It has a deep history waiting to be discovered beyond skyscrapers and impressive artificial structures. Here’s how to see both sides of Singapore with our guide to 10 best things to do in Singapore:

Pastel hues, bright colors and intricate details. Joo Chiat is where you can find traditional Peranakan homes (influential Malay Chinese). The streets are free to visit and are one of Singapore’s hidden gems.
Chinatown
Chinatown is one of Singapore’s most vibrant corners and offers plenty to enthusiastic travelers. This area is generally frequented by tourists visiting Singapore for its cultural fusion. I always find this city fascinating because it combines Eastern culture. Additionally, there is a new addition to Western culture, which is becoming extremely popular in the city. Make sure to grab a famous ice cream sandwich. Welcome to escape from the heat and humidity! Only SGD 1.20 costs.
Sentosa
If you are visiting Singapore with your kids or feel like your own child, Sentosa is the place for you. This island resort feels like you’ve entered a completely different world. It’s far from the fuss and busts of downtown Singapore! The island features Universal Studios, a water park, a beach and golf clubs.
Temple of the Buddha’s Tooth Relic
Located in Chinatown, the Buddha’s relic temple is located in a huge pagoda. This weighs in an incredible 3,500 kilograms. Ah, did I say it’s made from 320 kilograms of gold? Only the monks are permitted to enter the artifact room, but not everything is lost for us merely human beings. Visitors can see the teeth relics from the public viewing area and are free to visit.

Sri Mariamman Temple
As Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple, Sri Mariamman is a beautiful sight in the eyes. The temple dates back to 1827, with a whirlwind of colour and detail, and is built in the Dravidian style. It was dedicated to the goddess Mariammannourishes and protects everything.
Merlion
The Bay Area area is a great place to spend time, especially in the evening. Merrion lives here near the central business district. A mythical creature with a lion head and a fish body. I had to ask to find out exactly what Merrion is or what it means, in a way that is of little use. I did a quick search later and found out that Merlion is widely used as a mascot. It marks the humble beginnings of Singapore as a fishing village to Singapore today.
