BEST MONTHS TO VISIT

When’s the best time to visit Singapore? This totally depends on the type of traveller that you are. Here are Tribe’s very own favourite times of the year and why.

You probably heard it by now, that eating is one of the highlights of visiting Singapore. In a food obsessed nation, almost everyone swears by a few must-eats (“die die must try” – in local speak).

Singapore Discovery Centre

Interactive museum and gallery.

Singapore Discovery Centre is a great place to learn about the history and future of Singapore. The edutainment centre has been described as an art gallery, science museum, and outdoor play area all in one. It’s a great half day out for younger kids with plenty of intuitive and interactive displays, and just about enough to keep adults entertained as well.

There are plenty of different packages to choose from. These include S$10 for adults and S$6 for children, which includes admission to the centre, a bus tour of the Singapore Military Institute, and a short 3D movie. It is in the same neighbourhood as the Army Museum of Singapore meaning it’s possible to combine both attractions in a day.

Singapore Discovery Centre - one of the highlights of 10 Best Singapore Theme Parks and Rides (Read all about Singapore here)

As some of the interactive attractions are designed to be experienced as part of a group, it’s worth joining one of Singapore Discovery Centre’s guided tours – offered every hour between 10.30am and 4.30pm. The first section takes you on a journey through the history of Singapore and what makes the city and the people the way they are today.

There’s a fun Singlish test, an exquisite quilt displaying the heritage and harmony of the island, and a short ‘So Singapore’ video exploring the quirks and behaviours that make up Singaporean personalities. In the main hall you’ll find a giant colourful dome that offers a kaleidoscope of icons from around the city, with sounds that will be familiar to those who live here and fun for those who don’t to try and guess what they are!

More interactive displays include one where you can report from a TV studio on Singapore’s significant events, be part of a crisis team who are trying to prevent a disaster striking the city, and even simulate the role of a commander and go to battle in the immersive Battlefield Command simulation game – complete with headset and computer controls.

There’s plenty more outside Singapore Discovery Centre’s main exhibition hall. With one of the largest screens in the city, iWERKS show both 2D and 3D latest releases, but they tend to focus on movies for a younger audience. Older kids are more likely to enjoy the 4D simulation rides or battling each other at the outdoor paintball arena.

For calmer fun that suits the whole family, try the pedalos on the large lake fringing the centre. Or take a bus tour of Singapore’s Military Academy – though it’ll probably only please those with an interest in the armed forces. Feeling peckish from running around the centre? A food court and small selection of fast food restaurants are available.

You can find Singapore Discovery Centre on Upper Jurong Road, about 10 minutes’ walk from Joo Koon MRT Station, or 30 minutes’ drive from the city.

Location: 510 Upper Jurong Road, Singapore 638365, Singapore

Suggested Route

Suggested itinerary for inspiration.

Your preferences design the real journey. We're ready to create a wonderful Singapore and Bali tour for you.

Welcome to Singapore! Arrive at what is consistently voted the world's best airport — Changi. After the usually-outstanding, smooth-sailing experience through the airport, we waste no time getting to grips with the city on our Night Scenes of Singapore tour.

After the pleasant 25-minute ride, we think it's time for a first-night treat. We would bring you to the stylish Lantern Rooftop Bar at the Fullerton Hotel, where you could appreciate panoramic views of the waterfront and cityscape. It's also your first chance to sample the world-famous eponymous cocktail, the Singapore Sling. Sip on the drink, take the edge off the journey, enjoy the lavish surroundings, and look forward to the rest of the trip.

Spend a day exploring Singapore's three major ethnic enclaves, and in turn, appreciate the story of how Singapore grew to become the fascinating cultural melting pot it is today.

Set off to Chinatown , a glittering blend of old and new, where traditional medicinal halls and goldsmiths sit alongside hip hotels and restaurants. Continue to Kampong Glam , the traditionally Malay ethnic enclave in Singapore and the city state's oldest urban quarter. Finally, head to Little India and discover this uniquely vibrant and colorful district. Wrap up the day in this area, where all of Singapore's unique cultures meet and blend in a beguiling mosaic of wet shops, food courts, and shopping areas.

Today, We'll try to understand the hawker culture of Singapore — community dining in multicultural urban contexts throughout Singapore. Hawkers prepare a variety of food for people who dine and mingle at "hawker centers" or "community dining rooms". There, people from diverse backgrounds gather and share breakfast, lunch, or dinner. Singapore's street food tradition is now part of UNESCO's list of Intangible Cultural Heritage.

