Singapore is a very beautiful city. Sentosa Island specially is place worth going to. Dolphin show was amazing. The musical fountain and the laser show was breathtaking.
We had also been to Night Safari and Jurong Bird Park.
It is very easy to reach places at Singapore. The maps and directions are very clear. One does not need any help. MRT network covers the complete place.
We generally use to take MRT and then bus if required to reach the destination.
We regret that we could not see the mucical fountain (Fountain of wealth) as it was closed for maintenance during that period.
We would always cherish the memories of our Singapore Trip. it no wonder is a great place to visit.

Stayed at Grand Copthorne Waterfront Hotel - Singapore, Singapore.

Location is ideal. Great World City shopping centre just across the road. The 'clubbing' night life is just across the river, 5 minutes walk. Be it city or river view the view from your room is fantastic. Cafe Brios serves a wonderful buffet. But it was the top-notch service from all hotel staff front-line & back office that was the most relaxing part of our stay.

Stayed at Raffles Hotel - Singapore, Singapore.
|
Dining at the posh Raffles Grill was excellent. Be advised: A jacket is required and no sandals are permitted. Be sure to visit the Long Bar for the famous Singapore Sling! I'd also recommend the Sampler and Long Beer.
Raffles is located near the best places to visit in Singapore including Raffles City, the Chimes, Funan Shopping Mall and the Esplanade. You could walk to most of these locations from the hotel. You could also take a pedicab, but bargain with them as they can charge higher than a taxi for the same destination.

I was very surprised by the amount of nightlife in Singapore: Clarke Quay, Mohammed Sultan Road and the discos of Orchard Road to name a few. The cover charges are a bit high, but the evening sightseeing is excellent!

Stayed at Marina Mandarin Singapore - Singapore, Singapore.
|
A couple of minutes walk away from the Marina Mandarin is Raffles Hotel. The sports bar is worth a visit for one drink, but it is expensive - personally we thought it was slightly over-rated but at least we can say we've been!
We had an excellent meal in the Blue Ginger - an Asian restaurant in Chinatown. They were recommended in the Rough Guide and frankly did not disappoint! The food was wonderful and costs pretty reasonable.
If you want a lively bar that caters for all music tastes, head to Zouk in the centre - it's huge and open til 3am.

Stayed at Fraser Place Serviced Residences Singapore - Singapore, Singapore.
|
We visited Sentosa Island, Fort Canning Park, Raffles Hotel, Chinatown, Night Safari, The British Club, the University of Chicago Singapore Campus and shopping opportunities throughout Singapore. The Long Bar at Raffles and the restaurant in Raffles on the street level provided an overall flavor for local cuisine and the famous Singapore Sling.
Robertson Walk has good dining and entertainment. Local courtesy and excellent service were hallmarks of our visit to Singapore. Very safe.

I recommend the following tours and places in Singapore. Tour of Sentosa Island and the night light show. Must try the Singapore Sling at Raffles at the Long Bar. You can book this tour with lunch locally. It's cheaper this way. Night Zoo Safari and Singapore at Night by canal Boat from Clarks Quays. Bugis Street and Chinatown for best of bargains. I suggest to go there during the day and avoid crowds and it's safer. Avoid Orchard Road shopping if you are on budget.
Mustapha Shopping Centre (Little India) for best prices on electrical and household goods. The voltage is the same as in England.

Can you see SINGAPORE in one day? It depends on your level of travel in Asia - having just 2 nites and 1 day to sightsee I chose my destinations carefully. Early a.m. I took the MRT (train system) to the Harbor stop which was about 15 minute ride in comfortable A/C underground wagon where I would connect to the cable car running into Sentosa. The ticket cost was about $1.40SD (singapore dollar) - although you are required to deposit an additional $1 as card deposit (or you could buy the $10 tourist one-day pass which allows you for 4 rides or so).
There are two choices for the cable car - all glass or regular - the additional $5SD for glass is unnecessary. The ride is short but provides for a bird's eye view of the area.
Sentosa is a beach, museum, aquarium and showcase location. You can spend most of the day there or you can stay in the many resort hotels in the island. I highly recommend the Underwater world (aquarium) with their many exhibits and a close encounter with the pink dolphins at the Dolphin Lagoon.
In the afternoon, I adventured to Chinatown by MRT for some shopping altho' if you have traveled to other asian countries - you could bypass as they offer the same type of trinkets are higher prices. The best deals are found in tailored clothing made in just a few hours.
From Chinatown, I headed to Clarke Quay (by MRT)for a river cruise ($17SD) to view the many buildings and the famous water spouting lion. Here you can find several dozen restaurants, pubs, clubs for entertainment ... Stop at "Indochine" for a nice atmosphere. A day in Singapore can not be completed unless you visit Raffles Hotel and enjoy a delightful Singapore Sling at the Long Bar ($16SD) - there are many restaurant on the Raffles campus or you can go across the street to the Chijmes complex for more restaurants/club scene.

Loved Singapore and am going back. The Asian Civilizations Museum was the best museum I've been to! The Coriander Leaf restaurant at Boat Quay was the best meal on my whole trip. If you flew with Singapore Air, I recommend the SIA hop on bus. Good for a general overview of the city and gets you out to the Botanic garden which is quite out of the way. The Night Safari was fantastic. Go early. You can eat there. Long q's.

Go to Craig Quay and Riverside Point for evening restaurants and bars. Plenty of variety both for food choice and ambience. The Underwater World at Sentosa Park is a must for all ages.
