Holidays to Singapore

Singapore is one of Asia’s most modern, clean and safe places to visit and is a brilliant city to experience either as a one-off holiday destination or as a stopover before or after your ideal beach location.  Due to its proximity to other Southeast Asian countries and vast flying options, it is a perfect destination to twin with Bali, Malaysia or Thailand.

 

Known for its high standard of living, excellent trade and transport links, Singapore is also very popular with tourists, particularly those who are looking to combine an exciting city break with a more relaxed beach stay.  

 

With its amazing mix of cultures, brilliant shopping and dining opportunities and an excellent public transport system, there is a lot to do and see and exploring Singapore is very easy.  It’s also a very ‘walkable’ city, so take some comfy shoes and take a stroll through the back streets and towards the marina. Something that Singapore prides itself on is the eclectic mix of nationalities. This excellent mix of cultures ensures there is real religious diversity, a wealth of ethnic cuisine and a number of major festivals including the Singapore Arts Festival, the Lantern Festival and, of course, Chinese New Year!

A Guide to Singapore Holidays

Food & Drink

Food & Drink

Singapore locals love nothing more than eating out, so there is a multitude of local and international culinary options available to try on your visit.

The rich gastronomic heritage is an amalgamation of Chinese, Indian, Malaysian, and Indonesian influences – no wonder Singapore is known as a foodie heaven! 

There are an abundance of eateries and bars to choose from, ranging from luxurious high-end dining experiences to affordable street food delights.

Be sure not to overlook the gastronomic wonders of Newton Circus. By daylight, it appears to be an ordinary street, but after sunset, it changes into a bustling hub of hawker stalls serving oriental delights.

Chinatown is an essential visit too with its lively streets lined with some of the top-rated stalls.

A dining or drinking experience at the emblematic Raffles Singapore, particularly at the globally acclaimed Long Bar, where you can order a Singapore Sling, is a must too.

Shopping

Head to the world famous Orchard Road for a true taste of an Asian shopping experience.

Imagine if London's Oxford Street decided to go on a holiday and landed in Singapore – you get Orchard Road!

Once home to spice plantations, this road has now traded the spice for some nice – as in nice, glitzy entrances of colossal shopping malls. And guess what? They've got it all, from mega fashion houses to cute-as-a-button boutiques.

For those who like their shopping with a dash of tranquillity, hop onto the city's quieter side. There, away from the maddening crowd, independent designers and lively local markets are eager to meet you.

Want to bargain like a boss? Just head to Little India and Chinatown. These are the places where every penny pincher's dream comes true.

Strut your way down to Haji Lane in Kampong Glam. This narrow alley might as well be the runway for boutique shopping. Yoga studios rub shoulders with vintage shops, all under the watchful eyes of the most unusual street art and cafés.

Gardens by the Bay

One must-visit place that should top your itinerary is the renowned Gardens by the Bay.

Nestled in the heart of the city, adjacent to the marina, this verdant paradise stretches over 100 hectares.

Picture yourself strolling amidst an array of gardens and tropical zones, like the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, each with its unique charm. Yet, the pièce de résistance is undoubtedly the Supertree Grove. Imagine colossal, man-made trees piercing the sky at an impressive height of 50 meters, bound together by a skywalk. As you traverse this sky-high pathway, be ready to feast your eyes on panoramic vistas of the sprawling gardens.

And, when nightfall descends, prepare yourself for an awe-inspiring spectacle. The Supertree Grove bursts into life, adorned with an enchanting display of lights that's nothing short of mesmerising.

So, buckle up and get ready to embark on this spellbinding journey in Singapore!

Singapore Zoo

Tucked away on the northwestern flank of the island, the Singapore Zoo is a veritable sanctuary teeming with captivating wildlife - a place that wildlife enthusiasts simply can't miss.

Ever since it first welcomed visitors into its lush realm in 1973, this esteemed institution has steadily risen to join the ranks of the world's leading rainforest zoos.

A delightful refuge for more than 2,800 animals representing 300 diverse species - from formidable crocodiles and elusive Malayan tapirs to regal white tigers - the zoo has bagged a plethora of prestigious accolades both domestically and internationally.

The Singapore Zoo, with its 11 diverse zones, offers an immersive journey through a variety of naturalistic enclosures. Experience the kangaroos and wallabies in the Australasia exhibit, the charming lemurs and sloths of Fragile Forest, and the awe-inspiring lions and zebras of Wild Africa.

Enriching interactions await, including the Wild Discoverer Tour for a peek behind the scenes and interactive feeding sessions with creatures like giraffes and elephants. For young wildlife enthusiasts, the Junior Zoo Keeper camp offers an unforgettable day of nurturing wildlife.
