Day One :

1) Go for breakfast at a local hawker centre (non air-conditioned food court), try the Roti Prata (Indian bread) with curry dip , a very popular Singaporean breakfast. YOu can have it plain or with egg. A plain Roti Prata would cost around S$0.70 (depending on the location). 


If you are coffee drinker, try the local coffee (or they call it Kopi here). YOu have a choice of black with sugar (Kopi O), with condensed milk (just Kopi) or with carnasian milk (Kopi se). It is a little on the sweet side so if you don't like it too sweet, be sure to inform the person taking your order.

2) Pick up a walking map from any of the Singapore visitors centres (if you haven't already done that when you touched down at the airport). Go for Singapore river walk which will take you about 40 mins to 3 hours depending on the route you choose. Hire a guide if necessary.


Oh, don't forget to try the bumboat ride along the river for a view of the major Singapore riverside landmarks.
 


3) After lunch, if you are still not too tired from the morning walk, head down to Orchard Road, Singapore famous shopping belt to get all the souvenir you need for your loved ones at home. Don't forget to take frequent coffee or tea break during your shopping spree so that you will enjoy it more as shopping can be a very tiring activity :)


4) In the evening, dine or chill out at Boat Quay or Clark Quay or go for a free or paid concert at the Esplanade - theatre by the bay and enjoy the rest of the evening in a relax mood.


 


Day Two :

Visit Sentosa and spend the whole day there. They are many things to see and do on this resort island, don't forget to visit it's museums if you are interested in history of Singapore.


 


Day Three :

Go for a morning walk at the Singapore Botanic Garden or take the Ethnic Walk (Chinatown walk, Little India walk or Kampong Glam walk to choose from) to explore the cultures of it's people. In the , visit the Singapore zoo and continue with the Singapore Night Safari (located next to the Singapore zoo).


 


Day Four :


Visit the Singapore science centre or Jurong Bird Park in the day. For dinner, go to  Lau Pau Sat, Singapore Festive Market to have a taste of the spread of Singapore food.


If you happened to be in Singapore on Friday, take advantage of the free admission at the Asian Civilisation Museum, Singapore Art Museum or Singapore Philatelic Museum on Friday night.

Singapore is a wonderful city to visit, often referred to as the first city in Asia an English speaking person should go to because the first language here is English, it has British heritage, is clean, safe and easy to get around.
