20 Most Instagrammable places in Singapore

1) Gardens by the Bay (Super Tree Grove)

If you are planning a trip to Singapore one of the top things on your itinerary should be to check out the Gardens by the Bay.

It is hands down the coolest park I’ve ever been too and it’s FREE! The super trees are covered in a beautiful array of tropical flowers and are such an amazing site to see!

Make sure you visit the park twice – once during the day time and once at night as the Super trees light up to music each night at 19h45 and 20h45.

TOP TIP – Come before 9am to enjoy the main super tree grove with less people (and get that instagrammable shot! If you come later in the day make sure you check out the less crowded Golden and Silver gardens.

2) Marina Bay Sands

Easily the most iconic building in Singapore, the Marina Bay Sands is also a great subject for Instagram pictures.

TOP TIP – There are lots of different possible angles to capture the Marina Bay Sand, my favourite spots are by the Merlion, at the end of the Helix Bridge and within Gardens by the Bay.

3) Marina Bay Sands Infinity Pool

Another iconic Singapore photo for your Instagram is in the infinity pool at the Marina Bay Sands. Please note that you will have to be a guest at the hotel in order to use the pool.

TOP TIP – If you can’t afford to splash out on a room at the Marina Bay Sands you can still enjoy the view by going up to the Cé La Vi bar.

4) OCBC Skyway

Enjoy views over Singapore and the super trees by going up the OCBC Skyway. Tickets are only $8 and they limit the amount of people allowed on the bridge at one time so it’s never too busy.

TOP TIP – Go for opening at 9am to enjoy it with only a few other people.

5) Cloud Forest

Located within Gardens By the Bay, the Cloud Forest offers impressive photo opportunities as well as a chance to cool off in the air conditioned interior.

Tickets to visit the two conservatories are 28$, you can buy this online or from the ticket office.

TOP TIP – Try to avoid visiting the cloud forest on the weekend. We also went for opening at 9am to ensure that we could get a photo in front of this waterfall (which is located right at the entrance).

6) Floral Fantasy

Floral Fantasy is one of Singapore’s newest instagrammable attractions at Gardens by the Bay. Flowers, artistry and technology come together to create a dream-like, fantastical experience for visitors, and creating lots of beautiful photo opportunities.

TOP TIP – As this is a new attraction in 2019 I would book your tickets in advance to avoid disappointment.

7) Singapore’s Art Science Museum

The Art Science Museum in Singapore has a number of amazing interactive exhibits that are not only super fun but super instagrammable too!

TOP TIP – The insta-famous light display is located right at the end of the Future World exhibit, if you go to the museum for opening at 10am and head straight there you should have it all to yourself (you can then back track to the start of the exhibit).

A beautiful piece of architecture that stretches over Marina Bay to Gardens by the Bay, offering perfect views of the Singapore city skyline and Marina Bay Sands.

A great spot to photograph Marina Bay Sands as well as see the iconic Merlion fountain. As there’s water right behind you you can shoot at any time of day!

10) Jewel at Singapore’s Changi Airport

Another new instagrammable spot in Singapore is the largest indoor waterfall in the world at the Jewel Changi Airport. The Rain Vortex is quite a site! This is a mall within the airport and not at one particular terminal.

TOP TIP  – I would recommend going to the Jewel in the evening so that you can see the FREE light show! It’s at 7.30 pm, 8.30 pm, 9.30 pm, 10.30 pm and 12.30 pm

11) Kampong Glam (Arab Street and Haji Lane)

Two of the most instagrammed streets in Singapore, Arab Street and Haji Lane are very popular amongst instagrammers thanks to the colourful graffitied walls, unique boutique stores and fun cafés with live music.

12) Masjid Sultan

If you are heading to Kampong Glam make sure you stop to check out the beautiful Masjid Sultan!

13) Little India

You will find the most colourful insta-worthy building in Little India. Just google Tan Teng Niah! We shot this mid-week during the afternoon and there weren’t too many people around.

TOP TIP – Bring a wide angle lens so that you can capture the whole building.

14) Chinese Garden

The Chinese Garden is a park in Jurong East, Singapore. The beautiful Chinese style architecture is overlooking a river, making it the perfect spot for a few photos!

15) Alkaff Bridge

For some reason this bridge isn’t insta-famous yet but it should be! The super colourful Alkaff Bridge is located near Robertson Quay, and makes for a perfect instagram photo.

16) Ministry of Communication and Information

Even the Government buildings in Singapore are beautiful! Make sure to stop and photograph the Ministry of Communication and Information whilst exploring Singapore. This spot is also called Old Hill Street Police Station on Google Maps.

TOP TIP – You can photograph the Ministry of Communication and Information at any time of day from the other side of the road (Hill Street). You just need to be patient for the traffic to stop at the red lights.

17) Peranakan Houses (Koon Seng Road)

You will find the instagrammable pastel coloured peranakan houses on Koon Seng Road.

TOP TIP – As this isn’t really at attraction and is a bit out of the centre you can go anytime to take photos (but I would try to avoid the weekend if possible).

18) Chijmes

If you’re looking for a lunch spot in Singapore then head to Chijmes! There are a number of different restaurants which circle around a beautiful white church. The white arches and beautiful patterned floor are super instagrammable, especially if you are wanting to do an #ootd shot.

19) Fort Canning Park

Take a relaxing stroll through Fort Canning Park before heading to the Pedestrian entrance/exit to photograph the beautiful spiraling staircase.

20) Singapore Botanic Gardens (National Orchid Garden)

The Singapore Botanic Gardens are huge, diverse and best of all FREE!

Stroll around the lake and peak at the many turtles, enjoy the “walk of the giants” where you can bounce on the rope trampoline surrounded by huge trees, or head to the Orchid garden for only 5$ per person!

TOP TIP – The Orchid Garden is where you will find the insta-famous flower arch.

21) Sentosa Island

Once you have done everything that Singapore has to offer, head on over to Sentosa Island to enjoy a relaxed night near the beach. Not only will you find lots of palm trees to photograph but there’s also this cute bridge to take you to the Southernmost point of Continental Asia on Palawan Island!

Where are the most Instagrammable places in Singapore?

Below you will see a map filled with pins for all of the above instagrammable spots.

As you can see a lot of these are clustered in the centre. In terms of location you can visit the following around the same time:

Gardens By the Bay, OCBC Walkway, Cloud Forest/Flower Dome, Floral Fantasy, Marina Bay Sands, Art Science Museum, Helix Bridge, Merlion. Personally I would split these sites up over two days so you can ensure early entrance to the Cloud Forest and the Art Science Museum.

China Town, Fort Canning Park, Alkaff Bridge, Ministry of Communication and Information and Chijmes. You could then go visit Little India and Kampong Glam.

The Peranakan Houses, Singapore Botanic Gardens, Sentosa Island and Chinese Garden are all further from the centre (and not near each other) so you’ll need to work out which of these works for your itinerary. If you are flying in or out of Changi Airport then you can visit the Jewel then.

I hope you enjoy your time in Singapore, the most instagrammable city in Asia! I would recommend spending at least 3 nights in this incredible metropolis.