Kampong Glam, known as the home of Haji Lane — a trendy street lined with chic cafés and bars and an excellent spot for Persian rugs, brightly colored textiles, and handmade perfumes. This morning, we would take you on a journey through time to find out more about its inhabitants' histories, including visiting one of the last remaining traditional barbers in modern Singapore.  

After looking at some examples in the area, and under the guidance of a watchful master, you would have the chance to create your own masterpieces. You can even take them home as a souvenir.

Today, we get away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and go back in time with a journey to Singapore's rustic Pulau Ubin Island , a perfect example of the city's history.

Begin with a short journey to the nearby ferry terminal, board a wooden bumboat bound for the island of Pulau Ubin, and wave goodbye to the hustle and bustle of central Singapore. On arrival at the quaint island's port, swap your boat for a bicycle seat, and begin your cycling adventure!

Take in impressive 360° panoramic views of Singapore's urbanity as well as the lush greenery of Mount Faber and Sentosa onboard the Singapore Cable Car to Sentosa Island .

Explore the marine realm of S.E.A. Aquarium at Resorts World Sentosa, one of the world's largest aquariums. It is home to more than 100,000 marine animals of over 1,000 species, across 45 different habitats, each one as fascinating as the next. It's a marine life experience you won't forget.

Enjoy leisurely free time until your pick-up time at your hotel lobby. Our representative will give you a convenient, hassle-free, private transfer in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle to Singapore Changi International Airport.

Upon arrival at Ngurah Rai International Airport, you will be greeted by our Bali guide and driver who'll transfer you directly to Ubud, where you will spend the first 3 nights.

Get a hands-on time with one of the best examples of Balinese spirituality in the village of Sebatu, about an hour outside of South Bali. Follow your guide's lead to explore these structures and learn about how they still play an important role in the lives of pious locals.

After an illuminating guided wander, travel uphill and deeper into the village to visit the site of the area's holy water. There, your guide will help you put on a traditional Balinese sarong and lead you in how to pray to the gods. With each offering having a different color of distinct significance, learn about how each hue represents a different prayer. After the procession, dip into the holy water — considered an important cleansing ritual. Wrap up your experience with lunch at a local restaurant.

Enjoy a morning of leisure. Or you may consider booking a yoga class at nearby yoga studio and trying to be active (we can handle that).

In the afternoon, we'll take you to a local kitchen to learn traditional Balinese cooking methods before trying your hand at crafting authentic local flavors from scratch. From the chef, learn interesting Balinese cooking techniques and the benefits of spices that they use. Feast on your own cooked meal in the middle of an organic garden.

We'll pick you up and transfer you to Uluwatu for visits to some true Bali highlights.

Firstly, to Jatiluwih Rice Terraces for exotic landscape views. Now a UNESCO Cultural Heritage Site, the Jatiluwih Rice Terraces comprise over 600 hectares of rice fields that follow the flowing topography of the Batukaru mountain range.

Then, we would visit Alas Kedaton — home to one of Bali's famed monkey forests. Featuring towering nutmeg trees, unique to this area and sacred to the Balinese people.

Lastly on to Mengwi, we visit the Former Royal Temple, Pura Taman Ayung , built in 1634 and arguably one of the most beautiful temples on the island. Upon arrival, check in to your hotel and enjoy rest of the day relaxing.

Pick up from your hotel is at 4 PM for sunset cocktails at La Laguna. With its beachfront locale and vintage décor showcasing shabby-island-chic, this place is the new hot spot for sunset drinks, attracting expat crowds and visitors alike.

Then, the trendy METIS Lounge hosts "Aperochic" in the evening, where a top-notch sound system and the best local and international DJs create a chic atmosphere for aperitifs with friends.

By this time, we'll be craving some more food and head to the upper level of Mama San.

In the late evening, it's champagnes o'clock at Red Carpet Champagne Bar, boasting Indonesia's largest selection of Champagne. This Seminyak icon is cozy and intimate, with a sexy splash of course. As one might expect of a Champagne bar, there is an exclusive feel, yet the atmosphere remains light, playful, and casually fun.

In the afternoon, we would explore Pura Luhur , the illustrious temple of Uluwatu perched on the edge of rocky cliffs. Built in the 11th century, the temple provides a glimpse into ancient life in this enchanting seaside setting. Enjoy a stunning view of the Indian Ocean from 70 meters above sea level, and spend time exploring the scenery and befriending the monkeys that inhabit the temple. Hold on tightly to your hat and sunglasses, as these monkeys are notorious for their cheekiness and stealing abilities!

Before a fresh seafood dinner on the soft sands of Jimbaran, enjoy a mesmerizing Kecak Fire Dance performance on the beach.

The day is yours for a last dose of leisurely relaxation before our guide meets you for your airport transfer to catch your flight home.
