Singapore is an economic giant, extensively urbanized so expect a thrill of adventure and new places to visit that will make fairy tales of Utopia a reality. Located on the south coast of Malaysia, Singapore is one of the high tech countries in Asia among the leading information and technology giants like Japan, China and South Korea. It is one of the 20 smallest countries in the world with a population of 5.8 million people as of 2019. It’s also the country known for its mechanical forest with flowing, vertical gardens and Supertrees that generate solar power.

Singapore is also among the wealthiest countries in the world so as you budget your trip, factor in that you can spend around $155 for a tasting menu at lunch and $500 for a full meal at dinner.  In addition, about 2 restaurants are opened each day in this lion city. So guess where you’ll find the key to a man’s heart?

The following are facts you should bear in mind before we delve any further into the sceneries that will make your trip to Singapore an adventure.

  • There are three modes to get around in Singapore. Either by Taxi, bus or the MRT.
  • Install the Grab app to get around in the city.
  • The country uses the SGD (Singaporean Dollar) as the currency of choice.
  • It is a bilingual country, therefore people speak English and either Tamil, Mandarin or Malay.
  • The weather is consistent and humidity is very high (167 days of rain in a year). An umbrella will save you the bustle.

Now let’s get into the top 10 places to visit in Singapore

  1. Gardens by the Bay

As mentioned earlier Singapore has Utopia in the form of artificial mechanical forests and gardens that contribute to the flora in the country.  The super trees highlighting the beauty of this scenery are fitted with solar photovoltaic systems, which convert solar energy into power, making the trees light up at night. A log way passes between the trees enabling tourists to see the supertrees up close and the city from the rooftop. These gardens compose part of Singapore’s reclaimed land and you can find this scenery at Marina Garden central region of Singapore.

I am a writer with interest in hair, beauty and fashion. I also like telling stories, but most of all I enjoy listening and reading them. If I'm not doing any of the above, I will be trying to crack a game of chess or monopoly. My biggest fear is being ordinary.
