the space-age Supertrees? Hit the Skyway trail after dusk for a surreal 22-metre-high stroll amidst the glowing structures. If you have kids to keep amused, toddle off to the huge Children’s Garden, which has sprawling tree houses, a water-play area and a toddler zone (free entry, too).

#2 Sail aboard a tall ship

The Royal Albatross is a traditionally-riggedship, and the only one of its kind in Asia. With elegant carvings and interiors made from 100-year-old hardwood, the tall ship is the masterpiece of Hollywood rigger Jim Barry, who designed the ships used in Pirates of the Caribbean. There are various options, from a signature Sunset Sail to Dinner Cruises with three- or six-course options and more. If you want to pop the question while on your Singapore escape, there are special packages for that, too! The ship also offers fun experiences such as a mast climb and the chance to get behind the helm.

#3 Wander around Little India
