What to see and do in Singapore?

Singapore has been voted as one of the 5 cleanest cities in the world and boasts lovely green parks in the middle of the city. If you want to escape the feeling of being boxed in by skyscrapers, visit the Botanical gardens and Gardens by the Bay, to name a few. Did you know that over 50 percent of the city is comprising of greenery?

If you have never seen a Cantonese Opera show then we recommend that you head down to Chinatown. Shows take place every Friday and Saturday and you will be able to see opera classics with full costume and makeup. It is an incredible experience and there are many photo opportunities.

The skyline is especially breathtaking at night and can be viewed from many locations in the city. If you love skyscrapers and adrenaline then you can go swimming at the infinity pool where you have an amazing view of the city. You have to be a guest of the hotel but there are tours to the observation deck.

A visit to Little India is a must. Here you will be able to see how the local Tamil Indian community lives. If you want to try authentic Indian food, then this is the place to go to. Don’t forget to try the  Muthu’s Curry. The best time to visit is when the Indian holidays of Thaipusam and Deepavali are celebrated.

Wander around historical buildings, visit top museums and shopping malls. The harmony between old-meets-new architecture will impress. Neighourhoods like Tiong Bahru and Joo Chiat are recommended.

I have been fortunate to have done quite a bit of travelling. By heart I am an adventurer and I love exploring new places, cultures and food. Travelling can become stressful and expensive. Over the years I have learnt to travel as cost effective as possible, simply by travelling more clever. Nelmitravel.com is a Adventure and Budget Travel site where I review Airlines, Accommodation, Transport, Restaurants and give helpful travel information.

Thank you for visiting. Have a fabulous day!
