No matter how much time you spend in Singapore, it will always find something to surprise you with. A fabulous city<\/a>-state where there is no crime, where every corner shines with cleanliness, and the faces of local reside<\/a>nts are full of hospitality. Stay here for the whole vacation<\/a> – it will not seem enough! But it is especially important to correctly plan the recreation program if you arrive in the city for a few days. So, what to see<\/a> in Singapore in 3 days?<\/p>\n

1 day<\/h2>\n

The first day can be devoted to sightseeing<\/a> walks, during which you will see<\/a> what they are:<\/p>\n

Marina Bay and Merlion Park<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

The Marina Bay embankment appeared in Singapore recently – at the end of the 20th century. Now it is one of the most famous places in the city. Even while walking<\/a>, you can understand what Singapore is – it is both a business district, and a famous resort, and a place of concentration<\/a> of cultural life. It is on Marina Bay that this is clearly visible.<\/p>\n

Walking, you can visit the gardens Gardens by the Bay. They occupy a huge area<\/a>, but there are also places for recreation, numerous entertainment facilities, including those for children<\/a>, as well as a number of cafes. Tour<\/a>ists are especially delighted with the sculptural forms of the “supertrees”, two of which are connected by a bridge at a high altitude. It is most convenient to go to the other side of the embankment over the bridge, which imitates the structure of DNA. You won't see this anywhere else in the world<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Next to the unusual bridge<\/a> is the Youth Olympic Park, which is unusually beautiful at night, thanks to the original lighting. You will also see a “floating” platform. Artists perform here during big holidays<\/a>. And fireworks look especially beautiful from the stands, when a scattering of lights is reflected in the surface of the water. Perhaps you will get to the performance, which takes place in the Esplanade open-air theater. This is of part<\/a>icular interest<\/a> to young people, because mainly youth, but already popular creative teams perform here.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Opposite the large complex of Marina Bay Sands is the historic center<\/a> of the city. It is worth visiting the Merlion Park. Rather, there are two of them – a large one and a smaller one. The Merlion is a mythical creature with the body of a fish and the head of a lion. It is believed that this is a very kind creature, and it wholeheartedly welcomes the guests of Singapore. The height of the large Merlion exceeds 8.5 m – this is a beautiful fountain, beautifully lit in the evenings. Small, with a height of 2 m, weighs about 3 tons. A visit to a beautiful park is included in all tours<\/a> of Singapore, and photo<\/a>s with Merilon, even years later, bring good smiles. The fountain was struck by lightning in 2009 and has since been restored and is now equipped with a lightning rod. So you can not be afraid to approach him even in bad weather<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sands SkyPark Observation Deck<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Not everyone succeeds in getting here, but the lucky ones who climbed to the very top of the Marina Bay Sands hotel<\/a> complex will have unforgettable impressions. The observation deck resembles a ship sailing on “waves” \u2013 three buildings of the complex, each of which is 200 m high. You have to pay to enter here, but guests of Singapore agree to such a waste. Many come here for a few hours to take pictures of the city from above, then spend the sunset, and finally enjoy the countless scattering of night lights.<\/p>\n

There is also a swimming pool, but in order to swim in it, you need to live in this hotel complex, the number of rooms of which exceeds 2000. In this case, the pictures will be even more expressive. The pool is designed in such a way that it looks like water is falling from a skyscraper. Of course, for an additional fee, tourists<\/a> can swim in the pool without having to book a room.<\/p>\n

Marina Barrage – Singaporean dam<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

The most convenient way to get here is by walking along Gardens by the bay – Gardens by the bay. The dam plays an important role in the life of Singapore. It protects low-lying areas from flooding during high tides, and diverts water that spills over the city during heavy rains. Those tour<\/a>ists who are interest<\/a>ed in “how everything is done there” can look through the glass walls into the building of the pumping station. There are small fountains in front of the dam, which are especially popular with children<\/a>. Parents can relax<\/a> on elegant benches, enjoy ice cream and soft drinks.<\/p>\n

