Explore the Best of Singapore in a Day
How to Spend a Day in Singapore
It can be a hassle sometimes to plan a holiday – we know how it feels. After all, you come to relax, and have fun, and there’s certainly nothing fun about agonising over schedules, and deciding which sites to hit. Well, leave it to us. Beautiful, adventurous, and just a tad unconventional, here are some of the best places in town that make up the ultimate one-day trip in Singapore, prepared by Destination Insights, your personal travel insider.
1. Gardens by the Bay
| Address | 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018953 |
| Phone Number |
+65 6420 6848 |
| Opening Hours |
Daily, 5:00am to 2:00am |
A 101-hectare site containing Mother Nature’s best offerings, Gardens by the Bay is a national gem of greenhouses, and urban parks. Every spot in this massive garden is picturesque, from the Flower Dome to the iconic Skyway, which was used as a catwalk in 2014. And what better time to take in the refreshing scenery than in the morning when you can still smell the dew drops?

2. Singapore Food Trail
| Address | 30 Raffles Avenue, #01-09/12 Singapore Flyer, Singapore 039803 |
| Phone Number |
+65 6420 6848 |
| Opening Hours |
Sunday to Thursday: 10:30am to 10:30pm Friday and Saturday: 10:30am to 11:30pm |
When it’s time for a mid-day meal, step into Singapore in the 1960s at Singapore Food Trail, where you’ll find all sorts of familiar local favourites such as ice balls, chicken satays, and pork noodles. Select from 17 vendors, each one worth its salt, or better yet, order a dish from each stall to share if you’re dining with a large group.

3. ArtScience Museum

| Phone Number |
+65 6688 8888 |
| Opening Hours |
Daily, 10:00am to 7:00pm |
Now for the cultural part of the tour – a visit to the ArtScience Museum, a lotus flower-shaped structure sitting next to The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands. As its name suggests, it is a museum that delves into the science of art, and the art of science through interactive exhibitions, and stunning showcases. If you’re feeling a little peckish, it has an in-house café that incorporates 3D printing and laser cutting technology into the dining experience.

4. Nox
| Address | 269 Beach Road, Singapore 199546 |
| Phone Number |
+65 6298 0708 |
| Opening Hours |
Monday to Friday: 6:00pm to 12:00am Saturday: 5:00pm to 11:00pm Sunday: 5:00pm to 11:00pm |
As the sun goes down, why not grab an evening bite at a restaurant that’s literally as dark as the night sky? Put on your adventure shoes, and take a step out of your comfort zone, and into Nox, where diners get to chow down on some grade A European nosh served by sightless waiters in absolute darkness. Nyctophobic participants may feel a little uneasy, but you’ll undoubtedly walk away with new, unforgettable memories.

5. The Projector
| Address | 6001 Beach Road, #05-00 Golden Mile Tower, Singapore 199589 |

| Opening Hours |
Tuesday to Friday: 6:30pm to 11:30pm Saturday and Sunday: 1:00pm to 11:30pm Closed on Mondays |
Having deprived your eyes of vision for a good hour, this might be a good time to treat them to a beautiful picture at a retro-style cinema. An indie venture that seeks to revive the movie-going culture in Singapore, The Projector screens films (classic, obscure, foreign, local, animated, and non-animated) that commercial cinemas don’t cater to. It’s the ultimate way to unwind, and end the day.
