The definitive spot for retail therapy in Singapore is Orchard Road, the island’s upscale shopping district, home to over 5,000 businesses, from air-conditioned malls to flagship stores. You can lose track of time here, whether you’re looking to explore art galleries, shop for designer clothes, or browse for high-end goods. Refuel at one of the many restaurants, which range from Michelin-starred establishments to street food cafés.
One of the best ways to admire the Singapore skyline is by taking a scenic bumboat cruise down the Singapore River. From the water, you’ll marvel at the historic Boat Quay, as well as the city’s more modern architectural sites, including the towering Marina Bay Sands and Helix Bridge.

Needless to say, the food here is excellent, especially if you’re looking for noodles, satay, and Hainanese chicken rice. Visit the colorful Sri Mariamman Temple, Singapore’s oldest Hindu temple, and the ornate Thian Hock Keng, the oldest Chinese temple.
Singapore’s vibrant cuisine is a reflection of the multicultural community here. Iconic Singaporean dishes to try include chili crab, chicken rice, and Char Kway Teow, stir-fried flat noodles with garlic, sausage, bean sprouts, and cockles. Head to one of the many hawker centres to try sizzling street food cooked in front of you.

Originally inhabited by fishermen and pirates and later, a trading settlement, the island of Singapore was settled by the British in the early 19th century under Sir Stamford Raffles. The port was developed, and Singapore’s role as an international trade center grew. Singapore gained independence in 1965 and quickly became one of the wealthiest and most expensive places in the world as investments in housing, education, and trade began to expand. Today, it’s a major financial center as well as a hub for technology, manufacturing, and tourism.
Singapore’s culture is a melting pot, known for influences from both Asia and Europe. You’ll hear locals speaking the four official languages of English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. Such a multicultural society means there’s a year-round calendar of festivals and events, from Chinese New Year to Deepavali.
Find luxury brands and well-known names when you’re shopping at the Marina Bay Sands Mall, which is just a short 15-minute ride from the cruise center, particularly if you’re interested in high fashion and Singaporean designers. Singapore’s Chinatown is also a must-see for its energy, with plenty of independent shops, cool boutiques, and hawker food centers where you can refuel. For the most high-end shopping, head to Orchard Road, lined with air-conditioned malls and designer labels.
Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system is comprehensive and easy to navigate, not to mention efficient, safe, and clean. Hop off at the Marina South Pier station, just a short walk from the Marina Bay Cruise Centre, after spending time in downtown Singapore and the city’s main sights. Taxis are common in Singapore, but only stop at designated stands to drop you off once you’re in the city to curb traffic. Singapore doesn’t host services like Uber or Lyft; the local ride-hailing service is called Grab. The city’s trishaws are mostly a tourist activity now, so be careful not to pay too much for one.
The official currency of Singapore is the Singaporean dollar (S$). Tipping isn’t common practice in Singapore, and credit cards are considered the norm here. You can find currency exchange at banks and conveniently at the cruise port, called the Marina Bay Cruise Centre Singapore.
