Three Days In Singapore For First Timers
Visitors to Singapore with a long weekend to explore can enjoy a little bit of everything that this amazing island city has to offer. A three-day trip to Singapore is the perfect length of time to see the highlights and a few hidden gems. To help you plan, we’ve put together a three-day itinerary for your quick trip to Singapore. We hope these ideas provide a jumping-off point for your adventures. Our sample itinerary for three days in Singapore includes the following: 
National Gallery Singapore After a few hours at the Gardens, pop over to the National Gallery Singapore. Home to the world’s largest collections of Singaporean and Southeast Asian modern art, this gallery is ideal for art lovers and culture buffs of all kinds. The buildings housing the collections are themselves of historic and artistic importance as well, having been converted from their former roles as Supreme Court and City Hall. Some of the featured exhibits at the National Gallery Singapore include “Law of the Land” (which highlights their constitutional documents), “Between Declarations and Dreams” (post-1900 art) and “Outbound” (a unique exhibit re-imagining transitional spaces in the museum as works of art). The museum also offers a number of rotating exhibits on relevant topics, so be sure to consult the museum website prior to your visit to see what’s on. 
CÉ LA VI Rooftop Bar End your day sipping some cocktails at this trendy rooftop bar. CÉ LA VI features a wide selection of top brews, wine, and luxe cocktails (including the world-famous Singapore Sling, done in authentic local fashion). Come enjoy VIP admission to their lounge and marvel at the sights of the glittering city below. You’ll also be able to see the Gardens by the Bay in the distance, providing a new perspective on the lush vegetation you strolled around earlier. 
Bike Rentals Next, you’ll want to enjoy a bit of time pedaling around this beautiful island. Snag a bike rental and enjoy the lush greenery of Sentosa, marveling at everything from expansive beaches to impressive flora and more. Your rental is good for an hour, so you can get a representative experience without having to worry about parking the bike somewhere. It’s also home to a number of popular attractions that you can zip past including an amusement park, a gondola system, cafés, and the Festive Walk, an open-air pavilion with plenty to enjoy. Just remember to wear a hat, sunglasses, and slather on the sunscreen. Siloso Beach After you’ve returned the bike, end your day with a leisurely few hours spent at Siloso Beach. Featuring just about a little bit of everything, Siloso Beach is a wide sandy swathe hosting beach volleyball, water sports, and places to swim and sunbathe, plus loads of shopping and dining options in the immediate and adjacent areas. If you’re looking to up the adventure a bit, check out the Mega Zip Express. Ascend up to 75 meters in the air then swoosh down over the Imbiah Jungle and Siloso beach at speeds of up to 60kph. See the gorgeous Sentosa Island from a whole new perspective.
