15-Day Singapore Itinerary? Yeah, that’s a lot of time for a city-state smaller than Los Angeles, but trust me—this place packs a punch. You’ll be zipping from futuristic skylines to jungle boardwalks faster than you can say “laksa.” I’ve done this trip, gotten lost in Chinatown, sweated through my shirt in Sentosa, and cried happy tears eating hawker chicken rice at midnight. This guide breaks it down like we’re on WhatsApp and I’m giving you the lowdown—costs, chaos, and all.
Day 1: Arrival & Marina Bay Sands
Kick off your 15-Day Singapore Itinerary with a bang at Marina Bay Sands. That rooftop infinity pool? Yup, it’s real. I almost dropped my phone trying to snap the skyline. After check-in, stroll the promenade, watch the Spectra light show, and grab some chili crab by the water. Tip: Book a room with city views—trust me, it’s worth it for those 2 a.m. skyline selfies.
Day 2: Gardens by the Bay & Supertree Grove
Gardens by the Bay looks like it was designed by aliens with a passion for plants. The Supertree Grove lights up like a rave at night and yes, you will feel like you’re in a sci-fi dream. I lost my hat to a gust of wind on the OCBC Skyway—don’t be me. Pro tip: Go in the late afternoon so you catch the sunset and stay for the light show.
Day 3: Cloud Forest & ArtScience Museum
The Cloud Forest is cool—literally. It’s like a mountain inside a greenhouse, with mist so thick you might as well be hiking in the Andes. I wore sandals and slipped near the waterfall (graceful, I know). Then hit up the ArtScience Museum next door. It’s like walking through a Black Mirror episode but less creepy.
Day 4: Chinatown & Maxwell Food Centre
Time to explore Chinatown and, more importantly, eat everything. I devoured Hainanese chicken rice at Maxwell Food Centre and questioned why I ever ate bland salads. The neighborhood’s full of vibrant temples and murals, but let’s be honest—you’re here to snack. Don’t skip the kaya toast.
Day 5: Little India & Tekka Centre
Little India is an explosion of colors, spices, and sounds. I walked into Tekka Centre to get biryani and walked out with henna on my hand and a stomach too full to move. The garland sellers, gold shops, and Bollywood music blasting from corner stores make this area feel alive 24/7.
Day 6: Kampong Glam & Haji Lane
Kampong Glam is hipster central. I spent hours on Haji Lane, dodging selfie sticks and popping into graffiti-covered cafes. Got a Turkish coffee that kept me buzzing all day. Visit the Sultan Mosque for a quiet moment, then shop for perfumes you can’t pronounce.
Day 7: Sentosa Island Adventure
Beach day, baby! Sentosa is Singapore’s playground. I rode the Cable Car over from Mount Faber and immediately regretted not packing motion sickness pills. Hit up the beach, do the Luge ride (wheee!), and close out with sunset drinks at Tanjong Beach Club.
Day 8: Universal Studios Singapore
Universal Studios Singapore was the most fun I’ve had getting drenched—hello Jurassic Park River Adventure. I screamed like a child on Battlestar Galactica (no regrets). Buy your tickets online to skip the chaos. Oh, and wear quick-dry clothes. You’re gonna get wet.
Day 9: Singapore Zoo & Night Safari
The Singapore Zoo is no joke—open-air enclosures and orangutans swinging overhead. I dropped my map trying to feed a giraffe and just kinda winged it. Stay after dark for the Night Safari, where you can literally hear lions roar while sipping kopi. It’s wild.
Day 10: Pulau Ubin & East Coast Park
Take a bumboat to Pulau Ubin and it’s like teleporting to the ’60s. Rented a bike, got lost, met a monitor lizard, almost peed myself—10/10 recommend. Then chill at East Coast Park, rent blades or a bike, and grab satay by the beach.
Day 11: Orchard Road Shopping Spree
Orchard Road is retail therapy on steroids. I walked 10,000 steps just browsing. Ended up impulse buying skincare I didn’t need (but love). Hit ION Orchard for the bougie vibes, then detour into Emerald Hill for a breather among old shophouses.
Day 12: Singapore River Cruise & Clarke Quay
A Singapore River cruise at golden hour is pure magic. The breeze, the city lights, the awkward couple taking 40 selfies behind you—it’s a vibe. Float past Boat Quay, Robertson Quay, and end at Clarke Quay for dinner and neon-lit chaos. Try a lychee martini. Or three.
Day 13: Southern Ridges Walk & Henderson Waves
Time to earn those hawker meals. The Southern Ridges hike connects parks and forest canopies. The Henderson Waves bridge looks like a potato chip and yes, your legs will burn. I took way too many breaks pretending to enjoy the view. Bring water. Lots of it.
Day 14: Singapore Botanic Gardens & National Orchid Garden
Need chill vibes? Singapore Botanic Gardens is a UNESCO dreamland. The National Orchid Garden inside is bursting with colors and flower names like “Dancing Lady.” I laid on the grass and people-watched for hours. It’s peaceful, green, and surprisingly free (unless you’re entering the orchid section).
Day 15: Last-Minute Eats & Airport Dash
Wrap your 15-Day Singapore Itinerary with a final hawker feast. I made a beeline to Lau Pa Sat, inhaled some satay, and panic-bought souvenirs at the airport. Changi Airport itself is a whole attraction—hello, indoor waterfall! Leave extra time to explore. Or just nap in one of those fancy pods like I did.
Final Thoughts
This 15-Day Singapore Itinerary is proof that tiny countries can serve big adventures. You’ve got the luxe, the local, and a bit of madness all rolled into one. Whether it’s sweating through Chinatown, chilling at East Coast Park, or getting soaked at Universal, Singapore serves it all—clean, efficient, spicy, and slightly ridiculous. Would I do it all over again? In a heartbeat. Just maybe pack more dry-fit shirts next time.le long-term destination.
