How to spend top weekend in Singapore City - ideas on extraordinary attractions and sites

Colorful amusement parks, comfortable beaches, internationally famous hotels and restaurants – what else can Singapore offer to its guests? Even if you visit Singapore during a transit flight and have to spend several hours in Changi Airport waiting for departure, you can still have some great time. If the waiting interval between the flights is more than five hours, all clients of the airport can sign up for a unique service – a free excursion to the city that covers all main landmarks of Singapore. Transit passengers can select from several tour routes. They can visit the most interesting and authentic districts of the city-state or can attend a shorter excursion and see the most famous architectural landmarks in less than two hours.

If it’s not the first time you visit Singapore and you know picturesque Chinatown and Little India like the back of your hand, it’s time to try some extreme entertainment. Virtually every amusement park offers thrilling rides for the bravest guests, but the legendary Tiger Sky Tower takes pride of place. The height of the tower is 130 meters, and there is a large cabin for up to 72 people. The cabin reaches the top of the tower and then makes several circles. While on top, you will be able to see the city-state in detail and feel the splash of adrenaline because of the significant height.

When you familiarize yourself with all outstanding landmarks of the city, it’s high time to start searching for the “unluckiest” building in Singapore. That’s an unofficial name that locals gave to a modern skyscraper located not far from Bobby Fabrics. The high-rise building looks ordinary at a glance, with an unusual triangle shape being its only difference. However, Feng Shui experts claim that such a shape of the building brings bad luck. Many locals hurried to change the place of living when the construction works ended. Those, who don’t follow Feng Shui rules, continue admiring the wonderful example of modern architecture.

The Singapore Gems Building jewelry manufacturer is one more interesting place that draws the attention of thousands of travelers. Even if you don’t plan to buy new jewelry pieces, it’s still worth to visit the factory and attend an incredibly interesting excursion. Singapore Gems Building has a large exhibition hall where visitors will see true masterpieces of jewelry art. Amazing pictures made of semi precious stones, unusual jade figurines, skillfully made vases, unique necklaces and rings that you will never see in any other shop in the world – these are just some of the items exhibited.

A walk in Flea market promises to be no less interesting. The majority of travelers prefer to pass the market by when they see chaotically installed rails with old clothes. If you decide to forget about squeamishness and look behind the rails, you are likely to find many valuable antique items, beautiful old paintings, and interesting souvenirs.

If you are already well-aware of all popular restaurants in Singapore and want something new, head to a clinic to dine. C Clinic is the name of one of the most unusual restaurants in the city. As you can guess from the name, it’s a hospital themed restaurant. Large medical lamps, wheelchairs instead of ordinary chairs and hospital beds instead of sofas – these are just some surprises that await you in the restaurant. Prepare to find wine served in real IV drips, spirits – in syringes, and the score will look like a receipt from a doctor.
