Singapore Attractions

As one of the fastest growing countries in Southeast Asia, Singapore has so much to offer its tourists that you need to have a map with you at all times. After you've visited once and have experienced many Singapore activities, you won't hesitate to come back for more.

One of the must see tourist attractions in Singapore is the Sands Skypark located in the Sentosa area. Once you arrive and head to the top of the structure, you will see why this is one of the most popular places among Singaporeans and foreigners alike. Take a deep breath and walk around the view deck to experience beautiful views of Singapore and the world beyond - all from a building that's taller than the Eiffel Tower.

After coming down from the Sands Skypark, head to the Singapore Botanic Gardens located on Cluny Road. This attraction is one of the most popular local spots because admission is free and the views are stunning. You'll wonder how the creator ever thought to put such beautiful greenery in among the city's towering skyscrapers. This spot is perfect for tourists who love to take pictures with their friends and family members.

One of the many things to do in Singapore not to be missed is a visit to China Town. China Town is one of the best parts of the city, primarily because of its cultural diversity. Many organized Singapore tours take their guests to this area for some shopping time. You can find a variety of great deals on gifts for your friends and family, various cheap street food vendors, and the smiling faces of people from all over Asia.

Because there is so much to do in the Lion City, Expedia recommends you take advantage of one of the many Singapore excursions available to the country's guests.
