Singapore is perhaps one of the most Insta-worthy countries in the world, from its shocking architecture, opulent restaurants, and super lush greenery there is no shortage of eye-catching photo spots. In no particular order here are a few of my favorites:
Fort Canning
Fort Canning Park is home to many historical landmarks but is most recognized for this spiral staircase. Located on the park's northern border, you can find this spot by putting “Fort Canning Park Tree Tunnel” into google maps; it is nearest to the Dhoby Ghaut MRT station.

The Helix Bridge at Marina Bay
The pedestrian bridge on Marina Bay can be accessed via Youth Olympic park or Marina Bay Sands shopping Center, near the Arts and Science Museum. Google map here.
Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve
Sungei is so far North that you can literally see Malaysia( and get charged for phone roaming), I recommend splurging for a taxi to get here. In addition to expansive wildlife, this nature reserve features awesome water bridges and these cool little… nest(?) structures.

Potato Head / Chinatown
Potato head is a Singapore staple; its unique architecture, bespoke decor, and best and vibey rooftop all lead to it being one of the well-known dining destinations. Located in the heart of Chinatown there is plenty to see and drink nearby.


ATLAS Bar
Have you heard of the Batman building? Well, that's where ATLAS is! The impressive grandeur of this DECO inspired space combined with a thoughtful collection of handcrafted cocktails lands this bar #16 on the World's 50 Best Bars list. If you are looking for more than just a picture and want the full experience, I recommend booking the monthly Sunday brunch.

Water Lily Pond at Gardens by the Bay
Finding this rock took a little wandering; I now know you can put “ Water Lily Pond” into google or find it on one of the Gardens by the Bay area maps. I was able to make the jump onto this rock but be prepared to walk in the water if you’re not feeling like a track star.

Marina Bay Sands Infinity Pool
MBS boasts the largest infinity pool in the world, 57 stories up! Currently, only hotel guests are able to visit the pool; check out my MBS stay here

National Orchid Gardens
Singapore’s Botanical gardens put all others to shame, they are so expansive and well-curatedbought that you could wander for hours and still not see everything. The “Golden Arches” pictured below are located in the National Orchid Garden, a UNESCO World Heritage site. Tickets to enter this section are $10SGD for non-residents and can be bough on the spot or in advance via Headout.

Park Royal on Pickering
One of a kind, awe-inspiring architecture that brings lush greenery to the heart of city life. PR is a One-of-a-kind dream, bring your drone to capture all the magic. Day passes are photographers available. Check out my stay here.

Super Trees at Gardens by the Bay
There is so much to see within Gardens By the Bay. Buy a one-day pass or get in as many times as you like with a “Friends of the Gardens” membership. There are free light shows daily at 745 & 845.
Palau Ubin
A Singapore Island located 10 minutes North by boat via Changi Ferry Terminal($8SGD). Between biking, hiking & kayaking there is plenty to do on Ubin!. This viewpoint is located on top of Puaka Hill.
Gardens by the Bay Bike Trail
The GBB bike trail is directly North of the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Stop by to see this stunning design but just be careful not to get hit by cyclist or roller bladders.

Raffles Hotel
Opulence & luxury are synonymous with Raffles Hotel. A roof that has housed countless royals throughout time, there is a never-ending supply of photo spots throughout Raffles, and many of them are accessible to non-guests as well! Check my stay here!
Tanjong Beach Club
Giving serious vacation vibes! Book a bed and enjoy the sunset session at TBC!

Wheelock Place
Next to ION Orchard, take the red line to Orchard MRT.

The Vagabond Hotel & Whiskey Library
Adorned with eclectic art from the floor to the top of it 6 golden trees, The Vagabond Hotel is one of Singapore’s most appreciated locations. Marriott Bonvoy members should make use of their extensive perks and Whiskey lovers should come check out one of the largest collections of rare whiskies in Asia.
The National Gallery
A building actually deserving of the honor to house Singapore’s finest pieces of art and culture. After perusing the latest exhibit, check out Smoke and Mirrors Bar, featuring a gorgeous view of MBS or The Great Mischief for brunch!

The MRT. Trains + Stations! AM weekends.
Any of them! All of them. Trains are most empty early AM on the weekends or midday during the week. These pictures were unplanned when I happened to match the empty seats.
Ice Cream Museum
This place is sweeeet! Come have your ice cream and eat it too! Located in Dempsey, tickets are sold here - reservations recommended.

Monochrome Cafe
Singapore’s only 2d cafe serving 3D vibes! Small but fun, with 2 stories of quirky decor.
