The Marina Bay skyline and Gardens by the Bay — Singapore Essentials itinerary
First-time Singapore

Singapore Essentials

Singapore · 4 nights — big sights, incredible food, one easy escape.

4 nights · 5 days Singapore
Why we chose this escape

Singapore is often treated as somewhere to stop on the way to somewhere else. We think it deserves more than that.

  • In one city you'll find futuristic architecture, spectacular gardens, colourful historic neighbourhoods, world-famous food, waterfront views, temples, markets and some of Asia's most recognisable sights.
  • Singapore Essentials gives you four nights to properly experience it.
  • Enough time to see the highlights. Enough time to explore beyond them. And enough time to discover why Singapore is so much more than a stopover.

Big sights. Incredible food. One easy Singapore escape.

With everything relatively close and easy to explore, Singapore lets you experience an extraordinary amount without spending your holiday constantly travelling between destinations. Optional upgrades available.

Singapore

Welcome to Singapore

Your escape begins in one of Asia's most exciting cities.

Start around Marina Bay, where some of modern Singapore's most famous sights come together. See the unmistakable Marina Bay Sands skyline, walk along the waterfront and head into Gardens by the Bay, where enormous Supertrees and extraordinary glass conservatories have created one of Singapore's most recognisable landscapes.

But don't stop at the skyline. Explore Chinatown's temples, shops and food; discover the colours and flavours of Little India; wander through Kampong Gelam around historic Sultan Mosque; and see how Singapore's different cultures have shaped the city you experience today.

Then there's the food. From hawker centres and neighbourhood favourites to Michelin-recognised restaurants and glamorous rooftop dining, eating your way around Singapore is all part of the experience.

Spend your evenings beside Marina Bay, discover a rooftop with a view, watch the city light up or simply head back out in search of something else to eat.

Four nights. Plenty to discover.

Why Singapore?

Because few destinations make experiencing so much, so easy.

Singapore combines the excitement of a major Asian city with excellent transport, compact neighbourhoods and an extraordinary concentration of things to see, eat and experience.

One moment you can be surrounded by skyscrapers and futuristic gardens; the next, exploring traditional shophouses, temples, markets and neighbourhoods filled with generations of history.

And because you're not losing days travelling between different cities, four nights can feel surprisingly full.
