Most of the action in Singapore is located in the south of the island. You can drive from one end of the country to the other in one hour, but don’t let the size of the country fool you as it is easy to run out of time trying to experience everything. Gifting Owl helps you avoid falling into this trap by providing you with a platform of ready-made ‘must-see’ and ‘local knowledge’ experiences to help you get your fix.
Singapore is famous for its clean environment, city skyline featuring Marina Bay Sands, the enchanting Gardens by the Bay, delicious street food (the specialty is the chilli crab), a world-class airport and buildings covered in greenery known as Tree Scrapers.
Haji Lane is a must-visit destination in Singapore no matter what type of traveller you are. Located in the inner city Kampong Glam neighbourhood it’s an Instagram lovers’ paradise due to its graffiti littered laneways, multicultural cafes and quirky boutique shops. After sunset, these epic little streets really come alive. Prepare for the graffiti to become illuminated, for music to engulf the laneways and beer towers aplenty to make their appearance at almost every table. Wherever you find yourself in Singapore, you always seem to be rubbing shoulders with tourists and locals alike.
Marina Bay Sands is undoubtedly the most iconic attraction of Singapore. As you make your way around Singapore, you find yourself catching glimpses of this jaw-dropping structure that seems to appear from nowhere, making its mark on the city skyline. The downtown building encompasses shopping centres, restaurants, cinemas, theatres, and a casino. Most famously, it is home to the largest rooftop infinity pool bar in the world. A short stroll from Marina Bay Sands is Singapore’s Gardens by the Bay. Marvel at the futuristic light show in this world-class experience right in the heart of Singapore. There are fantastic photo opportunities at both Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. Be sure to have your selfie game on point for this adventure.
Sentosa Island feels like a world within a world. Connected to the main island of Singapore by a bridge, you can easily access Sentosa Island by taxi, cable car, monorail, bus or on foot. This idyllic island paradise is a major drawcard for visitors with Universal Studios, Adventure Cove Waterpark, AJ Hackett Bungy Jumping, Animal Encounters, Segway Tours, iFly, Mega Adventure Park and many other attractions all together in the one spot. You can easily spend a full day here making the most of what’s on offer. When you are done with that, you can chill out on one of the island’s beautiful beaches or at an outdoor bar as you watch the sun go down.
Singapore is known for being extremely multicultural, hence, why Chinatown and Little India are two must-see destinations in Singapore. A trip to Singapore is not complete without allowing yourself to experience the abundance of ethnic collaborations in this island paradise. Gifting Owl caters for the real nomad within, offering Chinatown Food Tours or even Japanese inspired home cooking experiences with a local.
