Top 10 Compelling Reasons to Experience Singapore

I must confess, prior to relocating to Singapore, I had limited knowledge of this small nation.

A friend residing there provided insight regarding suitable neighborhoods for accommodation and described the overall safety, among other things; however, that was primarily it.

I moved to Singapore to conduct research for my academic work at Cambridge, and I became so engrossed in the academic demands that I did not dedicate ample attention to the city itself.

It was only after a couple of days that I began to feel acclimated. This was likely influenced by the stress from end-of-term examinations and a looming assignment deadline just 48 hours after my arrival in Singapore, compounded by severe jetlag.

Once I submitted my assignment and was finally able to venture outside to fully appreciate the city, I can assert that I immediately developed an affection for Singapore.

Singapore has that effect on people.

The city offers a plethora of experiences, and residing there for nearly six months only cemented this perception further.

Without further delay, here are ten compelling reasons to visit Singapore.

1.) The Food

There exists an abundance of variety available, making it nearly impossible to grow weary of the delectable options throughout Singapore.

The affordability further enhances the experience.

2.) The Nightlife is Exceptional

Truly, one can commence their evening with cocktails at the world’s tallest infinity pool, transition to bars offering breathtaking city vistas, and conclude the night with an array of clubs or nighttime entertainment options.

3.) A Lush Green City

Despite its impressive skyscrapers, Singapore is remarkably green.

Venturing to destinations such as MacRitchie Nature Trail or the Flower Dome provides a glimpse into the city’s vibrant ecosystem.

4.) Quality Beaches

For example, consider Lazarus Island, which is home to stunning beaches.

5.) A More Rustic Part of Singapore – Ubin Island

On this island, wildlife is abundant, including roaming pigs and swinging monkeys, and the preferred modes of transportation are foot or rented bicycles.

6.) Diverse Shopping Options

Although I am not an avid shopper, there are moments when even non-shoppers like myself feel the impulse to acquire a new camera lens or swim shorts due to unmet New Year’s resolutions.

The point is, everything you desire to purchase is readily accessible in Singapore.

7.) Singapore is an Exceptional Hub for Exploring Asia

This aspect is particularly beneficial for long-term travel, as Singapore serves as an excellent launchpad to various Asian locales, such as Ho Chi Minh or Bali.

The airport connections are efficient, making travel remarkably convenient.

8.) Efficient Public Transport

Additionally, taxi fares are reasonably priced, allowing for flexible transportation choices.

9.) Universal Studios is Here and Truly Exceptional!

I will candidly share that I acquired a six-month pass during my stay and visited almost every available weekend.

10.) Singapore is Exceptionally Safe

You could easily walk home alone at 3 AM without concern.

In fact, during my entire stay, I do not recall encountering a police officer, even though the police station was conveniently located next to my nearest train station.
