Singapore: Three Day Itinerary, Singapore, Singapore

Singapore is an island and city state in Maritime Southeast Asia. Ruled by England, Japan, and Malaysia before becoming an independent country in 1965, Singapore features a diverse culture. It boasts a population of nearly 6,000,000, with 43% being foreign born.

The island is broken into five districts with the Central Area or the City featuring the most popular tourist attractions in Singapore. With Grab (Singapore’s equivalent of Uber), taxis and a simple metro system, it is easy to get around Singapore.

Visitors may purchase a multiple day metro pass or simply tap their credit card at the turnstiles to come and go in the metro stations conveniently located near points of interest.

Three days is plenty of time to hit the highlights of Singapore. Many connecting flights on Singapore Airlines allow for a multiple day layover in the Lion City or Garden City as some like to call it.

There are many things to do in Singapore. Enjoy the nightlife. Shop ‘til you Drop. Taste the cuisine. Appreciate the culture. Stroll the Gardens. Take your pick…there is something for everyone!

We prefer culture and outdoors, so our three-day stay included a half day in Chinatown, a half day in Little India, about one and a half days in the Colonial District, Marina Bay and the Quays, and a few hours at the Botanic Gardens, Singapore’s first UNESCO World Heritage Site. ......
