Top Hotels in Singapore

You’ll find some of the top hotels in the world, including the British-colonial Raffles, the Ritz-Carlton, and the Mandarin Oriental. Cheaper accommodations include the Pod, a high-tech capsule hotel, and the centrally located Plush Pods Hostel.

Singapore Transportation

You can get to almost all tourist attractions via the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) subway and railway lines, which run on time. There are also plenty of buses, Uber, and taxis with drivers that require extensive vetting before they receive a license. After your taxi ride, get a receipt which includes such details as the driver’s name and vehicle number. If you have any complaints, you can contact the cab company with your documentation as evidence.

Top Things to Do in Singapore

By itself, Sentosa Island can fill an entire trip with the Universal Studios theme park, the S.E.A. Aquarium, Adventure Cove Waterpark, Fort Siloso, and many beaches. For luxurious shopping at name-brand stores, head to the gigantic malls like ION Orchard or Ngee Ann City at Orchard Road. Prefer to haggle for a bargain? Then check out the locally-made goods and clothing at the small shops of Chinatown, Little India, or Bugis Village. Enjoy nature at the Gardens by the Bay foliage atriums, or at the Singapore Zoo’s day and night attractions. End your day with dining, drinking, and dancing at the nightlife spots of Clarke Quay and Boat Quay.
