Singapore is small, efficient, and endlessly diverse — you can eat Michelin-starred hawker food, wander a Chinese temple, a Hindu shrine, and a mosque, and end the day at a futuristic garden, all a few MRT stops apart. A three-day Singapore itinerary comfortably covers the Marina Bay icons, the cultural quarters, and a nature or Sentosa day, with the metro doing all the heavy lifting.