Fountain of Wealth<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

The whole East is literally obsessed with Feng Shui, and this fountain is no exception. It belongs to the largest fountains<\/a> on our plane<\/a>t. Its area reaches almost 1700 sq.m. Just like with the Merlions, there are large and small fountains. Water flows along a large ring supported by columns. It is believed that this attracts money to the city. There are only 4 columns – this is a symbol of 4 peoples and 4 religions. Let the city-state of Singapore grow rich, but tourists are no less attracted by the small fountain. It is believed that you need to put your hand into it, and go around the bowl three times clockwise – then the money will come to you in the very near future. In the evening, the fountain “sings” – its jets are illuminated, music sounds. A grand spectacle! This is where you get great photo<\/a>s.<\/p>\n

Gardens by the Bay and Garden Rhapsody Light Show<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Gardens by the Bay is also close to Marina Bay Sands. There are two of them – South<\/a> and East. In the South Garden you can see huge greenhouses created using the latest technology. One of them is the largest greenhouse in the world, and this fact is reflected in the Guinness Book of Records. More than 30 thousa<\/a>nd species of plants grow here.<\/p>\n

Among them there are the rarest species that are almost impossible to find in nature. Entering another greenhouse, you will definitely be transport<\/a>ed to the tropical highlands, see the peak, on the slopes of which orchids of all colors and various types<\/a> of ferns grow. And also admire the artificial waterfall. Those guests who wish to climb to the top can do so using an elevator.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

It is pleasant to go back down on foot, enjoying the spectacle of artificial fog that appears here every few hours, creating the necessary humidity and an impressive visual effect. And of course, supertrees, which have already been mentioned. One of them has a small restaurant where you can taste local as well as Europe<\/a>an cuisine.<\/p>\n

In the evenings, you can watch a light and music show – the so-called “Garden Rhapsody”. Sculptures also amaze the imagination of guests, some of which seem to float in the air. For example, a huge baby, whose height is about 10 m. The supports are almost invisible, and it seems that only the child's hand is touching the green lawn. Even the photo<\/a>graphs are amazing, what can we say about the feelings that you experience, standing next to such a sculpture?<\/p>\n

It is most convenient to purchase a special card to move in the indicated directions and see all the amazing sculptures located here. East Garden is a great place for walking with children. It seems that you are in a state designed specifically for small tourists<\/a>. Here you can play fun games, including water games, have a picnic on the grass, admire the views of the city and take great pictures.<\/p>\n

2 day<\/h2>\n

The second day can be started with a visit to a place that will appeal to both adults and children. This:<\/p>\n

singapore zoo<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Russians often argue whether it is humane to keep animals in zoos. In Singapore, this question simply does not arise. The zoo has been here for 40 years. It is huge – it is a real city, and everything is done in it so that the animals feel the same as in their natural environment. But there is no hunger and hunters here, so animals are born safely, grow up, multiply and live to old age. In the zoo, tourists can see hundreds of species of the inhabitants of the planet.<\/p>\n

In order to look around and decide what interests you most, you can start your tour of the zoo with a ride on a local form of transport – “tram”, painted in natural colors. Such a trip will also be convenient in rainy weather<\/a>. It is more difficult to escape from the heat, but it is also possible: the zoo has rooms where air conditioners work. It is nice to sit there in silence and coolness. In addition, there are vending machines selling soft drinks everywhere.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Animals in the zoo are settled according to the principle of ecosystems. For example, you can see those that live in the tropics, in another place the inhabitants of the savannas will be waiting for you, and so on. Rare animals list<\/a>ed in the Red Book are also presented to the attention of tourists. Here they also prosper and bring offspring. Where else, for example, will you see white rhinos or Komodo dragons?<\/p>\n

