Modern Singapore

During our last tripe to Singapore we amazed by Modern Singapore  and it’s tropical climate and tasty food. Our first impression was like wow lots of skyscraper and high-rises.

Singapore has so many tourist attraction point, you’ll have long list of must see and do. Due to lack of time, we just  cover as much as we could do on 4D3N.

Finally one of my childhood dream come true, visiting Universal Studio hooray!!!! .

Day 1

Our trip started with an early flight to Singapore and 2 small backpacks.

First stop was Singapore Flyer- Since we did not want to miss even a minute, we take direct  train from Changi Airport to Singapore Flyer.

 Promenade station

We had lunch at Hawker food court under the Flyer a placed called “Singapore Food Trail”
They have designed this food court based on how Singapore was in 1960’s.
And second stop was Marina Bay sand area; such as Garden by the bay, Supertree Grove, Flower Dome.

We walked through The Helix Bridge to Marina Bay sand, which I do not recommend for those who have a hard time walking under sun for a long time.
Also Helix Bridge provides an excellent view point across Marina Bay and a good photo opportunity.

Finally we checked in around 4 pm and fall sleep.

 Bras basah station

So in the evening, we head out to do some sightseeing in Little India and china town.

China town is easy to get to, it has its own MRT station but to get to Little India you need to walk a bit.

We ended our day by chilling out at Clarke Quay – probably is one of great nightspots with a variety of restaurants and live music.

Day 2

Visiting Universal Studio was part of our plan for the second day. On their website you can find how to get there; by train, taxi or cable car. So we reached there early and had an unforgettable day at this movie-theme park. For us the two best rides were Transformers 3D & Revenge of the Mummy.

Unfortunately, the Battlestar Cylon & Human rides were closed for maintenance.

 HarbourFront station

Day 3

We started our third day by visiting Fullerton Bay Hotel and Merlion Statue.
So in the Merlion area, you’ll have fantastic views of Marina Bay

– Also taking a River Cruise on a hot and sunny days was a great idea both for relaxing and taking photos.

Duration: 40 min
The area the cruise covers are: Suntec City, Fountain of Wealth, Civic District, War Memorial, Dome Gardens by the Bay, Hylix Bridge, ArtScience Museum (‘Lotus’), Esplanade and many more.

In addition visiting Raffles hotel and having a glass of original Singapore Sling is a must !!!.
Singapore Sling is the iconic cocktail of this country. And  just 6-7 mins walking distance from the City Hall station to the hotel.

Also exploring Bugies area is interesting , you can find great souvenir.

Since you are in Singapore, Do not miss out the Light and Water Show at Marina Bay Sands.

Furthermore it would be nice to explore Esplanade and some live performances in that area.

 Day 4

Because of our flight timing we check out early and off to KL.

Tips:

• Due to hot and humid weather, do not forget to drink lots of water.
  
• Food is not so cheap in famous areas but you can buy good local food on some hawker center. 
• Also transportation could be expensive if you take taxi but their public transport specially train (MRT) is so affordable and convenient. 
• Probably Singapore is more expensive than other south East Asian countries so be prepared.

I hope you like it 🙂
