Tours and Excursions
Edit ThisOrchard Roads, Boat Quay, Little India, Chinatown, Singapore Botanic Gardens, Singapore Million Dollar Duck Race (The), Singapore Zoological Gardens, Singapore Discovery Centre, Sentosa and many others.
Singapore Botanic Gardens is one of the main attractions that you should not miss. The gardens have one of the best plant collections, especially palms. If you are a orchid lover then visit the National Orchid Garden which showcases the orchid from cultivar to native orchids. The lastest attraction is the tropical mist house which has a collection of plants from the montain forests in South-east Asia and also the VIP orchid collection.
If you are keen to explore the Plant kingdom, then you should travel back in time into the Evolution Garden which brings you a journey from the fossil age to the present. It is very educational for the kids.
Sunday will be a good time to have a pinic on the beautiful lawn of the Palm Valley; just pack your pinic basket and enjoy an outdoor jazz or local performance.
Meanwhile, the garden is undergoing a major facelift and a lot of surprises await you in the Garden City.
Also one place not to miss in singapore is Sentosa island. At least for the laser fountain show in the evenings which is of free admission.

Kampong Glam Walking Tour
Edit ThisKampong Glam is so called because the gelam tree - a relative of the eucalyptus - used to grow profusely in this area.

So it's a good place to see examples of early Singapore shophouse architecture.
Today, Singapore's Malays continue to converge at Kampong Glam because the Sultan's Mosque - Singapore's largest mosque - is located here.
The Sultan's Mosque has a more..
