Must-Sees from the Editors of
Travel + Leisure

Singapore Art Museum
In a former Catholic boys’ school, spaces that were once devoted to history and gym class now display contemporary Southeast Asian art. Look for video works by Singapore-based artist Sima Salehi and installations by Sakarin Krue-On of Thailand. Hungry? Head to the museum’s Standing Sushi Bar for fresh (and surprisingly affordable)

Singapore Botanic Gardens
With three lakes, palm-tree-dotted lawns, pavilions with green roofs, and an orchid garden, this 183-acre oasis is akin to a tropical Central Park. In the Jacob Ballas Children’s Garden, a hedge maze with lots of twists and turns and a water play area with squirting jets keep little ones entertained.

Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple
Built by Indian pioneers in 1835, this house of worship is one of the oldest temples in the country. (In true Singaporean style, it has a savvy, up-to-date website). Throughout the vibrant, ornately decorated rooms, Brahmin priests perform time-honored devotions to the Goddess Kali.

Be sure to visit our Shore Excursions page or speak with our onboard Destination Concierge for arrangements to any of these must-sees.

Must-Sees from the Editors of
Travel + Leisure

Happy Valley Racecourse
Even if you have zero interest in horses or gambling, attending a race gives you unique insight into Hong Kong culture. The upper boxes at the racetracks are filled with local movers and shakers (whose bets are often higher than the average resident’s yearly salary); below, in the cheap seats, the masses alternately yell, cheer, and pray.

Star Ferry
This vessel, used by commuters every day, connects Central Hong Kong to the Kowloon Peninsula. The ride provides glorious views of the city skyline—and costs about 30 cents.

Victoria Peak
The 1,800-foot-high mountain is the address for Hong Kong’s wealthiest residents. The funicular tram ride to the summit tops many travelers’ lists (go early to avoid lines), although it’s not for acrophobes: you’ll head for the peak at what seems like an impossibly steep angle.
