Top Attractions in Singapore
holidays to Singapore are always memorable with modern architecture
, skyscrapers, shopping streets, restaurants, simulated environments and places of worship. World's largest Observation wheel lies here and offers the most thrilling experience of the heights and bird's eye view of the Merlion, the mythical symbol of Singapore, Raffles Hotel, and Esplanade Mall, which houses top-notch retail outlets, restaurants and entertainment facilities.
Historical Sites
Singapore's urban delights also include Chijmes, the most popular place to dine and shop and Telok Ayer Market, the famous hawker centre. Re-live the city's history within the precincts of Istana, the President's office and unwind at the Raffles Hotel where the famous Singapore Sling was discovered.
Parks and Gardens
Straddling between the architectural marvels of the city and the parks and gardens is normal. Visit the Bukit Timah Nature Reserve nestled on the highest hill in Singapore and other spectacular gardens that are spread all over the city.
The Chinese Garden and Garden of Romance offer beauty and fragrance respectively. Take a stroll in the HortPark amidst various plant species and enjoy the panoramic view from the dizzy heights of Mount Faber. Indulge in the watersports of Singapore's largest park, the East Coast Park, lying adjacent to Jurong Park.
Jurong Park houses the tallest artificial waterfall and world's most amazing aviary where thousands of migratory birds perch on the rainforest trees. A Night Safari across the eight geographical locations created in a spacious conservatory gives a glimpse of the endangered species from different continents.
The Zoo is a spectacular collection of animal species from Australian Outback, various kinds of tigers and elephants, Hamadryas Baboons, orangutans, polar bears, proboscis monkeys, reptiles and white tigers.
Sentosa Island or World Underwater
World Underwater is equally fascinating and one can take a cable car from Mount Faber to Sentosa Island to view the spellbinding Oceanarium. Feel the ecstasy of walking under the water, through the see-through tunnel and be surprised at the beauty of the colorful marine species darting around. Also regale your ears at the Songs of the Sea, a sound and light cocktail on Sentosa.
Places of Worship
Singapore is a perfect melting pot with its mosques, temples, & churches. The Temple of 1,000 Lights has a 15-metre-high Buddha statue along with many smaller sculptures. The oldest Hindu temple in Singapore, Sri Mari amman Temple, has been awarded a national monument status.
Sultan Mosque, the biggest mosque in Singapore, has an awe inspiring golden dome and a beautiful prayer hall. The oldest church in Singapore is the Church of St Gregory the Illuminator. No religious tour can be complete without visiting Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, an interesting four storied temple with a 27 feet high statue of Buddha. The temple also houses a tooth of Buddha Shakyamuni. The presence of the Hindu temple in the heart of China Town is an amazing example of unity in diversity.
