Top ItinerariesDay OneColonial District, Marina Bay & the Quays (p48)
M A stroll around this area offers visi-tors a glimpse of the colonial influ-
ence left on the city. Get museumed out at the National Museum of Singapore, the Asian Civilisations Mu seum, or the Per-anakan Museum. Take your pick – they’re all worth your time.
Chinatown & the CBD (p67)
R While the whole area has a touristy feel about it, the Sri Mariamman
Temple, Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Thian Hock Keng Temple offer genuine glimpses into everyday neighbourhood life. Head up Pinnacle@Duxton for a bird’s-eye view of the city skyline and beyond, or de-stress with super-cheap reflexology at People’s Park Complex. Either way, follow up with a pre-dinner tipple on Club St or Ann Siang Rd.
Northern & Central Singapore (p113)
N Early dinner done, catch a taxi to the fantastic Night Safari, where you
have a date with a cast of majestic and curi-ous creatures. Ride the quiet tram through the park and hop off for atmospheric walks past tigers, leopards and swooping bats.
Day TwoLittle India & Kampong Glam (p81)
M Little India will erase every pre-conceived notion of Singapore as a
sterile, OCD metropolis. Weathered tailors stitch and sew by the side of the road, and the air is thick with cumin and Bollywood soundtracks. Take in the colours and chant-ing of Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple and buy a sari at Tekka Centre.
Orchard Road (p94)
R Escape the afternoon heat in the air-conditioned comfort of Orchard
Road. This is one of the world’s most fa-mous shopping meccas, with over 20 malls peddling everything from high-end Euro flagships and discerning local boutiques, to
glossy department stores and retro, discount malls.
Colonial District, Marina Bay & the Quays (p48)
N If you’re dining at Satay by the Bay, you’re already at Gardens by the
Bay. Give yourself plenty of time to explore Singapore’s incredible new botanic gardens, including the Flower Dome and Cloud For-est conservatories. The gardens’ Supertrees
Dinner Ding Dong (p74): contempo-rary Southeast Asian knockouts.
Lunch Maxwell Road Hawker Centre (p73): cheap and cheerful street food.
Dinner Satay by the Bay (p58): breezy, bayside hawker grub.
Lunch Lagnaa Barefoot Dining (p87): a choose-your-own-spice-level adventure.

Day ThreeLittle India & Kampong Glam (p81)
M The golden-domed Sultan Mosque in Kampong Glam is the centre-
piece of Singapore’s historic Malay district. Radiating out around it is an eclectic mix of restored shophouses, sheesha-scented cafes and buzzing restaurants. Explore the area’s fascinating backstory at the re-vamped Malay Heritage Centre, housed in a former sultan’s palace.
Sentosa Island (p134)
R Cultured out, it’s time for some pure, unadulterated fun on Singa-
pore’s pleasure island, Sentosa. Tackle rides both heart-racing and sedate at movie theme park Universal Studios, or eye-up creatures great and small at the spectacular SEA Aquarium. Alterna-
tively, ride some artificial waves at Wave House or book an indoor skydive at iFly.
Sentosa Island (p134)
N Slow down the pace with evening drinks on a palm-fringed Sentosa
beach. Options include family-friendly Coastes or the more secluded Tanjong Beach Club. If you’re travelling with kids, consider catching the popular Songs of
Day FourIslands & Day Trips (p140)
M For a taste of 1950s Singapore, head to Changi to catch a bumboat
across to Pulau Ubin. Rent a bicycle and cycle the island’s peaceful, jungle-fringed roads, passing tin-shacked houses and quirky shrines, or walk along a mangrove boardwalk. There’s even a mountain-bike park with trails for varying skill levels.
Eastern Singapore (p103)
R Once you’ve finished exploring sleepy Pulau Ubin, catch a bumboat
back to Singapore. If it’s not too late, pay a visit to the moving Changi Museum and Chapel, which recounts the suffering and resilience of those who endured Sin-gapore’s Japanese occupation. If it is too late, wander the shops at Changi Village,
stopping for a beer at Changi Village Hawker Centre.
Eastern Singapore (p103)
N Come evening, swap tranquil nostalgia for neon-lit excess in
Geylang, a red-light district juxtaposed against temples, mosques and some of the best food in Singapore. Dive into action-packed Sims Ave and Geylang Rd for a very different take on Singapore street life.
Dinner Mykonos on the Bay (p137): authentic Greek on the marina.
Lunch Cicheti (p87): beautiful, bub-bling, woodfired pizzas.
Dinner No Signboard Seafood (p108): The best white pepper crab.
Lunch Pick a seafood restaurant around Pulau Ubin pier (p142).

Our WriterCristian BonettoCristian has been roaming Singapore’s famous and lesser-known corners for years, and his addiction to the city’s food, architecture and climate is yet to wane. Also the author of Lonely Planet’s Pocket Singapore, the Australian-born writer majored in English and politics at the University of Melbourne before em-barking on a career as a playwright and television scriptwriter. With a passion for cities and air miles, it was only a matter of time before he turned to travel
writing. To date, Cristian has contributed to 13 Lonely Planet titles including New York City, Italy, Denmark and Sweden. His musings have also appeared in a string of other publications including the Telegraph (UK), 7X7 (San Francisco), and Corriere del Mezzogiorno (Italy). Follow Cristian on Twitter @cristianbonetto.
Our StoryA beat-up old car, a few dollars in the pocket and a sense of adventure. In 1972 that’s all Tony and Maureen Wheeler needed for the trip of a lifetime – across Europe and Asia overland to Australia. It took several months, and at the end – broke but inspired – they sat at their kitchen table writing and stapling together their first travel guide, Across Asia on the Cheap. Within a week they’d sold 1500 copies. Lonely Planet was born.
Today, Lonely Planet has offices in Franklin, London, Melbourne, Oakland, Beijing and Delhi, with more than 600 staff and writers. We share Tony’s belief that ‘a great guidebook should do three things: inform, educate and amuse’.
