Singapore's most spectacular attraction — a 101-hectare nature park featuring 18 Supertrees (vertical gardens up to 50m tall), two climate-controlled conservatories (the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest), and nightly light shows. Opened in 2012, Gardens by the Bay has become the defining symbol of modern Singapore.
The iconic three-tower integrated resort crowned by a 340-meter-long SkyPark and rooftop infinity pool at 200 meters. Designed by Moshe Safdie and opened in 2010, Marina Bay Sands has become the defining image of 21st-century Singapore — its distinctive silhouette of three towers bearing a ship-like canopy recognized worldwide.
Singapore's historic Chinese quarter — a UNESCO-recognized heritage area of colorful Straits-Chinese shophouses, Buddhist temples, and street hawker stalls. The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple (2007) anchors the district, while the Maxwell Food Centre represents Singapore's incomparable hawker culture.
Opened in 1887, Raffles Hotel is Singapore's most iconic building and one of the last grand colonial hotels in the world. The Long Bar claims to be where the Singapore Sling cocktail was invented in 1915. Its white colonnaded facade, lush tropical courtyard, and Tiffin Room have hosted Somerset Maugham, Noel Coward, and Charlie Chaplin.
Singapore's resort island — a 5km² playground of beaches, Universal Studios Singapore, the SEA Aquarium, a cable car, and luxury hotels. Sentosa was a British military fortress until 1967; today it receives 19 million visitors a year and was the site of the 2018 Trump-Kim Summit.
Singapore's vibrant South Asian quarter — a sensory explosion of garland shops, spice merchants, Tamil temples, and South Indian restaurants. The Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple (1881) and Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple are the neighborhood's ornate centerpieces, while Tekka Market offers Singapore's best wet market experience.
