Singapore Botanic gardens are definitely a beautiful sight to see while you are here. Established in 1860, this gorgeous 74-hectare park mesmerises all with its Swan Lake, symphony stage and themed gardens (including the National Orchid Garden).The National Orchid Garden is an orchid breeding program that began in 1928, and its three hectares have over 1000 species and 2000 hybrids. About 600 of these are on display and are the largest showcase of tropical orchids on earth. Another wonder that lies in the Botanical Gardens, is a rare patch of dense primeval rainforest, that is actual older than the gardens and home to over 300 species of vegetation, more than half of which are now considered rare in Singapore.
For some more heritage head over to Baba House, one of Singapore's best-preserved Peranakan heritage homes. It was built in the 1890’s and its marvellous restoration has been successful in attending to every one of its details.

One of the most beautiful things to see while in Singapore is the Sri Mariamman Temple, a Hindu temple paradoxically in the middle of Chinatown. It is the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore, originally built in 1823, then rebuilt in 1843. Its beautifully animated Technicolor tower above the entrance is something you honestly don’t want to miss out on.
In Singapore you will be spoilt for choice when it comes to food, but we recommend trying the food at Iggy’s. Iggy's is a great restaurant with awing food, and whose head chef Akmal Anuar delivers wonderful Italo-Japanese creations. The food here is something you don’t experience every day so really treat yourself and enjoy the unique pairings of burrata cheese paired with ginger, or soft angel hair pasta set off against crunchy sakura prawns.
