Singapore Guide

Things To See & Do

Steeped in history and tradition yet home to the very latest in modern living, Singapore's eclectic mix of cultures is utterly fascinating. Explore the many districts which are home to a diverse multicultural population and celebrate the many lifestyles of Singapore.

Chinatown, with its quaint pre-war shopfronts, has changed little with time. Step into the Chinatown of yesteryear at the Chinatown Heritage Centre for insight into how the original 'coolies' once lived, worked and played.

In Little India, discover the art of dressing in a sari, experience henna painting, visit one of the many temples, shop for gold, or have your fortune told the traditional way - by a parrot!

Find Singapore's Malay community in Kampong Glam, where you can meander through market stalls filled with silks and woven baskets, or visit the stunning Sultan Mosque and Palace.

Katong is Singapore's main Peranakan district - a local culture combining Malay and Chinese traditions with influences from the Dutch and British - where you'll discover original cuisine (Nonya), jewellery and customs. Try your hand at intricate beadwork at Rumah Bebe's shophouse, then head next door for traditional Peranakan dumplings.

An unrivalled family destination, visit Singapore to escape the daily grind and rejuvenate the entire clan - young and old.

Sentosa is a playground for children and adults alike. Catch the cable car from mainland Singapore, then race to the bottom on the heart-racing Sentosa Luge. Swim with the famous pink dolphins at Sentosa's Dolphin Lagoon, then enjoy the wonder on your children's faces at the nightly Magical Laser Light Show.

You'll never forget a day at the open-plan Singapore Zoo, where you truly feel part of the enclosures - especially when you breakfast with the park's famous orang-utans.

Jurong BirdPark is home to 8,000 birds from 600 species including pelicans, flamingos, macaws, hornbills and cockatoos, while the DUCKTour is a completely different tour, combining land and sea to take in the Civic District, Merlion Park, Victoria Theatre, Clifford Pier, the Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay and Marina Bay.

Whether you're a bargain hunter, lover of luxury or an all-round shop-a-holic, Singapore is the ideal destination for some serious retail therapy. From lively haggling in Chinatown and Little India, to modern mega-malls and designer boutiques, Singapore's shopping is legendary.

The famous Orchard Road is said to be the world's longest continuous shopping boulevard. Ngee Ann City is a highlight, and home to the acclaimed Takashimaya store.

Known for its traditional artwork, Chinese calligraphy and feng shui products, the Chinatown Night Market is an exotic retail adventure, while the Mustafa Centre in Little India offers 24-hour shopping for visitors keen to make the most of every minute.

Tech junkies will love Funan Digitallife Mall, home to all the latest gadgets and gizmos. Club Street and Ann Siang Road are home to trendy boutiques and designer labels.

Why not finish off a hard day of shopping with a relaxing session of foot reflexology at one of Singapore's 200 salons - the perfect excuse to put your feet up.
