Singapore is one of the most popular and diverse destinations in Asia, thanks to its tremendous natural beauty, hyper-modern cities, and various places to see.
The beautiful island country comprises five breathtaking regions, each home to some of the world’s most unique, interesting, and fun travel routes; here are a few of the best.
Exploring the Central Region
The Central Region of Singapore is the heart of the country and is filled with businesses, tourists, and — of course — the island resort of Sentosa.
Changi Airport is just a 20-minute drive away, where you can book a private jet to fly north to Seletar Airport, making luxury travel in and around Singapore incredibly easy. When you aren’t flying, here are some of the most exquisite travel routes to explore in the Central Region.
Nassim Road
Known as the most expensive street in Singapore, Nassim Road is less than a mile long but home to the super-rich — those inhabiting extensive, elegant bungalows. The quiet and tranquil tree-lined stretch of road is found near Singapore Botanical Gardens and takes full advantage of the abundant foliage.
Nassim Road may not look similar to somewhere in Beverly Hills or Dubai, but the large pieces of land and the private nature of the neighborhood make it the dream place to live for many Singaporeans.
Ocean Drive
Entering Sentosa Island is a magical experience, especially if you are doing it along Ocean Drive. This famous stretch of road has a beautiful blue ocean on one side and magnificent
skyscrapers on the other.
Walking along this stretch of road will give you deeper insight into Singapore and how it has seamlessly merged the modern world with the timeless natural surroundings.
Mount Faber Road
Located on the iconic Mount Faber, which overlooks the southern coast of Singapore and Sentosa, Mount Faber Road provides mountain tranquility in the heart of a busy city. One of the biggest draws on the road is that it will lead you to the breathtaking Singapore cable car.
This incredible cable car will take you on a ride from the peak of Mount Faber all the way to Sentosa, giving you unique views of the city below, the ocean, and its surroundings. It is easily one of the best ways to get acquainted with the area when you first arrive.
South Buona Vista Road
Found in Kent Ridge Park, South Buona Vista makes its way through a forest of natural and plant trees and plants. This picturesque stretch of road may be one of the most beautiful in Singapore, and it has a rich history dating back to World War Two.
Once offering drivers uninterrupted views of Singapore, the ridges home to this famed road were once the site of a battle between the invading Japanese forces and the Malay Regiment during the Battle of Pasir Panjang Road.
The Beauty of the East Region
The East Region of Singapore is a delightful combination of urban and rural, as the border with Malaysia is relatively close to the CBD. The region is also home to Pulau Ubin Island, which boasts abundant natural beauty, including forests, wetlands, and hiking and cycling routes.
Pulau Ubin
Finally, Pulau Ubin is an island on the east coast of Singapore, right on its border with Malaysia. It is not a singular route but rather a network of interconnected roads and paths to explore on this magnificent piece of land.
You can find a mountain bike park, old shrines, a jetty, and the Chek Jawa Wetlands — great for birdwatchers. Plus, the handful of competing sites allows you to sleep under the stars along with the bright lights of both Singapore and Malaysia.
Navigating the North-East Region
The North-East Region, home to Seletar Airport, has stunning views of the waterway separating Singapore and Malaysia. It’s also home to the beautiful cities of Taman Rinting and Pasir Gudang. The best route to reach this destination is via Northshore Drive.
Northshore Drive
Northshore Drive would look right at home on the Miami coastline, with towering apartment blocks, lush gardens, and breathtaking views of the waterway; the only thing missing is a beach.
Northshore Drive is packed with beautiful apartments, making it one of the most sought-after areas to live in the Northeast.
Abundant Nature in the North Region
The North Region of Singapore is home to enormous green spaces, parks, and forests. It is also home to several animal parks and walking trails. Nature abounds in the North Region, making it Singapore’s best area to escape the busier and louder parts of the country.
Mandai Road
Located near the Upper Seletar Reservoir, Mandai Road is one of Singapore’s oldest carriageways. Dense with tropical trees that line the sidewalk, the road was first constructed in 1855 and was the main link between Woodlands and Upper Thompson.
Off the road, you can find plenty of forest to explore, as well as Singapore Zoo, the River Wonders Wildlife Park, a reptile park, and an area where you can join a night safari.
Walking the West Region
To the west, you will find more green spaces, coastlines, and the western border with Malaysia. The quiet nature of this part of Singapore makes it perfect for outings and exploration without being swamped by crowds.
Lim Chu Kang Road
Lim Chu Kang is lined with trees and verdant grass, resembling a simple countryside road you would find in a more rural part of the US or the UK. Small towns and villages are found along this quaint and quiet route, as well as the Lim Chu Kang Air Force Base, where you may be lucky enough to see a fighter jet or two fly over.
The Streets of Singapore
These are only a handful of the incredible travel routes that Singapore has to offer. Whether on foot, hiking, or cycling, traveling these roads is one of the best ways to explore Singapore — both new and old.
