    You know about the main Singapore tourist attractions, like the much-talked-about Gardens by the Bay and Mustafa Centre (and don’t worry, we’ve mentioned those here, too), but what about the lesser-known places of interest in Singapore? Here are 20 shopping districts, cultural neighbourhoods, hawker centres, museums, and happening Singaporean tourist spots that will satisfy the people who travel for their eyes, their stomachs, the culture, or a mix of all of these.

    Marina Bay Sands is a hotel that makes Singapore a famous tourist destination worldwide. It’s not only famous for its largest infinity pool and panorama view from the rooftop bar, but it’s also popular as a shopping mall with lots of high-luxury brands and casino properties. Surrounding also have many touristy areas such as Gardens by the Bay (GBTB), Merlion Park, Singapore Flyer, etc, so it gives easier access to enjoy as a tourist. If this is your first time in Singapore, staying in Marina Bay Sands is a must!

    GBTB is an iconic attraction in Singapore with almost 400,000 plants planted in 101 hectares of space. A must in terms of places of interest to visit in Singapore, the futuristic design is not just a decoration. The structure of GBTB is environmentally friendly, cooling the environment although it does not have an air-conditioner. Every night, there is a light show called “Garden Rhapsody”, where the supertrees outside start lighting up with lovely music from 7:45pm to 8:45pm.

    Ticket price: SGD28 for an adult, SGD15 for a child
