How to Spend a 24 Hour Layover in Singapore

 Singapore is often a transit point and one could never ask for a better place than this to roam about till the next flight. If you are sure of a layover in Singapore and have 24 hours on your hands, don't miss out on the opportunity to experience whatever possible during this period of time. Here are a few points as to how to spend your 24-hour layover here.

Brunch in Singapore

Once you've arrived, stretch away to release the stiffness of your limbs and take a taxi or a bus to get to your next destination. Before you explore too much, you'll soon crave something to eat. The journey might have taken its toll and now you need to refuel. Common Man Roasters is one of the best places to try a great brunch with coffee and a relaxing vibe.
The coffee here is special and made using a custom-made machine. There are also varieties of coffees to choose from. Select your meal for the day from an extensive menu where only the freshest ingredients are being used to prepare the food. Take a bite off your dish and it'll feel like pure bliss after a long flight to Singapore.

Try a hop on hop off tour

Singapore is an island city nation and consists of just 278 square miles, this means that the highlights of the place can be easily explored even in a short period of time. The hop on hop off tours is easy to take. Find the right bus and it'll take you to all the main attractions. You could just explore whatever time permits and get back in time for the next flight with no hassle at all. You can look up events and festivals in Singapore on blog sites such as My Singapore Travel and perhaps make it in time for a cultural display as well.

Time for some shopping

Now that you are in Singapore, leaving without shopping is definitely not done! You've got to visit Orchard Road and check out the many malls that are available here. There are so many local and international brands to choose from that you'll never get bored even if it's just window shopping.

Taste the local cuisine

Catching a taste of the local cuisine is a must as well. There are a few street hawkers who prepare little local snacks. Make a stop and grab an ice-cream sandwich or some chicken rice Singaporean style! Exploring local flavours – check.

Discover Gardens by the Bay

This is one of the most iconic attractions in Singapore and is definitely unmissable. The garden has been categorised into various sections. The Flower Dome is said to be the largest greenhouse in the entire world. Enter and you'll be filled with awe at the sheer number of plant life that thrives here.
Next is the OCBC Skyway, if you are not afraid of heights that is! The sky bridge is 22 meters above land and offers extensive views of the gardens. The experience is awe-inspiring.
The Cloud Forest offers the most magical experience. You will get the chance to see rare plants while tufts of white mist float around hiding and revealing colourful flowers. It's a little cooler here, so you might want to have a cardigan with you. A picture by the waterfall is an absolute must.

Changi Airport

If you've still got some time remaining, why not head back to the airport and see what marvels it has to offer. From world-class shopping to entertainment options and man-made works of art combined with nature. You also embark on a culinary journey here with a host of restaurants focusing on local and international cuisine. You could simply experience Singapore in one place!
