A city-state where the jungle grows between towers. Discover Singapore through its hawker centres, neighbourhoods of colourful shophouses and futuristic gardens, ducking the heat between tropical showers.
trading port founded by the British in 1819 on a sea crossroads used for centuries, Singapore became independent in 1965. Its Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian communities each left their own neighbourhoods, temples and cuisines.
The best way to understand the city is to eat: laksa at a hawker centre stall, roti prata in Little India, kaya toast for breakfast. Between meals, alternate Marina Bay’s landmarks with the quieter streets of Tiong Bahru or Kampong Glam.

DiscoverFind your bearings
For a first stay focused on the landmarks: Gardens by the Bay, the waterfront and the Civic District museums on foot. Hotels here are pricey; compare with Bugis or Clarke Quay, both well connected by MRT.
For shophouses, temples and hawker centres. Very handy for eating at any hour; the streets around Pagoda Street stay busy late.
For the neighbourhood feel around Sultan Mosque, the lanes of Haji Lane and cafés. A good balance between budget and access to the centre.
For slowing down: 1930s Art Deco flats, bakeries and a morning market. More residential and quieter at night, a few stops from the centre.
A first visit
A starting point to adapt to the weather, your energy and opening hours.
Morning at the Botanic Gardens before the heat. Lunch at a hawker centre, then an air-conditioned museum in the Civic District. Late afternoon at Gardens by the Bay and the Marina Bay promenade; dine at Lau Pa Sat or in Chinatown.
Breakfast in Tiong Bahru, then Chinatown and its temples. Afternoon between Little India and Kampong Glam. Save Sentosa or a nature park for another day instead of cramming everything in.
