Top Must-See Attractions in Singapore

Iconic Sights and Hidden Gems for Every Traveller

Singapore, a vibrant city-state, perfectly blends futuristic marvels, lush green spaces, and a rich culture. Beyond its famous shopping and food, Singapore offers unforgettable attractions for every visitor.

Gardens by the Bay

While the nightly “Garden Rhapsody” at the Supertree Grove is popular, the true highlight is the Cloud Forest conservatory. This cool, misty highland environment is home to an impressive 35-metre indoor waterfall cascading down a lush, tiered mountain structure. To be centrally located for this and other key sights, consider staying in a studio apartment near Marina Bay, which is right in the heart of the city.

Haw Par Villa

Built in 1937, this historic park displays over a thousand brightly coloured statues and dioramas depicting Chinese folklore. The most memorable area, the Ten Courts of Hell, vividly depicts the punishments of the afterlife based on Buddhist and Taoist beliefs.

The Southern Ridges

Explore the Southern Ridges, a 10-kilometre system of elevated walkways perfect for nature lovers. The artistic Henderson Waves bridge provides stunning city views. Paths like the Forest Walk and Canopy Walk offer an eye-level view of the rainforest canopy. Staying at apartment hotels like Dao by Dorsett AMTD Singapore allows guests to easily reach these amazing urban green spaces via a short taxi or public transport ride.

The HSBC Rain Vortex

Even Singapore’s airport is a top attraction! Jewel Changi Airport features the spectacular HSBC Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, surrounded by the stunning multi-storey Shiseido Forest Valley indoor garden. At night, the vortex transforms into a mesmerising light and sound show that captivates all visitors.
