Singapore Travel Guide: Explore Cities & Culture

Any itinerary of Singapore will see you whizz around each area of the city via its superb MRT rail system at will, taking in Little India and the colourful temples and vibrant streets of Chinatown by lunchtime before heading downtown to gawp at the city’s super modern architecture. In between sights you should do as Singaporeans do, which is to quite simply eat. Singaporeans love food. Stop off at Orchard Road for a spot of shopping, and take a break for a lunch of sushi and a cup of Taiwanese bubble tea, then jump aboard the MRT to Marina Bay and take a stroll around the stunning waterfront promenade and select a restaurant for dinner, with a view of the beautiful skyline - choose from perfectly seared Japanese Wagyu steaks and noodles in traditional Singaporean food halls to Cantonese set dinners and French-style fine dining high up in a skyscraper.
