72 HOURS IN THE CITY

colour and fragrance in the Flower Dome, and witness the iconic 50-metre structures of the Supertree Grove. Take the afternoon to explore one or more of Singapore’s cultural districts – from wandering around Chinatown, where you’ll discover inspiring architecture and vibrant street markets, to Little India, the perfect spot for some traditional Indian food and where you’ll uncover spectacular temples. Or step into Arab Street and happily get lost weaving in and out of the shops. Then, follow the sunset with a unique wildlife encounter and join a moonlight adventure at the magnificent Night Safari. Finally, toast the day’s experiences with a Singapore Sling in the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel, just as some of history’s greatest writers and adventurers have before you, not to mention thousands of curious tourists. On the last day, you have a decision - shopping or thrill-seeking? Grab gifts, souvenirs, or treats for yourself on the famous boulevard of Orchard Road, or seek out something unique among the boutiques of Haji Lane. Seeking some thrill? Ride the cable car to Sentosa Island and spend a day on Universal Studios’ park rides, kayaking in the bay from pristine beaches, or bungee jumping above the sand at AJ Hackett’s. Tonight, with over 50 Michelin-star restaurants and many more options city wide, you won’t have trouble finding that extra special farewell meal.

Discover a diverse destination with gardens in the sky, award-winning street food, world-renowned shopping, and island theme parks before an afternoon at the beach and an iconic hotel cocktail. T hree days in Singapore with dozens of places to visit and hundreds of activities. Here’s our recommended way to spend 72 hours in Asia’s most varied and remarkable city state destination. Even if you arrive at the planet’s favourite airport after travelling with one of the world’s best airlines, it’s a 13-hour flight to Singapore, so you might want to take it a little easy on day one. Jump on the hop-on hop-off bus and get to know the city’s highlights and landmarks, from Clarke Quay to Orchard Road and the Botanic Gardens. Learn while you go as the audio guide dishes out historical notes and fascinating facts. Disembark close to your chosen hotel, where you can refresh before heading out for dinner. Perhaps seek out a little Bak Chor Mee (minced meat noodles) from the Tai Hwa Pork Noodle street food stall and find out why it became the cheapest dish ever to be awarded a Michelin star. Round off the day with a choice between Clarke Quay’s riverside nightlife or a little fizz at a rooftop bar looking over the downtown lights. Renergised after a comfortable sleep and perhaps a morning dip, it’s time to discover the flora of the future at Singapore’s trailblazing Gardens by the Bay. Stroll over elevated walkways past indoor waterfalls in the Cloud Forest, step into a landscape bursting with
