Though singapore airport has always been my favorite for shopping, it was my first time in this city, state and island country in Southeast Asia. It was almost a solo kind of trip as other members with me were definitely not interested in exploring the city, and i must say it was a amazing experience for me.
My first day was mainly a city tour where i enjoyed the city tour in the buses of the local travel buses. They have different routes and you can choose yours according to your priority, Weather you are solo tripping, or with friends or family, this is one of the best ways to explore whole city so conveniently and in budget too.
It makes you familiar with the city, in your language, according to your preferences.
Here are some pictures which might give you the idea about the trip.
The buses takes you to all the attractions the city have for you. You can always get down where you want to and continue your trip after enjoying that particular place to our next stop very easily.
They take you to all the different parts of singapore, old and new. They have different street like, Indian and Chinese, and have all the vibes of the place according to its name, be it food, people or language.
After walking a lot at the gardens by the bay, my day ended at the marina bay sands. You can go on the top floor and enjoy the beautiful city lights, have some drinks and have good time with friends. (Its a bit expensive though compared to singapore flyer)
My day 3 was at Universal Studios Singapore. And it was a fun day full off activities. If you are with family or kids, this place is amazing for you because it has something for everyone. I had express unlimited pass so it was easy for me to access the whole place more than once without consuming much time, so i would definitely prefer that for everyone as well, but if you are not huge fan of this kind of places, you can take to normal pass where the only disadvantage is its time consumption and rush.
Its a nice combination of a fairy tale and action packed adventure. The shows are amazing and if you love those horror rides this place is going to be fun for you.
Santosa island is one of the main attractions when your are in singapore. Its a huge island and have it all you can imagine, be it water park, casino, shopping, beach, cable car, fun activity, party and peace too all in one place. It is almost impossible to go trough all the places in a day so if you want to enjoy each and everything of santosa you atleast need three to four days. So i made my priorities listed before hand. You can also purchase a fun pass in which you can pay for multiple activities of your choices rather than separately paying for each(which is quite economical too).
S.E.A. Aquarium is one of the most popular places on sentosa and its definitely a worth thing to do on this island. Its a bit time consuming but you will not regret that for sure.
Day 5 was just a relaxing day at the walkway near the merlion, without which you can not complete your trip to singapore. You can enjoy the boat and snacks and drinks at the cafes around.
