Singapore essentials

Gardens by the Bay: Singapore’s latest attraction in Marina Bay brings gardening into the future! The sci-fi “super trees” are so cool and state-of-the-art conservatories house plants from endangered habitats.

Pulau Ubin: Catch a boat from Changi Point Ferry Terminal to Pulau Ubin to discover the wild jungles of Singapore, lizards included! Rent a bike for the day and pick up a map from the tourist office and get exploring. Don’t miss the Jejawi Tower for views over the area.

Baba House: This pre-war terrace house is a must-see while on holidays in Singapore. It’s one of the best examples of the elaborate Peranakan style from the 1890s. The house is a living museum and furnished to its conditions in the 1920s. Pre-booking your tour is highly recommended.

Accommodation in Singapore

Hotels in Singapore are much more expensive than in other countries in South-East Asia. Higher end hotels tend to fill up during big conventions and events like the F1 race but hostels are plentiful and there are always beds available. There are lots of quaint boutique hotels in Chinatown that are renovated shop houses. They’re absolutely darling.
