Best Things to See & Do in SINGAPORE – 2 Day Stopover: Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, Supertrees

In this video of Living the Jo life, we visit Singapore to show you the main attractions that you can see during a 48-hour stopover. We started our first day at the Merlion, which is an 8.5 m tall statue with the body of a fish and head of a lion and is the symbol of Singapore. From there, we walked along the waterfront to the other side of the inlet to explore The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands and take in the amazing views from the observation deck of the Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Next stop was the ArtScience Museum, where we visited the Future World exhibit with lots of interactive installations, including the Crystal Universe, consisting of 178,000 colored LED lights. From there we headed to the nearby Gardens by the Bay, where we visited the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest exhibitions. A short stroll from there, we went to Supertree Grove, where we went up to the 22 m high OCBC Skyway with spectacular views of the supertrees, Marina Bay Sands and the Singapore Flyer. After the Skyway, we walked through the park and across the water via the Helix Bridge for a sunset walk along the Esplanade. We made it to Chijmes just after sunset for a well-deserved break and dinner. We started the following day with shopping spree along Orchard Road, where you a spoilt for choice when it comes to shopping. After some retail therapy, we caught the MRT over to the Singapore Flyer, which is one of the world’s largest Ferris wheels. The ride took just over 30 minutes and offered some amazing views over Singapore city, Marina Bay Sands and Gardens by the Bay. Next stop was Clarke Quay and Boat Quay, which are great areas to enjoy entertainment, live music and dinner at one of the many restaurants. We finished off the day with a Singapore Sling at the famous Long Bar at the iconic Raffles Hotel. Next morning, we were off to Changi Airport, where we spent a bit of time at the Jewel Shopping Center, which is connected to the three main terminals at the airport and is famous for its 40 m tall Rain Vortex, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. We had a fantastic time in Singapore, and we can highly recommend a holiday or extended stopover in this beautiful and modern Asian metropolis.