There is also a “Bird Park” and “Butterfly Park”, where winged beauties trustingly sit on people's hands. Gibbon Island<\/a> is for these amazing monkeys. Even the world's first white bear, which was born almost in the tropics, lives in the zoo. Every day he fishes for himself from an artificial reservoir and is friendly to visitors who come to admire him.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Of course, among the inhabitants of the zoo there are also predators. At the same time, here you will not see cages and aviaries in their usual sense. Many animals are separated from people only by ditches with water or natural barriers in the form of a windbreak. There are glass walls between people and the most danger<\/a>ous animals. At the Singapore Zoo, you can celebrate holidays<\/a> such as weddings or anniversaries. You can also take part in animal shows. And, of course, there are features of a “petting zoo” here. Some pets are allowed to be stroked or you will be allowed to feed them. And there is also the “Orchid Garden” and “Fragile Forest<\/a>“, where it is no longer animals, but plants that fascinate people with their beauty.<\/p>\n

The most convenient way to get to the zoo is by taxi<\/a>, especially if you come to the city with your family or friends. Buses No. 138 and 927 also go here. Take some money with you, because, in addition to souvenirs<\/a>, the zoo offers its visitors many temptations that are hard to resist, especially if you have children with you. By the way, kids under 3 years old are free. How do you, for example, offer to ride on elephants? Or try the “Breakfast in the Jungle”? The zoo is open from 8:30 am to 6:00 pm.<\/p>\n

Clarke Quay<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

You can't be in Singapore and not visit Clarke Quay, which got its name in honor of the second governor of Singapore. Sometime back in the 19th century. there was an industrial and commercial zone, but since then there have been big changes, and now it is a fashionable area, where the eyes will run wide from a huge number of shops, cafes, restaurants, nightclubs, attractions<\/a> and shows. It can be crowded here at any time of the day, but especially in the evenings. And what is especially pleasant – even in the hottest time on Clark Key – fresh cool air, thanks to special cooling units.<\/p>\n

You can come here to buy unusual gifts<\/a> for loved ones – for example, handmade souvenirs<\/a>. Here you can sit in a cafe – and you will find any one to your liking. Irish? Japanese? Chinese? English? Or maybe you want to feel yourself in Russia again and Rasputin beckons you? Each cafe has its own small area on the waterfront, decorated in the style of the country whose cuisine is offered here.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

You can even sit in a “floating” cafe or bar – that is, in an old ship, now converted to the tastes of tourists. Or go on a short trip<\/a> along the river on a yacht or a water bus – this service will always be offered to you here. Another decoration of Clar Quay is the numerous and unusual sculptures that you will find only here.<\/p>\n

Some of them are so reminiscent of living people, especially in the evening, when they are illuminated by multi-colored lights, that it is not surprising to make a mistake and talk to such a statue<\/a>. And, of course, tourists take dozens of photos<\/a> here. Not to mention the famous attractions<\/a> located<\/a> on Clark Key. For example, there is a fountain here, which can suddenly douse vacationers with jets that hit right from the ground. How can one not recall the “jokers” of Peter the Great in Peterhof?<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Or you will be offered to climb into the capsule – mind you, open, which with great speed “shoots” to a height of 60m. Munchausen's flight on the core will seem like child's play. Not surprisingly, few dare to climb into the capsule. But even to watch it is breathtaking. There is also a kind of our “Tree of Happiness” here. Lovers hang padlocks on a special net, lock them with a key, and then throw it into the water.<\/p>\n

This is done so that fate cannot separate the couple in love. Fans of more serious entertainment will also find something to their liking at Clark Key. For example, you can visit the Museum of Asian Civilizations, or take a picture at the place where a European foot first set foot on the land of Singapore. Getting to Clark Key is easy. There is a station of the same name on the purple metro line. City buses also run here. And many tourists come here through Fort Canning Park – very unusual and picturesque.<\/p>\n

3 day<\/h2>\n

The third day in Singapore will be devoted to a trip to an amazing island<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Sentosa Island<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

In fact, it only sounds so impressive – “island”. It is about 500 meters from Sigapur and it is not difficult to get here. You can even walk, such a walk will take 15-20 minutes. The most convenient way to get to the bridge is from the VivoCity shopping<\/a> center, and you can get to it, in turn, using the purple metro line. On the way to the island you will see beautiful tropical trees, original statues<\/a>. The only negative is that you have to pay a dollar to enter Sentosa.<\/p>\n

