Singapore has so much to see, taste and experience that you should find a hotel with loyalty rewards to benefit from during all your other visits. Do not even attempt to cover Singapore in one trip. You will miss the details and rush past the depth in the experiences. Leaving mysteries to uncover in Singapore is not up to you.
Along with loyalty programs a hotel that has several locations will allow you to dig deeper into each area without transportation. Walking to destinations put you in direct contact with the districts, shops, restaurants and locals. Stay in Kampong Glam and take in the Sultan Mosque, Malay Heritage Centre, clothing boutiques and casual eateries with spicy treats.
The Downtown Core Central Region includes several districts. On Stamford Road, you will find the best hotel Singapore has to offer. Take in Saint Andrews Cathedral and capital buildings with easy access to the Singapore Mass Rapid Transit system to whisk you off in any direction. Cheap, fast, and convenient.
Holland Village or District 10 has botanical gardens and the vast open areas around the MacRitchie Reservoir. This open area in a dense city space makes for expensive real estate values the most affluent can afford. You will find a flourishing nightlife along the Singapore River.
Club Street and neighbourhoods in Chinatown will tickle al your sense. The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, Maxwell food court, and Chinatown street market will keep you entertained, full, and happy at al hours of the day. Districts are close enough to walk between and avoid sitting in traffic. A great way to recall all the locations and sites is to keep a GPS tracker on you to match all your pictures to.
Another way to spot locations, get excellent pictures, or plan a hopping route is to get on the Singapore cable car. It is a three-station gondola lift system that will take you from Mount faber to the resort island of Harbour Front. You can us a VW campervan taxi, river taxi, or private hire to get you to your destinations that are far apart. Most cabbies speak multiple languages as Singapore see tens of millions of annual visitors.
Alexandra Park is a 50+ year old military estate with black and white houses of past British officers. For architecture shutterbugs, enjoy the varieties of styles. Medway Park has more colonial buildings and the historic walkways continue from there.
A bicycle tour may be your speed but with both hands on the controls how can you capture photos? Visiting the gardens by the bay will lead you to the iconic views of Singapore. Ride up to the top of Marina Bay Sands and enter another world of new familiarity. You have seen these sites but now you are in them.
I mentioned the millions of visitors to Singapore. The government is very familiar with what you are looking for and has organized information and guidance for your stay. They want you to come back as well. All of Singapore welcomes you.
