Singapore Unanchor Travel Guide - 3 Fun-Filled Days on this Tiny Island

An Itinerary with True Singaporean Flavor

Singapore is more than just a country of shopping and good food. Apart from our world renowned cleanliness, we also have fantastic tropical weather all year round, many different cultures converging in one place, as well as world class entertainment that will no doubt sweep you off your feet.

If that's not enough to whet your appetite, let this local boy (born and bred here for the last 28 years) tempt you further with where to find the best and most affordable local foods and souvenirs, what the hidden gems tourists will love to visit but are seldom told about, and other little tips and tricks to get around efficiently and economically. If you've been here, there's more I can tell you about and if you haven't, be prepared to see all the authentic Singapore highlights through a local's eye.

Highlights

This itinerary is targeted at the fun-loving visitor who's looking to pack his/her 3 days here so as to maximise the time spent and see as much as possible. I'd recommend this itinerary for:

- Ages 20-35
- Folks with enough energy to walk around most of the time as the main mode of exploration and take public transport from place to place
- Mid-range budgets, as we will be paying entrance fees for must see attractions and there will be no skimping on good quality food
- The active and adventurous who like to try out new experiences
- Night owls who enjoy partying and bustling night life

Of course if you're coming with family or prefer an early quiet night, this itinerary will still aid in your trip planning as well. Just pick the activities from each day to match your schedule and convenience level (there's plenty of shopping and sight-seeing included). This itinerary is flexible and filled with things to choose from; it's the perfect guide for a satisfying holiday.

The most famous shopping strip in Singapore is of course Orchard Road. But apart from the famous malls like Ion and Takashimaya, where else to go? Where to find affordable and tasty food, as well as cheap souvenirs along a touristy shopping stretch? Do you know we have quite a few unique local brands you can't find anywhere else? Also, shopping extends far beyond Orchard Road; there are hidden gems in the Bugis area! The answers to all these questions are included right here in the itinerary.

Singapore's 2 most famous cultural hubs are situated at Little India and Chinatown. Let me tell you where to find the best and most affordable Indian and Chinese food; as well as what to see in a short time (since there are so many temples around). Furthermore, you do not need to travel too far into the heartlands for authentic hawker fare; neither do you need to succumb to exorbitant prices for the normally cheap and humble hawker food at tourist traps. Chinatown has some of the best and cheapest hawker food, including a chicken rice haunt that locals can't get enough of. I'll show you how to get there!

Resorts World Sentosa and Marina Bay Sands are our 2 latest world class entertainment hubs. I've got the write up on Gardens by the Bay, Universal Studios, and even the Marine Life Park in Sentosa (recently opened on 7 Dec 2012!). Find out more on what else to do on the sunny beaches of Sentosa (and what to avoid!), as well as the nightly party haunts the locals can't get enough of. Let me show you the hottest spots to see and be seen!

This is only the beginning! Other highlights include:

- The Art Science Museum and Gardens by the Bay
- Sentosa and VivoCity
- The Esplanade and Merlion Park
- The Night Safari
- Bugis Village, Haji Lane
- Night life - Clark Quay, Zouk
- Hawker food, seafood and alternatives
- Other tips on transportation, lodging and reference websites
