FRIDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Check in to the iconic Marina Bay Sands<\/a>. With an infinity pool, observation deck and insane views over Marina Bay, how could you go wrong?<\/p>\n

Or, if you\u2019re a sucker for great design, check out the newly opened Warehouse Hotel<\/a>. The boutique hotel was built in 1895 and has been lovingly updated to modern times, while maintaining its heritage vibe.<\/p>\n

Refuel with some of Singapore\u2019s famous street food in the colourful Malay Quarter\u2019s Haji Lane. The district\u2019s vibrant murals provide a great backdrop to photos and the area is littered with great food and bars, plus awesome music! Flytographer Kelly<\/a> suggests trying roti prata, spiced ginger tea and kebabs!<\/p>\n

Treat yourself and unwind from your flight with massages at the Banyan Tree Spa<\/a> at Marina Bay Sands. Try the Signature Master Therapist Experience, a 90-minute massage treatment tailored to your individual needs.<\/p>\n

Then, head to the Jubilee Bridge and enjoy Singapore\u2019s skyline \u2013 and perhaps the sunset reflecting off the Marina Bay Sands Hotel building. From there, you can see Singapore\u2019s famous Merlion<\/a> spouting water into the bay area and historic bumboats travelling through the water.<\/p>\n

Enjoy the rest of the evening walking around the bay towards the Helix Bridge and the unique ArtScience Museum<\/a> building and end with a nightcap at Bazin Bistro & Bar<\/a> or RISE Lounge<\/a>.<\/p>\n

SATURDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Friday was for lounging, relaxing and dining, but Saturday is for seeing Singapore\u2019s iconic sights!<\/p>\n

The most affordable and authentic way to dine is at one of the many hawker street stalls throughout the city. Start at Maxwell Food Centre, a favourite hub for locals and tourists alike. Here, you\u2019ll be greeted by seemingly endless choices at very reasonable prices. For a classic favourite, try Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice at Stalls 10 & 11. And if you\u2019re not sure what to try next, try following the crowds.<\/p>\n

Next, head to Gardens by the Bay<\/a>, conceptualized as a city in a garden. The tree-like vertical gardens of Supertree Grove provide shade during the day and a light and sound show at night. Walk the OCBC Skyway, an aerial walkway, to see the magnificent supertrees up close and to experience stunning views of the Marina Bay skyline.<\/p>\n

Embrace your inner child with a trip in Singapore\u2019s cable car<\/a> to Universal Studios Singapore<\/a> on Sentosa Island<\/a>. The theme park\u2019s seven distinctly themed zones will transport you to various times and places, such as Hollywood, New York, Ancient Egypt and the future.<\/p>\n

Next up, more local food in the Tiong Bahru district. Upbeat caf\u00e9s amidst old market stalls, charming art galleries and curio stores make this a great place to spend an idyllic afternoon. Check out the Tiong Bahru Bakery<\/a> for fresh breads, the Singapura Club<\/a> for great nasi lemak and satay, as well as Flytographer Kelly<\/a>\u2019s favourite independent bookstore, BooksActually<\/a>.<\/p>\n

After dinner, head to 1-Altitude<\/a>, the highest al fresco bar in the world, for cocktails. 360-degree views, refreshing cocktails and live music will keep the party going until the wee hours.<\/p>\n

SUNDAY<\/strong><\/p>\n

Do Sunday brunch right with the Vintage Champagne Brunch<\/a> at Colony<\/a> at the Ritz-Carlton. Unlimited upscale offerings include fresh crab, lobster, oysters, sushi and sashimi, and a salad bar, as well as more traditional brunch offerings. Plus, did we mention the unlimited vintage Mo\u00ebt & Chandon?<\/p>\n

After brunch, it\u2019s time to check out the mind-blowing Future World<\/a> exhibit at the ArtScience Museum. The exhibit expertly interlaces art and science in a collection of interactive installations. Admission times are set to ensure the best experience for all visitors.<\/p>\n

As for the rest of your Sunday? Relax and enjoy the sights and sounds of Singapore before heading home, and perhaps schedule your own Flytographer shoot<\/a> to capture the magic!<\/p>\n
