Singapore is one of the most amazing cities in the world. It only covers 750 square kilometers, and has a population of 5.6 million, but it holds its own on the world stage. Some people may find the city too pristine, or a little boring, but that is far from the truth. In this article, we’ll discuss three things you can do on a trip to this Asian metropolis.
Marina Bay Sands
Marina Bay Sands is an iconic building that is known globally. With views over the bay and attractions that are a must-see, it offers plenty for tourists to do. For example, there is a state-of-the-art casino that offers gamblers the chance to play a range of games like blackjack, poker, slots, and many more. Although the online form of gambling has increased in recent years, with games like Slingo giving gamers the chance to play a mix of slots and bingo across a range of themes, it’s places like Marina Bay Sands that offer an unrivaled gambling experience. The sprawling complex has over 2,500 slot machines and 600 table games.
Not only can visitors gamble, but they can shop until they drop, too. Every luxury brand you can imagine is located in the mall, and when that’s all said and done, there are top-tier dining options to choose from. After dinner, tourists can visit the world-famous SkyPark, which runs across the three towers and gives unbelievable views of the city’s skyline as well as a 150-meter infinity pool. Up here, visitors can relax and take in the uniqueness of this city-state.
Raffles Plaza
Close to the business district of the city, Raffles Plaza has a range of outdoor restaurants and bars that cater to both locals and tourists alike. What’s so unique about the area is that it dates back to colonial times, so it feels like you have been transported back in time to the 1800s. Adjacent to it, is Raffles Hotel, one of the most luxurious spots in the city. With plenty to see surrounding the plaza, it is definitely worth coming to this part of town.
Sentosa Island
Just over 20 years ago, this island was falling apart. It had little to no investment for years, and facilities had seen better days. All of that has now changed, though, and the island remains one of the most popular attractions in Singapore. Visitors can access it by road, monorail, or by walking, but by far the best way to arrive in style – the Singaporean way – is by cable car. Much like Marina Bay, visitors can take in the skyline of the city on the short trip over.
When they reach the island, tourists can visit some of the island’s beaches, which offer clear water, or else take in some adventure sports like zip-lining. While one of the largest aquariums in the world gives visitors a glimpse at more than 1,000 species, the islands also boast a range of luxury hotels, such as The W, some forts for history lovers, and an exciting nightlife with clubs and restaurants that offer music and fine dining.
Now that you know why, a visit to Singapore is a must for anyone looking to experience a luxury holiday.
