A family adventure awaits in Singapore

Explore the endless joys of Sentosa Island

Spend an entire day at Sentosa Island, a family playground brimming with adventure. Relax on golden beaches, wander serene nature trails, or seek thrills with attractions like the Skyline Luge. Don’t miss The Palawan, where kids (and adults) can splash through water playgrounds at Splash Tribe, enjoy high-speed fun on Hyperdrive, or play a competitive round of mini golf.

Feasting as a family

Food unites families in Singapore. Make your way to a local hawker centre – buzzing open-air food courts that delight every palate. Singapore’s renowned hawker centres offer an informal, affordable, and delicious way for families to dine together while sampling local favourites Singaporean dishes like the famous Chicken Rice, Chilli Crab, smoky satay skewers, and flavour-packed Hokkien Mee noodles.

Drift along the Singapore River on a bumboat  

Take a step back in time on a traditional bumboat ride along the picturesque Singapore River. Sit back as the gentle waters guide you past historic quays and glistening skyscrapers, weaving together stories of Singapore’s past and present. This scenic cruise is a wonderful way to explore the city’s charm as a family.

Embrace nature in Singapore’s green spaces

Whether your family loves light walks or exciting nature trails, Singapore’s green spaces won’t disappoint. Wander through the dreamy Singapore Botanic Gardens—a UNESCO World Heritage Site—or marvel at the futuristic Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, especially during their magnificent evening light shows. For a wilder adventure, head to MacRitchie Nature Reserve. Its rainforest trails offer a chance to spot monkeys and other wildlife, making it a thrilling escape into nature.

Pedal through Singapore’s hidden gems

If your family enjoys cycling, Singapore’s bike paths are a fantastic way to explore its sights at a leisurely pace. Travel along the waterfront or, for an unforgettable throwback, head to Pulau Ubin. This rustic island feels like stepping back into a simpler time, with its kampong houses and windy paths evoking Singapore as it was 60 years ago.

Spark curiosity with hands-on experiences

Singapore is packed with attractions that inspire creativity and imagination, making it a fantastic destination for curious minds of all ages. Start at the iconic ArtScience Museum, where the immersive Future World exhibition invites families to interact with colourful digital art, responsive light installations, and playful displays that blur the lines between technology and creativity. It's an experience that encourages children (and adults!) to touch, explore, and discover together.

For something a little sweeter, head to Mr Bucket Chocolaterie Factory. Here, families can learn how chocolate is made from bean to bar, enjoy hands-on workshops, and, of course, sample plenty of delicious treats along the way. It's a fun way to combine learning with a well-earned reward. If you're travelling with younger children, the Children's Museum Singapore remains a fantastic choice, while the colourful Museum of Ice Cream continues to delight visitors with interactive exhibits and unlimited sweet treats. Together, these attractions prove that Singapore's museums are anything but ordinary.

Singapore through the seasons: why there’s always something to celebrate

10 August 2026

Singapore may be compact, but its calendar is packed with celebrations that can transform an already memorable city break into something even more special. Throughout the year, its neighbourhoods are illuminated by festival lights, the Marina Bay skyline becomes the backdrop for fireworks and motor racing, and streets fill with parades, markets, music, and food. Many events reflect Singapore’s multicultural identity, giving visitors the chance to experience Chinese, Malay, Indian, and international traditions within the same city. You don’t necessarily need to plan your entire holiday around one event, either. Time your visit well, and Singapore’s annual celebrations can add colour, flavour, and a real sense of occasion to the attractions, restaurants, and neighbourhoods already on your itinerary.

Why Portugal is the perfect destination for every type of traveller

Some destinations ask you to choose between a city break and a beach holiday, culture and nature, or relaxation and adventure. Portugal makes it surprisingly easy to experience them all.

Add a mild climate, warm hospitality, and a distinctive regional food scene, and it is easy to understand why so many people return to discover a different side of the country. Whether you are planning your first visit or looking for fresh inspiration, there is a version of Portugal to suit almost every kind of holiday.
