Day 1, hop on one of the city tours, easily arranged at the hotel's front desk. Best bet to see the major sights within the day. If there's anything that interests you, go back there on your own time.
- visit these places for a taste of the different cultures (Chinatown, Serangoon Little India).
- travel by public transportation, including buses and the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit). They are economical and efficient and the best way to be among the lovely people here.
- eat at the 'food courts', found in most shopping centers and the residential areas. Great selection of food from the various cultures/races and at very affordable prices. This and the item above are great ways to mingle with the local population and for a better understanding of how they live.
- Orchard Road, Marina Square for shopping.
- Boat Quay/Clarke Quay for dining and entertainment.
- Others must see include Zoological Gardens and Night Safari (highly recommended, world class), Sentosa.
Guess that's enough for 5-days? Enjoy :-)

i'm surprised no one mentioned the zoo..we have one of the best zoo in the world..tt's really worth visiting and it's good to go early so as not to miss breakfast with the orang utans..and u have to watch the animal shows..
sentosa is a must see and u can spend a day or 2 there if u really explore the island..visit the underwater world, pink dolphin lagoon, butterfly park and the siloso beach there is beautiful..stay till night for the musical fountain display..
go to east coast park for a day of cycling, roller blading or canoing fun and try one of the seafood restaurants there for our famous chilli crab..
for a real cultural experience, go to chinatown or little india and visit some of the temples and walk along the shop houses..
u can spend a whole day in orchard road if u are into shopping..
for indoors fun, u can visit the science center which is really educational and great if u have kids..
go to clark quay at night to feel the lively night scene in singapore..
it's true what they say, don't be afraid to experiment with the local dishes..u'll definitely find smthing u like..
there's so much more to singapore..have lots of fun..

yes, the usual tourisry places like orchard road, night safari, jurong birdpark, botanical gardens.
If you want to see the country side of singapore, go to Pulau Ubin.
You can take a boat there from mainland singapore. This is rustic Singapore . there are kelongs ( fisheries) there where u can get low cost and tasty seafood.
Go to Chinatown and marvel at postwar architecture. Marvel at the medley of cultures in singapore where u can see indian temples in chinatown. and vice versa.
enjoy ypurself and don't be afraid to try the local delicacies.

Adding to someone who had given your some places of interest, you may wish to include Haw Par Villa, Chinatown, Changi Village, Singapore Science Centre, Botanic Gardens, and of course also Sentosa Island. We do not have a Sentoa Island in Singapore.
You should also sample some of the local delicacies. They are very tasty.

Shopping along Orchard road, visit the night safari, visit jurong bird park, go shopping at Mustafa Centre (singapore's only 24hr shopping Centre) located within 'Little India'
Don't bother going to Sentoa Island

pass to Malaysia 2007 is in simple terms yet another pass to Malaysia marketing campaign - it particularly is virtually non-end i could say! the element is actual events to advise pass to Malaysia 2007. i could say Malaysia has all of the splendid factors of interest yet have by no ability been waiting to communicate the splendid messages and branding. Singapore's branding is a non-end attempt via the government in positioning itself. the reality in existence is that thought has a tendency to play an significant function in this international, eventhough the reality is distinctive. Malaysia has many stuff to furnish yet areas of the tourism fee-chain continuously create significant themes for the country. problems with airport cabs, touts, rogue city cabs and over-charging excursions - those are the nagging themes vacationer hates! the administrative.needs to place actual political will to do away with those themes if attracting foreigners is unquestionably the interest. I continuously could negotiate for a trip from KLCC to my hotel in Bukit Bintang for the duration of employer journeys - and is a relentless worry. What extra for a vacationer!
