Singapore attractions

As you walk through Little India in Singapore, a large structure topped with minarets and an onion-domed cupola might catch your eye. This impressive building, completed in 1910, is the Abdul Gafoor Mosque (Masjid Abdul Gafoor), a mosque originally built for the community of South Indian Muslim merchants in the area.

The Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall is a colonial-style villa in Singapore that played a crucial role in the Xinhai Revolution in the early 20th century. Today, the hall is a museum commemorating Sun Yat Sen, the founding father of the Republic of China. It serves to highlight the influence Dr. Sun’s revolutionary activities had on Singapore, as well as Singapore's own contributions. Ideal for history fans, this two-story museum is divided into five galleries and features around 400 artifacts, including paintings, statues, photographs, books, and calligraphy works. Highlights include a bronze wall mural spanning some 60 meters depicting Singapore's history over a 100-year period, from the 1840s to the 1940s. The bronze statues in the hall’s gardens are also particularly impressive. The Sun Yat Sen Nanyang Memorial Hall is included in the Singapore ultimate attractions pass, which allows you to explore the city’s top attractions at your own pace with a pass that is valid for two, three, or five consecutive days.

The National Orchid Garden is the main attraction inside the Singapore Botanic Gardens, with more than 1,000 orchid species and thousands of hybrids displayed across outdoor gardens and climate-controlled houses. Walk through orchid collections organized by color and habitat, see rare hybrids developed in Singapore, and visit the garden’s high-elevation Sembcorp Cool House filled with species that normally grow in tropical mountain climates.

Perched on the 56th story of the Marina Bay Sands complex, the SkyPark Observation Deck lets non-hotel guests enjoy views from this Singapore landmark. It’s particularly dazzling in the warm night air, when Singapore’s skyline sparkles, Supertree Grove looks glitzy in pink neon, and the Esplanade’s twin durians are in full space-age mode.
