What to do in Singapore

Our top recommendations if YOU only have 3 evenings in Singapore

Night Safari
We strongly recommend the Night Safari as it is the perfect place after spending a long day listening to Hepatology and Scientific Updates to go for a walk, get some fresh air and seeing wild animals in the moon light.

It’s open every evening from 7.15pm to 12.00 midnight with dining and retail outlets open at 5.30pm.  A tram ride is included in your ticket price and takes you in comfort around the Safari as you meander past several species of deer, capybaras, tapirs and others roaming next to the tram.

The Night Safari is located at one of Singapore’s water catchment areas amidst old growth jungle.  It is lit to resemble a bright moon lit night in a jungle.  More dangerous wildlife such as tigers, wolves, rhinoceros and many more, are separated from visitors by natural barriers so that you are mere meters from them.

Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is opened till 9.00PM each evening.  You can stroll around the Gardens by the Bay and watch the light show amongst the Super Trees for free.  The show changes each month and in August 2025, being Singapore’s 60th National Day, you will be treated to Songs of Singapore.

Some of the attractions in Gardens by the Bay such as the Cloud Forest Dome and the Flower Dome require tickets and are opened till 9.00pm.

Food Tour
The Singapore Food ranges from relatively cheap to downright expensive. From 3 Michelin stars to Hawkers listed in Bib Gourmand.

Here are some places you might like to check out:

Newton Food Centre
The Newton Food Centre is a Hawker Centre and is within a 5 minute walk from the Sheraton Towers Hotel – the Conference Hotel. It was the Hawker Centre featured in the movie: Crazy Rich Asians. There’s plenty of seafood and BBQ stalls and is opened till 10.00pm

Lau Pa Sat
Lau Pa Sat literally means “Old Market” and was the oldest market in Singapore. Its beautiful Victorian Style pavilion has been lovingly refurbished and repurposed to become a hawker centre. One section of Lau Pa Sat is called Satay Street and hosts several satay stalls with outdoor seating. The smell of Satay is simply, irresistible. Simply hop on the MRT and get off at Raffles Place and walk to Lau Pa Sat.

Liang Seah Street Food
A pedestrian street every Friday to Sunday, 7.00pm – 12. Midnight, it is the Hotpot/Steamboat Centre of Singapore where you can order ChungQing Fish, Hot Pot Soups with or without Mala. You will also find traditional Chinese desserts here.

It’s near the Bugis MRT station.

Raffles Hotel
Joseph Conrad, Somerset Maugham, James A Michener, just to name a few illustrious writers who have stayed in this Grand Old Hotel, now beautifully renovated without losing a whit of its charm. Enjoy a beer or a Gin and Tonic at the Writers’ Bar or the Long Bar. Select from several fine dining restaurants housed in the hotel including the Tiffin Room, the Butcher’s Block and Yi by Jereme Leung.

Celavi at Marina Bay Sands
Located on the Surf Board of Marina Bay Sands, Celavi has everything. The Skybar with that VIEW over the Singapore harbour and skyline and a fine dining restaurant. And then you can dance the night away in the Club Lounge.

Please note that Reservations are required.

To get there, simply hop off at the Bayfront MRT station.

Come early or stay an extra day to visit:

Universal Studios, Sentosa Island
Be transported by adrenaline-pumping rides, interactive shows and a wide variety of exciting attractions based on the blockbuster movies and television series you know and love so well.
