In this VAGABOND SHORT episode, I'll take you on a fascinating journey to Singapore, providing my top recommendations for the must-see and must-do experiences in this vibrant Asian city-state. 1. Marina Bay Sands Skypark Experience breathtaking views from the Marina Bay Sands Skypark, 57 floors up. Marvel at the Singapore skyline and the infinity pool, described as "swimming at the edge of the world." The Skypark, likened to a spaceship atop three skyscrapers, offers a unique perspective of the city and sea. 2. Gardens by the Bay: Wander through Gardens by the Bay, a futuristic nature park with towering Supertrees and neon lights. Explore the Flower Dome's global blooms and the Cloud Forest with its massive indoor waterfall, offering a surreal, sci-fi-like experience. 3. Chinatown: Step into Chinatown, where the past and present of Singapore collide. Experience the vibrant street food scene, traditional shophouses alongside modern architecture, and cultural treasures. Visit the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple for a blend of spirituality and grandeur. 4. Sentosa Island: Discover Sentosa Island, Singapore's ultimate playground. From relaxing on beautiful beaches like Palawan and Tanjong Beach to experiencing thrills at Universal Studios and The Skyline Luge, Sentosa offers non-stop fun. It's a perfect blend of relaxation, adventure, and nightlife, complete with dining and entertainment options. 5. Singapore Flyer: Soar above the city in the Singapore Flyer, a giant Ferris wheel taller than the London Eye. Enjoy breathtaking views of landmarks like Marina Bay Sands, the Singapore River, and even distant sights of Malaysia and Indonesia. The Flyer offers a serene 30-minute ride, with an option for a luxurious dinner experience in the sky. 6. The National Gallery Singapore: Visit the National Gallery Singapore, combining historical elegance with modern art. It houses Southeast Asia's largest modern art collection within two colonial-era buildings. Explore a blend of tradition and innovation, with interactive installations and art that narrates Singapore's cultural evolution. 7. Night Safari: Experience the unique Night Safari at Singapore Zoo. It's an after-dark adventure where you encounter nocturnal animals in their natural habitat. The subtle lighting and immersive environment create a mysterious and intimate wildlife experience, offering a glimpse into the nocturnal side of nature. Get ready to explore and immerse yourself in Singapore's vibrant culture and natural beauty. If you want to hear more about Singapore, I've done two regular episodes from when I was there all the way back in 2016. 22. Couchsurfing in an Expensive City 23.
