What to do in Singapore
Buy cheap and good quality technology

Due to its proximity to giants such as Japan or South Korea and being one of the busiest commercial ports in the world makes technological products at a really cheap price. in Singapore you can buy Samsung, IPhone and Mac electronic products or last generation cameras at prices much cheaper than in our countries of origin.
Meet Singapore from the heavens
A city like Singapore must be known from the heavens. For this, the ideal place is the Skyline of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. After paying 20 usd for the entrance you can hallucinate with the views of all of Singapore. Another option would be to visit the The Pinnacle eSky Bar in Duxton Skybridge.
Discover Marina Bay and the Merlion of Singapore
Marina Bay is known as the area of the promenade that is in the commercial area of the city. In Marina Bay you will find the famous fountain and symbol of the city, the Merlion or half-lion half-lion figure. The best thing to do is to visit at night so that you can see the light shows that are projected and the ultra modern background of the city with its many skyscrapers.
Visit the Garden by the Bay Park
The Garden by the Bay Park is the most futuristic park in the city and an example of the modernity to which Singapore aspires. In the park we can find the famous artificial trees that are illuminated at night and that perform photosynthesis.
Visit Chinatown
The majority of the population is ethnically of Chinese origin. Historically they have always concentrated in the area of Chinatown, where we can find the typical bazaars and enjoy the rich Chinese cuisine.
Visit Little India
In Singapore we can also find a small piece of India. In this area the Hindi community living in Singapore has been concentrated. Apart from being able to enjoy the typical Indian cuisine, it also highlights the Sri Veerama Kaliamman, the most important Hindu Temple in the city.
Visit the Great Mosque of the Sultan
Located in the Arab or Muslim area of Singapore, the Great Mosque of the Sultan is one of the great attractions of the city.
Visit the beaches of Sentosa
Singapore really is a small archipelago being one of the most important islands of Sentosa Island. Sentosa is famous for being the quintessential beach area of Singapore.
Witness the Singapore GP of Formula 1
Singapore hosts one of the most important events on the calendar of the Formula 1 Championship, the Formula 1 Singapore Airlines Grand Prix with an urban circuit and with the incentive of being at night and traveling the main arteries of the city. If you are a motor lover attending the competition is one of the best activities to do in Singapore.
Stroll through Southern Ridge
Right in the upper part of the city, in what are called the southern cliffs or Southern Ridge you can do one of the most amazing walks you've ever done in a city. Through walkways and hanging bridges you can walk between treetops and tropical forest. An authentic jewel of nature and example of the concept of modernity and clean city that pretends to be Singapore.
Food in Singapore
As in the rest of Southeast Asian countries, Singapore's food is especially enjoyed in its street stalls. In Singapore, many of these street stalls are located in the famous Hawkers Center (Foods Courts) or set of restaurants with a common eating area. These Hawkers Centers are one of the emblems of the gastronomy and culture of the country because they can be tasted any of the most typical dishes of their cuisine (especially Chinese - Cantonese and Malay). The best thing about these Hawkers Centers are their low prices.

Maxwell Food Center (Chinatown area - MRT Chinatown)
Lau Pa Sat Food Center (financial zone - MRT Raffles Place)
Makasuntra Glutons Bay (Harbor area - MRT Esplanade)
