Things to Do  

Sentosa Island

Sentosa Island, Singapore

 254 Reviews  For fascinating adventure: you must go to Sentosa Island. It is divided in 4 attractions, the Imbiah lookout, Beaches, Siloso point and the Resorts World Sentosa. While inside the Sentosa express train, you can have a magnificent view of the island. The island is so amazing and you can wonder on... 

Singapore Zoological Gardens & Night Safari

Singapore Zoological Gardens & Night Safari, Singapore

 122 Reviews  It’s the closest place to a jungle. With free-ranging orang utans overhead, you’re out to set foot on an adventure on your own. The place was quite a maze, which, if you don’t have a map at hand, you’ll end up at the White tiger’s den or at the Hamadryas Baboons! I did just that when I was lost from... 

Hotels  

Mandarin Oriental, Singapore

 7 Reviews and 1301 Opinions  Our door 2.5 meter swimming pool 

Pan Pacific Singapore

 16 Reviews and 1801 Opinions  We stayed in this hotel for our honeymoon but we were harassed and intimidated by a group of young... 

Restaurants  

Newton Hawker Centre

Newton Hawker Centre, Singapore

 20 Reviews  If you don't already know, the tastiest Singapore food and dishes are found in hawker centres in the residential areas. And Newton Hawker Centre is one of the many except that it is very well known but the food is more expensive than hawker centres visited by locals. There is also another problem.... 

East Coast Seafood Centre

East Coast Seafood Centre, Singapore

 13 Reviews  The complete name of the restaurant is Seafood International Market & Restaurant, lin East Coast.. My previous boss is so hype about this restaurant that any big events for celebration it will definitely be at Seafood Intl. Truly a great place for dinner, all kinds of crabs, lobsters, yummy... I was... 

Nightlife  

Boat Quay & Clarke Quay

Boat Quay & Clarke Quay, Singapore

 59 Reviews  one of my favorite hang outs is in singapore and i had to try this out what else! well their nearly famous chicken wings taste virtually the same everywhere hence this is what I ordered and a couple of Heinekens and long island iced teas (singapore $ 13.90 which is more expensive since it is only $... 

Chijmes

Chijmes, Singapore

 17 Reviews  I was out with 2 friends at Le Baroque, enjoying a Saturday night out, until I was punched in the face by the manager of the place. Before I continue, I am a petite, Australian female, with a professional career and cannot believe what happened to us by the staff at Le Baroque, Chijmes. We were... 

Transportation  

Singapore MRT

Singapore MRT, Singapore

 84 Reviews  First of All, like in Other Progressive Areas, Singapore has an efficient Mass Transport System which is a necessity since Singapore has a small area so that Singapore has prohibitive taxes on cars to discourage ownership. The Singpore MRT is the heart of the Mass Transport System. The MRT has 64... 

Singapore Changi Airport

Singapore Changi Airport, Singapore

 56 Reviews  If you have a lot of time to wait around at Chang Airport, have a look on Changi Airport's website. They have designated napping areas per the link below and load of suggestions for other things to do to fill in your time:... 

Shopping  

Sim Lim Square

Sim Lim Square, Singapore

 53 Reviews  I have came to sim lim square after being heard of good discounts on an Ipad2. So i have decided to give it a try to buy an Ipad2 in sim lim square. I was first attracted to this particular shop on level 2, the shop shall not be name but u will see the color of the sunkist fruit and the word of the... 

Orchard Road

Orchard Road, Singapore

 61 Reviews  Orchard Road at Singapore Shopping Mall should be the next special destination for the shopaholics. Mandarin gallery, DFS Galleria, Far East Plaza, Ngee Ann City, The Paragon and Orchard Central are name of places that you will not forget. They are famous for their uniqueness and are ideal to visit... 

Local Customs  

Daily Customs

Daily Customs, Singapore

 20 Reviews  Often and much you will listen of how is a Durian Fruit. Much people like it. In Singapore is in the Bugis market area a Durian seller, where you can see how to manage to open this tropical fruit- good place to test it! It is said in restaurants is not usual to offer this tropical durian. See... 

Warnings Or Dangers  

Prostitution

Prostitution, Singapore

 11 Reviews  I've been Mickied once in my life and that one time was in Singapore. I was on the 2nd or 3rd floor of the Orchard Towers (AKA 4 Floors Of Whores) in Singapore hanging out with the Thai ladies. Next thing I know I wake up 10 hours later on my ship. I slept right through my watch. Thankfully I made... 

Rules & Civil Conduct

Rules & Civil Conduct, Singapore

 22 Reviews  If you are a would-be traveller to Singapore, hold your horses. All that glitz, glamour and hullabaloo you expect to see in Singapore are just nondescript, kitsch setups to lure tourists and their travel dollar. Every country presents disappointments of its own and my purpose is to inform you of... 

Tourist Traps  

Purchasing Electronic Goods

Purchasing Electronic Goods, Singapore

 22 Reviews  I tried to buy a Samsung galaxy S II in this place. After negotiating the price, i paid the price (600SGD) and the attendant told me it will cost extra to unblock the cell phone so i could used it abroad. She was not honest, because she knew i was going to use the mobile phone out of Singapore. She... 

Price Hacking

Price Hacking, Singapore

 10 Reviews  The whole place is a trap, from when you leave the plane be on guard. The taxi driver will take you the longest way possible and charge max. extras. In your hotel it starts cheap then theres extras from clean sheets to using the Iron. The guy who you think is your friend is going to tell the... 

What to Pack  

Dress for tropics

Dress for tropics, Singapore

 19 Reviews  A small backpack to keep your camera, purse and other small items in, l found carrying anything around at all will add to your discomfort as it is so hot there. Even with a backpack the humidity makes you sweat and feel uncomfortable. Carry water with you at all times, a face cloth and deodorant to... 

Off The Beaten Path  

Changi Beach & Changi Village

Changi Beach & Changi Village, Singapore

 10 Reviews  Changi village is a somewhat laidback place where one can escape from the virtual concrete jungle that is singapore, for a taste of what it perhaps once was when it was less developed. Don't worry, even if you are not interested in seeing a less built up side of the island, it is wonderful to... 

Pulau Ubin

Pulau Ubin, Singapore

 18 Reviews  Many SIngaporeans, young and old, love Pulau Ubin. It is laid-back, rustic, kampong and full of nature. There are lots to see at Pulau Ubin for the locals as well as the international traveller. - Kampong life - Village life - Wayang stage (wayangs are held in the 7th lunar month) - Sensory Trail -... 

Sports & Outdoors  

Beaches & Swimming

Beaches & Swimming, Singapore

 6 Reviews  Build up you nerves and try out the sexy sport of beach volleyball. Actually it's only sexy when the lady a playing. Otherwise it's jsut sweaty guys giving each other Hi-Fives. Actually, if you can play, beach volleyball is a excellent game and should be tried. I've tried nd can say that I've... 

Favorites  

Singapore Currency

Singapore Currency, Singapore

 8 Reviews  there are numerous foreign exchange money shops abound around the whole of Singapore especially around the most tourist friendly areas of Orchard Road, Sentosa, Business District, Bugis, Shopping Malls, Hotels, Casinos and even at markets and my tip here is that you must canvass first on which Money...
