Would love to visit Singapore! It’s definitely on my bucket list. Will pin and stumble your post. Thx!
OH my gosh… Singapore hasn’t even been on our radar yet (no offense to Singapore!) but I caught my breath at that picture of the Gardens by the Bay! Gorgeous!!!
I’d love to visit Singapore, especially to see the Gardens by the Bay. I didn’t know about the botanic garden, but I’d add that to my itinerary, for sure.
I would love to see Gardens by the Bay but I will definitely need to brush up my nighttime photography skills first. 😉
So amazing! I haven’t been to Singapore in years but dying to get back and visit the Gardens By The Bay!
I really love Singapore. It’s just a small country but there are lots of stuff that you can do. The line was too long when we went to Night Safari but the tour was definitely worth it. I love all those animals! 😀
This reminds me of how much I love Singapore. I never did the Gardens and really regret it as they look fab. I did a VIP flyer experience which was pretty cool as we had a private pod with champagne!
I would love to visit Singapore and see the Gardens by the Bay and the Botanical Gardens. Clarke Quay also sounds like a great spot to experience the city vibe.
Great list of attractions to see in Singapore. It’s been forever since I went to Singapore and your post makes me want to go again. Especially to see the Gardens by the Bay and shop again on Orchard road.
So glad I came across your post, I might be flying through Singapore soon and will have a layover. Hopefully, I can check out a few things on this list, especially the Gardens by the Bay. Love the idea of helping pay for your stay by tutoring.
We’re not usually taken by cities, though we LOVED Singapore – was so impressed by how clean, efficient and green it was! Glad to see Gardens by the Bay at the top of your list – it was our highlight – we went both during the day, which was amazing, and then back for the night time light show, which was also, amazing. Loved our trip!
They installed trees similar to those at Gardens by the bay in Milan for the World Expo and they were amazing. I would definitely love to visit the Supertree Grove in Singapore, especially if they have the talles indoor waterfall in the world!
We usually don’t like cities but still, want to visit and experience life there once. There is so much to do and see in Singapore. Your pictures are amazing. Thanks for sharing.
I also prefer smaller towns and villages. However, Singapore is a very clean city and has a lot to offer!
I’m actually in writing a blog post about this amazing city-state myself. haven’t been to the night zoo but I did go to some awesome street-food markets and maybe you should mention that Sentosa has a pretty nice shore line too.
Great post! I love reading about this place and get new ideas to the next time I’m there.
We loved Singapore when we are there. Love the fact that there is so much to see and experience all packed into a relatively small area.We loved our time in Sentosa and spent a magical evening at Gardens by the Bay.
Thank you for sharing this amazing and cool blog post! This has truly enlightened me!
