"Beautiful things come in Small packages " - I couldn't find any other Idiom, which could be more suitable for Singapore. In our 7 days stay I was amazed how a man made city can be so beautiful, economically powerful and so disciplined....it was really an inspirational city!
We had earlier planned for a 5 day stay but later on found that it was worth adding two more days....all thanks to our hosts who also where our guide to Singapore.
The Merlion is the symbol of Singapore and this can be witnessed in the marina bay area....bets time to go is the evening time....After this we witnessed the light and sound show in the marina bay area which is another feast to the eyes....with laser lights and water screens/ fountains it created a magical world ......

Singapore Zoo ( 2days) ....well I haven't seen a zoo which had so much variety to be covered.....it had everything - exotic birds & fishes, close encounters with Giraffes / elephants / monkeys, polar bears & Pandas, boat rides....a heaven for kids and equally learning experience for all!
Do not miss the Live feeding sessions, the Elephant show & Amazon fights back show.
The Gardens by the Bay is another beautiful area where people who have interest in Nature can find the varied abundance of plants and flowers. They have an inbuilt tropical rainforest with a huge waterfall...
Nearby the Gardens is the Super Tree Grove... Here you experience the magic of themed lights , relaxing on the grass....plan it sometime after 6:00 PM in the evening.....Its definitely a thing that one shouldn't miss...
We started of with the tour of the Universal studios... it takes us to a different world of movies.
It is definitely a full day experience and is best suited for kids and people who like fast and quirky rides.....
There are many more beautiful nuggets in Singapore which if time permits should be in your itinerary as well.
Tips/ suggestions for the travelers:
Last but not the least, when you are tired roaming around, you should have your dinner by the waterfront in Clark Quay and amazing place with good food and night life....

Tips/ suggestions for the travelers:

- Do always carry a bottle of water as you get dehydrated very quickly
- Approximate cost of visiting all the attractions and transportation would be around 500 - 750 SGD. Depending on how many days, what attractions.
