Looking to experience Singapore’s unique art, heritage, culture and nature? Let us help you with a specially-themed itinerary for your visit.

A melting pot of East meets West, history and modernity, nature and urban landscapes, Singapore is a city of contrasts. If you are considering visiting the city-state, here is a curated 4-day itinerary that lets you experience the breadth and depth of Singapore’s culture — and its little pockets of nature. 

Start your Singapore sojourn on Day One by revisiting its colonial heritage. 

Looking at the buzzing Singapore cityscape, it is hard to imagine Singapore as anything but a gleaming modern city. But the island city had humble beginnings as a British colony in the 19th century. A great place to learn about a pivotal part of Singapore's history is Fort Canning, which bore witness to Singapore's historical milestones. 

The hill served as the headquarters of the Far East Command Centre and British Army Barracks. It was here that Singapore surrendered to the Japanese on 15 February 1942.

Sign up for the Battlebox Story of Singapore Tour to gain an insight into the days leading up to the surrender, complete with wax figures of the British army depicting the trying days during this period. 

Follow this educational outing with a Walk Back in Time tour to trace the steps of Singapore's founders and pioneers. This guided tour starts at the Singapore River, where you begin your journey from the colonial days, the days of turmoil, war, development, and progress. The 4-hour walking tour covers Marina Bay, the Civic District and historical monuments, CHIJMES, St. Andrew's Cathedral and ends at Raffles Hotel.
