Singapore offers a holiday experience like no other. The infrastructure in the country is one of the best. The streets are clean and safe, and the attractions range from modern allures to traditional charms. A hub for dining and shopping as well as entertainment, Singapore has much to offer. Having a plan when deciding on a short stay in the country is a must; here are some tips on how to explore Singapore in seven days.

Since you have just seven days to explore the amazing country, make sure you are well-located. Choose to stay at one of the popular five-star hotels in Singapore where you can easily visit the attractions. Some like Pan Pacific Singapore are less than 15 minutes from iconic Orchard Road and other top attractions. Once you get settled in, start your tour. A good place to begin your adventures is Orchard Road with a good bout of holiday shopping – a therapeutic option to soothe your travel-weary soul. But hold on, Orchard Road offers more than shopping and you will do good to book your stay at a Singapore hotel offering easy access to the area.

One of the best things to do if you are a curious adult or family on vacation in Singapore is to hit the art science museum. The buildings are impressive and will awe you with their designs and shapes that use not only designer talents to stand out but special lighting to create impressive illusions. From its extraordinary shape to the many interactive displays and workshops there, this is one attraction that you will not want to miss. The museum is open from 10 am to 7 pm.

An ode to the history, culture, and heritage of Singapore, the National Museum is a must if you are interested in learning more about the diversity and background of the nation. The struggles and triumphs of the people of Singapore are showcased there and are good eye-openers to how far the nation has come.

Located close to Orchard Road, the Botanical Gardens is a serene and beautiful green space. Home to a variety of tropical plants and other foliage, the gardens are good for a morning walk and communing with nature. Open from 5 am, you can choose to start your second day in Singapore with a visit to the gardens.

If you reserve day two for some fun, head over to the trampoline park, especially if you have kids. The trampoline park is for the kid within you too. The place offers dodgeball facilities, a climbing wall, and a bounce area to enjoy some exhilarating action.

Spend your afternoon relaxing at Fort Canning Park, which is an iconic landmark in Singapore. There are some lovely open spaces to enjoy as well as little critters ambling around the place. Fish in colors of the rainbow can be seen in the ponds while roosters scurry about and birds chirp in the trees.

A hop, skip, and jump from your Singapore hotel, Orchard Road is the best place for shopping. The area is home to top malls, boutiques, and markets, selling everything from designer wear to the latest tech gadgets. Catering to all sorts of shoppers, the area is a shopaholic's dream. You will find several dining options too in the area, which are ideal for savoring local delights.
