Pat's Singapore Guide

Singapore
I spent a long weekend in Singapore in late March 2024. I can definitely see the draw for why people live in Singapore. Such a clean and modern city. Expensive though!

Marina Bay

This place is just spectacular. Beautiful architecture and just lovely to spend a day in this area eating and shopping.

Boat Quay

Pronounced boat "key". A place to grab a beer and sit along the water. I'm not much of a nightlife-goer, but my friend and I grabbed a beer along the water one afternoon. Was a nice place to chill and escape the heat.

Botanic Gardens

I'm a sucker for spending an hour or so walking around a botanical garden. Singapore's doesn't disappoint.

Gardens by the Bay

This place is mind-blowing.

Spectra ( Light and Water show)

Actually quite an impressive, free light and water show (15 min). Most cities that put on something like this end up being underwhelming. Just sit along the water and enjoy the music, lights, and water effects. Consider getting there early if you want to get a good spot to sit in. I believe they've got one round at 8pm and one at 9pm every night.
