Home to Singapore's most recognisable icon — the 8.6-metre Merlion, a mythical half-lion, half-fish statue spouting water into Marina Bay. Its name blends 'singa' (lion) and 'pura' (city) in Sanskrit. Fun fact: the statue was hidden from the bay for 28 years by the Esplanade Bridge built in front of it, until it was relocated to its current spot in 2002.

Singapore's only UNESCO World Heritage Site — a 158-year-old tropical garden spanning 82 hectares at the edge of Orchard Road, free to enter. Fun fact: the National Orchid Garden here holds the world's largest display of tropical orchids, and Singapore's national flower, the Vanda Miss Joaquim, was the world's first hybrid orchid, discovered here in 1893.

Singapore's most vibrant heritage district, packed with colourful shophouses, hawker centres, and temples including the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, housing a relic of the Buddha in a 900-pound gold stupa. Fun fact: Chinatown also contains Singapore's oldest Hindu temple, Sri Mariamman Temple (1827) — a Hindu temple at the heart of a Chinese neighbourhood, perfectly capturing Singapore's multicultural identity.

A dazzling neighbourhood bursting with colour, spice aromas, garland shops, sari boutiques, and some of Singapore's best curry restaurants, centred on the Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple.

Singapore's legendary 2.2-kilometre shopping boulevard lined with over 20 malls, luxury boutiques, and countless restaurants — one of Asia's premier retail destinations.

Singapore's premier resort island 500 metres off the southern coast, home to Universal Studios Singapore, beaches, cable cars, golf courses, and 14 hotels — drawing up to 25 million visitors a year.

One of the world's largest observation wheels at 165 metres tall, with 28 air-conditioned capsules offering 360° views across Marina Bay and on clear days as far as Malaysia and Indonesia. Fun fact: when it opened in 2008 it was the world's tallest Ferris wheel — and its rotation was reversed from clockwise to counter-clockwise after feng shui masters warned it was drawing wealth away from Singapore.

Singapore's historic Malay-Muslim quarter, centred on the magnificent Sultan Mosque with its golden dome, surrounded by streets lined with batik boutiques, perfume shops, and artisan goods.
