Things to do in Singapore

Singapore packs a great deal into a small island. Around Marina Bay the skyline is crowned by Marina Bay Sands, whose rooftop deck looks over the harbour and the Supertrees of Gardens by the Bay, where two vast glass conservatories hold a cool-season flower garden and a misty indoor mountain with its own waterfall.

Beyond the bay, old bumboats still carry visitors along the Singapore River past Boat Quay and Clarke Quay, cable cars swing from Mount Faber across the harbour to Sentosa island, and in the north the Night Safari lets you watch tigers, tapirs and fishing cats in the hours when they are most awake.