A visit to the island will be free if you use the train that departs from the same shopping<\/a> center<\/a>. The ticket costs 4 dollars. And if you don't feel sorry for the money (24 dollars), go to the magic<\/a>al island using the cable car. It is truly luxurious, Swarovski took part in its decoration. To take the cable car, you need to go up to the 15th floor of the Harbor Front Tower Two building.<\/p>\n

To better navigate and see the main attractions<\/a> of the island in a few hours, it makes sense to use the map. In many shops and entertainment centers it is distributed free of charge, you can also download a map from the Internet. To save energy, you can travel<\/a> around the island on one of the free buses. Which roads they travel<\/a> on is indicated on the map. Also on the island you will find numerous cafes, so neither adults nor children will definitely remain hungry.<\/p>\n

Tourists enjoy even just walking around Sentosa, the island resembles a beautiful garden – with bridges, fountains, flower beds. Here you will be met by the third Merlion – half-lion-half-fish. This good-natured creature, with which guests of the island like to be photo<\/a>graphed, reaches 37 m in height. If you pay a few dollars, you can go up to the observation deck and see Sentosa, so to speak, “from the head of the beast.”<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Another attraction of the island is a giant oceanarium. To get to it, you have to go underground. Several thousa<\/a>nd species of marine animals live here, including the rarest of them. You can just admire, or you can watch shows with dolphins, take pictures and even swim with them. And the most daring tourists swim next to small sharks. No one passes by the “Amusement Park<\/a>” with its numerous attractions<\/a>, and their size is impressive.<\/p>\n

There is a huge Shrek's castle<\/a>, tall “roller coasters”, several water rides. Since children want to get here most of all, discounts<\/a> on tickets are provided for them. Guests also like the big ball at the entrance to the park, it sparkles and slowly rotates. As a rule, everyone tries to take a picture with him as a keepsake.<\/p>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

Another entertainment for the daredevils: you are offered to go down the mountain path, the height of which reaches 650 meters – on a sled. Pleasure is not too expensive, but emotions go wild. And finally, a tropical park. If you are a fan of exotic butterflies and insects, this is the place for you. The ticket costs 16 dollars. Also, guests of Sentosa are entertained with the help of various illumination shows. One more piece of advice. When you go to Sentosa, don't forget your swimwear. There are some wonderful small beaches<\/a> here, and you will regret not taking the opportunity to swim.<\/p>\n

You can get from<\/a> one beach to another using a small tram. And those who want to take absolutely extraordinary photographs must cross a narrow bridge to a small island located next to Sentosa. It seems that there is very little space here, meanwhile, it is on this island that the best viewing platforms are located.<\/p>\n

It will take several hours to get around Sentosa quickly. But here you can spend the whole day and not get bored.<\/p>\n

Wonderful light show<\/h3>\n

\"What<\/a><\/p>\n

A worthy end to your stay in the city will be a visit to the light Wonder Full Show. Do not be afraid, sit right on the steps of the embankment and, together with other spectators, wait for the start, but for now enjoy the glow of the lights of Sinngapur. In order for the 13-minute spectacle to be truly enchanting, all modern possibilities have been used. Lasers, sea<\/a>rchlights and video projectors work, screens consisting of water jets are used. And, of course, what is a show without music?<\/p>\n

The show can be watched in any weather, nothing will stop them from admiring. For about 3 years, the best specialist<\/a>s in the country have been working on creating amazing effects. Many began to call the show the main attraction of Singapore.<\/p>\n

On Fridays and Saturdays, the show can be watched 3 times per evening, on other days – 2 times. The action takes place on the waterfront Event Plaza. Thus, even a short stay in Singapore will allow you to get acquainted with its main cultural values. And, of course, Singapore will not leave you indifferent. Impressions will remain forever.<\/p>\n
