Granted, the Lion City may be one of the smallest cities in the world but there's no doubt that this island is an exciting place to be. Why? Well, it’s home to beautiful gardens, impressive architecture and iconic attractions that top every tourist’s bucket list – even locals who are still discovering their very own backyard.

You know the usual suspects: Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and Sentosa. But if you scratch beneath the surface, you’ll find dozens of things to do and see – you just need to know where to look. 

Not sure where to start? You've come to the right place. Our Time Out Do List not only takes you to the world’s longest elevated infinity pool and first safari park for nocturnal animals, but also to forested nature reserves and offshore islands to strike that city-nature balance, as well as hawker centres for some of the best (and cheap) local food to refuel. Heck, we’ll even take you to hell and back via Haw Par Villa, the world's first museum dedicated to the ten courts of hell.

And if you still have some energy to burn, check out the best things to do in Singapore this week and this weekend.
