Do you know that Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world? But don’t let that dampen your moods. It may be small, but Singapore has a lot to offer! One of the best reasons to get a Singapore E Visa and travel to Singapore is that it has earned the name of being one of the cleanest cities in the world. What’s more – in terms of culture and religion, the nation is quite diverse from its neighbouring nations, and its languages – Mandarin, Tamil, English, and Malay - are spoken by many. Coming back to the nation itself, if you are wondering about the places to see in Singapore, then, you are in luck – for the nation is also one of the most modern countries that you will ever visit. Granted, many avoid Singapore because of its infamous high costs, and you will need a budget to visit the nation – but that is no excuse not to visit the country. There is a whole dearth of places to visit in Singapore – and the best part – a whole lot of these places are worthy of gracing your Instagram feed! So, without any further ado, let’s get straight to a few of these places that are truly worth checking out – and have the most Instagrammable places in Singapore, rightfully.

These two outdoor attractions are unlike anything that you will ever visit – you can’t say that you have been to Singapore if you haven’t visited them. Dubbed as one of the top places to see in Singapore, Gardens by the Bay features a collection of giant vertical gardens covered by hundreds and thousands of fauna and flora. Known as ‘Supertree Grove’ to the masses, these gardens lend a friendly and futuristic vibe to the landscape.

What to do in Singapore

? If that question ever leaves your lips, and that too, while in Singapore, then you must have missed the Singapore Zoo. Renowned around the world for its ‘open captivity’ design, the animals in this zoo are kept in enclosures, but they are surrounded by moats and other non-intrusive barriers.

6. Orchard Road

What’s Singapore without making a few trips to the shopping lanes, right? Orchard Road – a road that was once a street and was filled with orchards (hence, the name), is today one of the best places in Singapore to shop. Shop till you drop dead – that phrase fits this destination entirely! Filled with malls lining the road, one can wander the Orchard Road, and shop for all kinds of designer goods, making it one of the most envying Instagrammable places in Singapore.

7. LASALLE College of the Arts

The design can see the dedication to the arts of the building itself – it serves as an inspiration for the students of the college too. Because it’s a college, there are hordes and hordes of bridges for the masses to grab plenty of unbelievable shots and that too from different angles – it’s truly deserving of the titles "one of the best places to see in Singapore" and "one of the most Instagrammable places in Singapore".

Did you know that there is also Universal Studios in Singapore – though, it’s hidden away in an alley! Inspired by America in the 1930s, this hidden Instagram-worthy destination in Singapore is one that you can’t afford to miss – located in the New York section in the park, beside the ‘Lights, Camera, Attraction’ attraction, this entire alley is decked out in rustic decorations that make it look like one is in a movie location overseas!

Patterns have and will always be a hot favourite on Instagram feeds – after all, they can make your picture pop out like no other. But where on earth can you even find patterns truly worthy of gracing your Instagram feed? Located near the Gardens by the Bay, Lattice Structure has been the winner of the German Design Award 2018. It was once the sight of ‘The Future of Us’ exhibition, but now, they are preserved as a permanent installation. We did mention patterns, right, so, here it comes – the entire structure is composed of triangular shapes that come to form the structure itself, and which recreates the looks of yesteryear thatched roofs, which you will be happy to know that they provide the perfect angle for an Instagram-worthy photo.
