Fondly nicknamed "the Durian” by Singaporeans for its resemblance to the popular fruit, Esplanade holds a 1,600-seat Concert Hall, a 2,000-seat Theatre and several intimate performance venues. Its performance spaces have hosted a range of high-profile events, such as the return of the quintessential musical Les Misérables.

If you wish to explore the complex further, take the Esplanade Tour, a 60-minute guided tour that takes you through the Concert Hall, Theatre and other front-of-house facilities. The tour will give you an understanding of the venue’s acoustics, its architecture and history, as well as its contribution to Singapore’s art scene.

While Singapore boasts many fine museums, galleries and exhibition spaces, the Singapore Art Museum (SAM) holds a special place in the hearts of local artists and aficionados, and is the perfect destination for those who live to be inspired.

A museum that’s wholly dedicated to contemporary art—with a finger on the pulse of the latest trends, expressions and innovations—this vibrant space is a platform, incubator and home to some of the region’s most talented artists.

Singapore is a city nestled amid lush greenery found along our roadside and parks. Adding to the verdant landscape are the many parks, park connectors, nature reserves, heritage roads and heritage trees found across Singapore which provide for a unique experience of the island’s natural beauty.

The Park Connector Network is an island-wide network of linear open spaces around major residential areas, linking up parks and nature sites in Singapore, allowing everyone to enjoy the splendour of these green spaces.

Pulau Ubin may not have the white sandy beaches of Gili Island or Phuket, nor is it exactly the day-trip getaway of your dreams but the eccentricity and charm of this little offshore island makes it a magical place. One of the two remaining kampongs in Singapore (the other being Kampong Buangkok in Yio Chu Kang), Pulau Ubin is just a 15-minute boat ride away from the mainland.

Whether you’re a nature lover or a thrill seeker, here’s how you can soak in the tranquillity and discover a myriad of hidden treasures on the island.
