How I spent 1 day in Singapore

If you’re trying to crush all of Singapore’s iconic sights in a single day, trust me—it’s totally possible and sooo worth it! Let me spill the tea on my crazy-fun 24 hours zipping around the Lion City.

Our adventure kicked off at The Fullerton Hotel Singapore (1 Fullerton Square). This place has major classic vibes, with rooms that are super clean and give you ah-mazing views of Marina Bay or the river. Bonus: comfy beds and capsule coffee machines for that morning boost! 💁♂️ Some facilities like the gym and pool are cute but a bit on the cozy side. And if you’re bougie about service or modern touches, guests have some notes for improvement. Still, it’s a legit base right in the city center.

Next up: Merlion Park (1 Fullerton Rd, Singapore 049213) and the legendary Merlion statue! Open all day, every day, so you can get that mandatory tourist selfie, rain or shine. 🌊🦁 We strolled along the waterfront, feeling the city energy and catching Insta-worthy shots of Marina Bay Sands and the skyline.

For peak futuristic feels, we hit Supertree Observatory at Gardens by the Bay. The vibe here is unreal—the iconic tree-shaped structures legit make you feel like you’ve teleported into another world. The light show at night? Next level. 🤯

Gardens by the Bay itself (same address) is a must! Open daily 9am–9pm. Stroll through the tropical greenery, snap photos by the waterfall in Cloud Forest, and just soak up the tropical aesthetic.

We wrapped things up marveling at Marina Bay Sands (10 Bayfront Ave, Singapore 018956). Even if you’re just browsing the luxe mall or chilling by the bay, it’s the spot to take in Singapore’s city lights after dark. ✨

Hot tip: Wear breathable clothes and have your Trip.com app handy for bookings and tickets, so you can skip lines and max out the fun!

Honestly, Singapore in a day is a whirlwind—but the skyline, the food, and the vibes totally hit different. Would I do it again? Absolutely!
