Any itinerary of Singapore will see you whizz around each area of the city via its superb MRT rail system at will, taking in Little India and the colourful temples and vibrant streets of Chinatown by lunchtime before heading downtown to gawp at the city’s super modern architecture. In between sights you should do as Singaporeans do, which is to quite simply eat. Singaporeans love food. Stop off at Orchard Road for a spot of shopping, and take a break for a lunch of sushi and a cup of Taiwanese bubble tea, then jump aboard the MRT to Marina Bay and take a stroll around the stunning waterfront promenade and select a restaurant for dinner, with a view of the beautiful skyline - choose from perfectly seared Japanese Wagyu steaks and noodles in traditional Singaporean food halls to Cantonese set dinners and French-style fine dining high up in a skyscraper.
Nature lovers should head to the Singapore Botanic garden one morning to go for a jog or a peaceful meander through its lush greenery, before strolling through the world’s largest display of orchids in the National Orchids Gardens. If you haven’t seen them already, then now’s the time to take in the delightful Gardens By the Bay next to the marina to see the fabulous (and gigantic) super tree grove. To get your culture fix, take a stroll through Kampong Glam to get a feel for Malay and Muslim life in the city, and then head to the Peranakan Museum or the Asian Civilisations Museums to learn about the local people, cultures and traditions. In the evening take a night safari through a 35 hectare partition of lush Singaporean rainforest, to see species such as the Malayan tiger roam freely.
