How to spend 5 days in Singapore

We had a fantastic 5-day, 4-night trip to Singapore, with everything organized smoothly through Trip.com. *Accommodation:* We stayed at *lyf Bugis Singapore*, managed by The Ascott Ltd (formerly Hotel Gin Bugis). The location was perfect—easy access to MRT and buses, and plenty of dining and shopping options around. The rooms were clean and well-maintained, though the space was a bit compact, as expected in Singapore. A good choice for those who prefer convenience and affordability. *Sightseeing:* The itinerary covered the best of Singapore! We spent a day at *Gardens by the Bay*, which was stunning, even though there was a carnival during our visit. The SGD 10 for the double-decker carousel was a bit steep, but still worth it for the experience. *Transport:* Getting around was easy using the MRT and buses. *Weather:* We had great weather during our trip—pleasant, not too hot, and no rain. The atmosphere was lively, but yes, it did get crowded during the holiday period, so plan your activities accordingly to avoid long waits. *Tips for Future Travelers:* - If visiting during a holiday period (like Chinese New Year), be ready for larger crowds and extra charges in food courts. - Gardens by the Bay is a must-see, but if you’re on a budget, you can still enjoy the outdoor areas without entering the paid attractions. *Overall Experience:* A wonderful trip overall! Highly recommend using Trip.com to plan your Singapore trip for a hassle-free experience. We had a great time, and the combination of easy transport, great accommodations, and iconic sightseeing made this an unforgettable holiday.
