3 days in Singapore: gardens and hawker food
Last verified
A sample short stay built around hawker centre meals, air-conditioned afternoons and cooler evenings outdoors. Singapore is warm and humid all year, so plan for rain showers.
3 days in Singapore. Good all year. A Goyondo sample itinerary. Save it, or ask your AI assistant to plan your own Goyondo trip from it.
Day 1
- Gardens by the Bay
- Stay into the evening to see the Supertree Grove lit up.
- Lau Pa Sat
- Satay stalls set up on the street outside in the evening.
Day 2
- Sultan Mosque
- The centre of Kampong Glam. Go in the morning, check visiting times around prayers and dress modestly.
- National Gallery Singapore
- Southeast Asian art in the former Supreme Court and City Hall.
- Maxwell Food Centre
- Go a little before or after the lunch rush for shorter queues.
- Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
- A large Chinatown temple a short walk from Maxwell. Dress modestly.
Day 3
- Tiong Bahru Market
- Go for breakfast. Hawker stalls are upstairs and a wet market is downstairs, and many stalls sell out or close by early afternoon.
- Orchard Road shopping
- Start at ION Orchard and walk the malls along the road, indoors through the hottest part of the day.
- Singapore Botanic Gardens
- A UNESCO World Heritage garden that is pleasant as the heat fades. The National Orchid Garden inside closes earlier, so see it first.
