Singapore

Having traveled to Singapore numerous times I thought I would share a quick overview of what to do!




If you want to shop there are so many amazing places to check out.

Orchard Road is a huge road in the middle of Singapore, full of high end/high street shops and restaurants.  There are also lots of malls scattered on the road with beautiful greenery all around.

If you prefer the hustle and bustle of authentic markets then check out Bugis Market, which has clothing and accessories at great prices.





Also across the street to the market is Bugis Junction, a mall with restaurants, shops etc. Watsons Pharmacy also resides in here and around Singapore... a great place to stock up on the Asian beauty products!

A visit to Hajji Lane is a must. A cute, colorful and narrow street in the heart of The Arab Quarter with boutique shops full of independent designers.








A walk around Arab Quarter and you will find many Middle Eastern cafes and lots of material shops. 

Amidist the streets stands tall the beautiful Sultan Mosque.







The largest luxury mall in Singapore is alongside the amazing Marina Bay Sands Hotel, The Shoppes include the famous 'floating island' Louis Vuitton store! They also have a great Louis Vuitton book store in the Mall, which is somewhere I always like to visit to pick up something.





Places to wine and dine include Clarke Quay which has many restaurants/bars overlooking the Singapore River.




I love ToastBox, for a quick bite to eat! This cute coffee shop is all around Singapore and it's signature is a thick toast cut into squares with lots of butter or peanut butter, great with a cup of tea or a cold glass of MiloThey also do a great Laksa! (a spicy noodle soup).





Shokudo is another great place to eat, the Japanese Coffee shop has lovely dishes, make sure to try the rosti with curry... mouthwatering!








There is a ToastBox and Shokudo located at the Bugis Junction Mall.

The TWG tea house is great to go and try some luxury teas and Pizzeria Mozza which has the most amazing woodfired pizza's! Both are located at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands.





Ku De Ta is also located at The Marina Bay Sands Hotel, which is a great Asian restaurant and bar with 360 degree views of Singapore.

If it's adventure your looking for then the only place is Sentosa Island!  The Island is like it's own place, you don't even need to leave if you don't want. It has hotels, villas, shopping, dining, beaches and lots of attractions! - great for children.  Attractions include Universal Studio (Disney World), Dolphin Island and Madame Tussards to name a few.





A great way to enter Sentosa Island is from the cable cars, which gives fabulous views of the green island.





Singapore also hosts the Formula 1 Grand Prix each year, which is a great excuse to visit around that time if you don't mind the crowds!
