Singapore 5-Day Itinerary

Visit the indoor conservatories in the afternoon when the outdoor heat peaks. Walk the suspended bridge in the Cloud Forest as the mist rolls out.

Find a spot on the grass beneath the Supertrees by 7:30 PM for the free 7:45 PM light and music show. It's spectacular.

Buy an Express Pass if visiting on a weekend. Hit the Battlestar Galactica coasters right when the park opens at 10 AM before the lines build up.

After USS, take the free beach shuttle to Siloso Beach. It's man-made but beautiful, lined with beach clubs perfect for a sunset drink.

Explore the massive temple. For lunch, head directly to Maxwell Food Centre (across the street) and queue for Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice.

Singapore's hip indie quarter. Great street art, boutique vintage shops, and incredible Turkish/Lebanese coffee spots.

A UNESCO Heritage site. Go early (8 AM) to avoid the heat. The National Orchid Garden (small entry fee) is absolutely stunning.

Skip the official observation deck ticket and instead go to CÉ LA VI sky bar. You pay a cover charge that is redeemable for a drink, and you get the exact same view.

Jewel is outside security. Go to the airport 4-5 hours before your flight to walk canopy bridges, see the 40-meter indoor waterfall, and do final shopping.
