It will not be an exaggeration to claim that Singapore is a playground that only the rich can afford. Though small the city has wealth in abundance. The culture in Singapore is not just of luxurious shopping malls and hotels but also has a fine chain of dining restaurants. Singapore has a very fascinating history and people from various ethnicities live here in harmony. It has some of the best public transit systems of the world and is well connected and hassle free. Once you become familiar of the entire geography of Singapore, zipping around in a bus is what I recommend!! English is widely spoken here and hence you will not have a problem communicating with the locals. The only thing that you should keep in mind is that Singapore is not a budget vacationing hotspot. The city is known to have some of the best

Marina Bay Sands
This is considered to be one of the most luxurious hotels in the world. The Marina Bay Sands is truly a modern construction marvel with a state of the art shopping mall within itself, which offer various worldwide luxury brands. There is an iconic canal that runs right through the mall. The most talked about part of Marina Bay Sands is the viewing deck and it’s never ending infinity pool. The sad part being, to use the Infinity Pool, you need to be a guest at the hotel which definitely pinch your pockets. So, if you have a lot of money to splurge and have fun, you must try it at least once in a life time. There are several roof top restaurants on this one of a kind viewing deck where you can munch on to some snacks or even grab a coffee while viewing the clear and picturesque skyline of Singapore.
Singapore flyer
If the viewing deck at Marina Bay sands does not impress you hop on to the Singapore flyer. Termed as the largest observation wheel ever, you have the option of selecting from the wide range of packages to be pampered while you gaze at the Singapore skyline. The Singapore flyer is not just about Singapore but also gives you a view of the spice islands of Indonesia and the straits of Johor of Malaysia. Each Singapore journey lasts 30 minutes and is served from early morning till late night. You therefore, have an option of experiencing the beautiful skyline either at dawn or dusk. I personally recommend you to hop on to the Singapore flyer in the night when Singapore is colourfully lit with bright lights and the view is sure to be etched onto your memory forever!!
