7-Days Itinerary in Singapore

7-Days Itinerary in Singapore

Martin Chairul
This is the ultimate 7-day itinerary for when you visit Singapore. Focused on Jewel, Orchard, Somerset, Bugis, Marina Bay Sands, Clark Quay, ChinaTown, Sentosa. There will be a lot of walking under the hot weather (cause its Singapore, so make sure to check the weather report often) So i tried to keep this itinerary simple yet enjoyable. Which means you get to walk around to enjoy Singapore and still have some energy left, will not drain your energy or end up with leg pain. Family friendly!! Includes no less than: - 6 food places (cafe + restaurant) - 6 attractions - 6 shopping ares/mall + other alternative places so feel free to adjust my itinerary as you like.

MRT MAP

Day 1:

I recommend picking a flight that arrives in the morning/afternoon so you will have more time to explore Jewel.

~ Morning view of Jewel

Jewel Changi Airport
@martinchairul
Once you've arrive at Terminal 3, Use the SkyTrain to go to Jewel (Terminal 2) You get to see the water vortex in close up! If you plan on staying till late night, the light and sound show is available daily between 7.30pm and 11.30pm, at hourly intervals. (ofc you can also watch the light and sound show before your departure from Singapore..that is if your flight is late at night.) Don't forget to keep up with the promotions and discounts from their website.

~ Night view of Jewel

- CHECK IN TO YOUR HOTEL -

Kubo Woodfired Kitchen
@martinchairul
NO RICE!! This is a popular Filipino restaurant. Plating is really aesthetic, filipino food with a twist + prices are really reasonable. If you dont know what to order, you can always ask the staff there for recommendations ! You get to see the chefs in action if you sit at the open counter area.

Singapore Flyer
@martinchairul

Day 2:

Bugis Street
@martinchairul
From experiences, there are a lot of cheap and affordable items here! and a ton of Buy 2 get 1 free items. After leaving the MRT, go up and go straight (for the mall) and go right for the street shops. Tip: often go to the street shops because of the cheap items.

Meomi Cat Cafe
@martinchairul

If you dislike cats, head to orchard road and enjoy some cake at Lady M. They serve one of the best crepe cakes to ever exist!! 

~ Signature Mille Crêpes | Top tier. I Love it!! Will definitely come back for more !!

Lady M @ Orchard Central
@martinchairul
BEST CREPEE CAKESSS!! really soft and savory! Best place to enjoy your afternoon. Although the staff weren't very friendly, its still a place worth to visit. They will hand you a paper that requires you to scan it to ordering your cake & drinks. Then once you've placed your order, you have to wait for it. !! PREPARE A CREDIT CARD FOR PAYMENT. The last time i went there, they were not accepting cash as payment. follow the google maps directions, after you turn right, go up the escalator inside the building (It is located inside the building)

Then after finishing your cakes, go to orchard road to have a night stroll, shop and just enjoy your night!

~ The famous ice cream that cost $1 (chocolate with bread)

Orchard Road
@martinchairul
explore the mall and dont forget to try the ice cream there!! There is a popular ice cream among tourist and the locals there for only 1-1.50 SG Dollar! just walk along the orchard road outside of takashimaya, there should be a few uncles there selling the ice cream. (ice cream in bread/waffle. your choice)

Day 3:

Sentosa Island
@martinchairul
Spend a day at a place with great scenery and provides many things to do here! The Sentosa beach is the best place for you to relax and splash around in the water. But of course, there are other alternatives such as going on the skyline, waterpark, golf clubbing, etc.

Marina Bay Sands Singapore
@martinchairul
Walk around MBS and enjoy the view. There is also a spectra light show here. Starts at 7:45 PM and 8:45 PM just like gardens by the bay. Both crowded so decide which one you want to go to. so you will be able to get the best views.

- Lunch/Dinner -

Black Tap Craft Burgers & Beers
@martinchairul
serve one of the best burgers and crazy milkshakes. Prices are reasonable but dont forget to make a reservation because they are always packed with people. Can be seen when entering the south entrance of the shoppers at MBS. Staff are friendly.

or if you want a cheaper option, you can go to the foodcourt at MBS.

Lau Pa Sat
@martinchairul
They sell Halal food here too! (make sure you check for the Halal label) Recommended to come here before 12:00 PM or 2:00 PM because it is gets very crowded at night. To get here (by MRT): Go down from the station (Raffles Place/Downtown, both works) Then from the MRT walk for about 10 minutes following the direction provided when leaving the station.

Asian Civilisations Museum
@martinchairul

Haw Par Villa
@martinchairul
Another culture-like museum but leaning more into "Hell's place" but it is quite old so some statues need repainting. Parents would usually bring their kids here to show them the types of punishment they can get in hell. (can give ur child nightmares, be careful) also be careful of the graphic nature of the displays. Recommend to bring a Umbrella as it is a outdoor attraction & DO NOT GO AT NIGHT (it can get a bit spooky at night)

and many more!! make sure the places you pick will not take too much of your time as you might miss your flight if it does!! You can also switch up the itinerary a bit so you can explore some of these malls instead of going to a place that does not catch your interest.

Feel free to switch up the itinerary to your liking! Remember to check the opening hours and any applicable fees for the attractions you plan to visit. Enjoy your trip to Singapore :D
