Welcome to Singapore! From the airport, you will be transferred to your centrally located hotel, and you have three days to explore this unique city-state at your leisure.

Make sure to visit the city’s iconic sights in the Marina Bay area. You can take a stroll through the futuristic Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, and watch its nightly light show. For panoramic city views, head to the rooftop bar at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel.

With its patchwork of diverse neighbourhoods, it is well worth spending a day discovering all of Singapore’s districts. From the distinct architecture and colour palettes of Chinatown and Little India, to the sleek Central Business District, or lively Clarke Quay, there is so much to see. For another dramatic contrast, take the cable car over to Sentosa Island, discovering its beautiful beaches and lush greenery.
