Top Architecture in Singapore city-state

If you're into food, stop by the hawker center nearby for local eats instead of the pricier restaurants. The chicken rice there is amazing and much cheaper!

When you're walking around, don't forget to explore the alleyways. I stumbled upon some cool cafes and boutique shops that weren't in the main area – way cooler than the touristy spots!

Look for happy hour deals at the bars; some are pretty good, and you can save on drinks while soaking in the views. I ended up at a place with 1-for-1 cocktails and it was awesome!

Bring a power bank! I spent so much time taking pictures that my phone died pretty quickly. You'll want to capture every angle of those colorful buildings!

I suggest bringing a light scarf or cardigan to cover your shoulders; they can be strict about dress codes, and it's better to be safe than sorry!

I think checking the weather beforehand is super important! If it's cloudy or raining you might miss out on those stunning views from the observation deck.

Next time, I’d check out the Marina Bay Sands app for any last-minute deals or events that could save me some money while visiting.

I suggest coming just before sunset, around 6:30 PM. You’ll get to see the city light up as the sun goes down—it's totally worth it!

My advice is to explore the surrounding areas a bit. There are some really cute cafes and shops just steps away from Chijmes, and it makes for a nice stroll.
