📍IT'S WANDERLUST WEDNESDAY!📍
This weeks destination... Singapore!
Singapore packs a surprisingly massive number of attractions: verdant parks, world-class zoos, luxurious hotels, historical structures, and deliciously cheap eats, all in a compact area.
Here's a couple of reasons to add Singapore to your travel list:
🧴Cleanliness
Another great reason for visiting Singapore is that it is one of the cleanest cities in the world. Thanks to rules about spitting and littering, Singapore is free of unpleasant smells or unsightly litter. Though some may accuse Singapore of being rather clinical, we think its clean streets are a real plus.
🍤Hawker centres
Singapore is full of hundreds of hawker centres where you can get a delicious meal for under £10. A hawker centre is similar to a food mall court except most of them are significantly larger. Hawkers like Newton Food Circus and Maxwell Hawker Centre have dozens of offerings ranging from fresh seafood to laksa as well as fresh fruit and local style desserts.
🧉Bars
Singapore has a proven record for the best (albeit expensive) bars in Asia. When the World’s Best 50 Bars list was released last year, Singapore was the top contender in Asia with three bars on the list. Speciality cocktail speakeasy 28HKS earned the top spot on the list of Asia’s Top 50 Bars with Manhattan Bar, Operation Dagger and Jigger & Pony all also in the top 10 of the Asia list.
👜Orchard Road
It’s hard to believe that this street was once lined with orchards, but today it is the number one place to go to shop until you drop. With nearly two dozen malls lining the two kilometres between Orchard MRT and Somerset MRT, you can wander the malls and shop for various designer goods. This is a great activity if the weather is poor because the malls are connected by an underground tunnel network.
The list goes on...
So in conclusion, Singapore is a great option for a week away or for a couple of days stop over on your way to Asia or Oz. And with flights starting from as low as £650 it's good choice for your wallet too.💵
