Things to do in  Singapore

A tiny island but a travel hub, Singapore is known for shopping, street food, and its skyline, particularly Marina Bay Sands. Changi Airport, home to a 130-foot (40-meter) waterfall, is considered one of the world’s best airports, while the iconic Raffles Hotel gave the world the Singapore Sling cocktail.

Singapore is a great destination for a long weekend. Get foodie at hawker courts, cocktail bars, or fine dining—or take a cooking course. Explore world-class museums; shop the malls on Orchard Road; or visit the Night Safari at Singapore Zoo, the light show at Marina Bay Sands, or the amusements on Sentosa Island.

Singapore is magical at night. Join a night cruise; visit the SkyPark observation deck; hit stylish cocktail bars; watch nocturnal animals on the Night Safari at Singapore Zoo; or savor the light and water show at Marina Bay Sands or the light and sound show at Gardens by the Bay.

Singapore is crazy diverse: head to Sentosa for theme parks, Marina Bay for skyline views, Chinatown for temples and shops, and Little India for food and street art. Sip a Singapore Sling, eat chili crab and Hainanese chicken rice, and tour a museum. Gardens by the Bay and the Night Safari at Singapore Zoo are must-dos.

Singapore has all the indoor activities you’d expect in a global financial hub. Choose between spas, malls, museums, workshops, galleries, cinemas, eateries, and cooking classes. Try your hand at parkour, ice skating, trampolining, ax throwing, and more—or opt for city signatures like hawker courts or the Gardens by the Bay.

Yes. With fearsome penalties, strong social bonds, and a repressive government, Singapore boasts one of the lowest violent crime rates in the world. It’s not unusual for Singaporeans to fall victims to scams, but crimes such as robbery, snatch theft, assault, murder, and stranger rape are extremely rare.
