Singapore is a vibrant metropolis that offers a unique blend of cultures, stunning architecture, and lush greenery. From world-class shopping malls and entertainment venues to tranquil gardens and iconic historical landmarks, there is always a wealth of exciting attractions for you to discover. Whether you’re staying in a service apartment in Singapore for business assignments or attending networking events, check out this list of unique things to do in Singapore to make the most of your stay!

 

1. Explore Marina Bay Sands

No trip to Singapore is complete without a visit to Marina Bay Sands. Designed by the renowned architect and urban planner, Moshe Safdie, this architectural marvel is one of the city’s key tourist spots. It features a massive mall, casino, convention centre, and hotel. Among its highlights is the 57-story-high SkyPark, where you can enjoy breathtaking views of the city skyline while lounging by the rooftop infinity pool. For a more indulging dining experience, visit any Michelin-starred restaurants or sip a glass of bubbly at CÉ LA VI’s Sky Lounge, perched on the same level. 

 

2. Visit Gardens by the Bay

The futuristic park of Gardens by the Bay reflects the city’s commitment to green spaces, featuring the iconic Supertree Grove, Flower Dome, and Cloud Forest. 

  • Experience a surreal 22-metre high stroll on the Skyway trail, bringing you closer to the towering Supertrees. 
  • Don’t miss the Cloud Forest, where you can take a treetop walk and marvel at a breathtaking 114-foot indoor waterfall. 
  • For those who appreciate Mediterranean flora, the Flower Dome serves as a peaceful retreat from the hustle and bustle.

 

3. Discover Singapore’s Cultural Districts

Stop by vibrant districts for an enriching Singaporean cultural experience that complements your short-term stay, no matter where your furnished apartment in Singapore is located. With its bustling streets and traditional shophouses, Chinatown takes you on a trip down to local Chinese roots. On the other hand, Little India immerses you in the sights, sounds, and scents of Indian culture. Here, you can explore bustling markets, aromatic spice shops, and exquisite Hindu temples.

 

4. Take a Night Safari

The world’s first nocturnal zoo, the Night Safari, is a must-visit for an exceptional wildlife adventure. Spanning 86 acres, the reserve is home to approximately 2,500 animals from 130 species, including over a third that are endangered. Besides, a 40-minute tour covering seven themed geographic areas adds a touch of excitement to your Singapore itinerary.

 

5. Stroll Around Sentosa Island

Visiting Sentosa Island can be among the top things to do in Singapore. The premier leisure destination provides everything from pristine beaches to exciting attractions, such as Universal Studios Singapore and the S.E.A. Aquarium. As night falls, the area transforms into a hub of after-dark adventures — a good reason for you to spend extended hours at popular attractions like Skypark Sentosa by AJ Hackett, Skyline Luge Singapore, Skyhelix Sentosa, and Wings of Time. 

 

6. Shop on Orchard Road

Lined with luxury boutiques, department stores, and trendy fashion outlets, Orchard Road is the ideal place to indulge in retail therapy. Whether you’re shopping for high-end brands or unique finds, this retail paradise has it all! Notably, the newly opened Design Orchard showcases a curated selection of Singaporean designers and creators. This vibrant two-and-a-half-storey space is home to more than 60 local brands.

7. Enjoy a River Safari

The River Safari features a boat ride that takes you through the habitats of various river-dwelling animals. It’s a serene yet exciting way to learn about wildlife from different parts of the world while admiring the scenic beauty of the river.

 

8. Wander Through the Singapore Botanic Gardens

A UNESCO World Heritage Site, the Singapore Botanic Gardens offers an escape with its lush greenery and remarkable landscapes. The National Orchid Garden is particularly noteworthy, housing over 1,000 species and 2,000 hybrids of orchids. The botanical diversity makes it a perfect destination for plant enthusiasts.

 

9. Taste Local Delicacies at Hawker Centres

Singapore’s hawker centres are a foodie’s paradise. Maxwell Food Centre and Lau Pa Sat are some bustling markets offering a diverse range of delicious local dishes at affordable prices. So if you are eyeing more unique things to do in Singapore, why not enjoy an authentic Singaporean culinary experience by tasting satay, Hainanese chicken rice, and other street food favourites?

 

10. Visit the Singapore Zoo

Ranked among the world’s top zoos, the Singapore Zoo is one of the best attractions in Singapore for expats. It is celebrated for its open, naturalistic enclosures that enhance the experience for visitors of all ages. Experience the Great Rift Valley, home to baboons roaming freely. Meanwhile, the Reptile Garden allows you to see Komodo dragons and enjoy exciting animal shows.
