I don't know if it is because we had no idea what to expect or if it was just so different from anything I have seen before but WOW Singapore just amazed us on so many levels. If you are heading to Singapore anytime soon you are in for a serious treat and if your not you need to add it to your bucket list ASAP! Like I said before I left for my travels I attempted to vlog as well as a blog so I do also have a vlog now live over on the Fashion Aid YouTube channel showing you guys around the city.
When it came to flights we made sure to book them well in advance and as a result we got a pretty good deal. When booking all of our flights for our Summer trip we searched for the best deals on Sky Scanner which is an absolute lifesaver because it basically scans through all of the available flights for your chosen dates and gives you the best times, prices, etc.
Once we found the best deal we went straight to the chosen airline and booked through there just to illuminate the middle man (you don't have to do this we just did)
We flew from Amsterdam to Kuala Lumpur and Kuala Lumpur to Singapore with KLM for pretty good value but I do know the flight more than doubled in price as the months went on so do book your flights well in advance.
The Marina Bay Sands Hotel is one of the most iconic buildings in Singapore and if you have the budget I would 100% recommend you checking it out even for one night, the infinity pool alone looks worth the price. We managed to sneak up to the top floor to check out the view and it was just amazing! There is a free lazer show on every night at 8pm and I'm pretty sure there are other times also depending on the night which was pretty cool to see.
The Shoppers @ The Marina Bay Sands was definitely one of the highlights for me just because I am fashion obsessed so I was most definitely in my element! The range of shops is INSANE....even if your not fashion obsessed I would 100% recommend you checking it out!
On our first night, we went to the Gardens by the Bay at around 9.30 and WOW! We knew it was going to be amazing just because we had seen so many pictures on Instagram etc. before the trip but it really is incredible and something definitely worth visiting while you're in the city.
We did only have 2 full days to explore the city so the majority of our time was spent just walking around, exploring, etc. but overall the trip was absolutely incredible and somewhere I will return to in the near future.
When it comes to accommodation there are some AMAZING 5-star hotels in Singapore so if you don't have a limited budget you need to check out the likes of The Fullerton Bay Hotel, The Marina Bay Sands, and The Fullerton Hotel!
We are both full-time Business students so unfortunately, our budget didn't stretch too far but what we did get for our money was actually perfect and we also had the luxury of a rooftop pool.
We booked the Fragrance Hotel Riverside which was absolutely perfect for the 3 nights in the city and the rooftop pool was pretty much the highlight! We landed on around June 20th and with the roasting weather outside it was absolutely heaven to hop into after a busy day exploring the city. I have popped my Booking.com link below for €15 off your booking!
I hope this was somewhat helpful for any of you guys looking to book a trip to Singapore. I honestly couldn't recommend it enough, I definitely think it is only going to get better.
