2 Best Sights in Singapore

Changi International Airport

Changi Fodor's choice
Singapore’s slick airport hasn’t just won multiple awards for World’s Best Airport—it’s also been named one of the world’s most outstanding retail real-estate projects. And it's no wonder: The sprawling four-terminal complex houses hundreds of stores and restaurants, many of which can’t be found elsewhere. If shopping and eating—the country’s most popular pastimes—aren’t your thing, there are plenty of other draws, like the Butterfly Garden, a Canopy Park (where you can walk across bouncy nets suspended across the top floor), and the Rain Vortex, a seven-story (and the world's tallest) indoor waterfall.

Raffles City

Civic District

Designed by the famed Chinese-American architect I. M. Pei, the towering Raffles City complex contains an office tower; a variety of retail stores, including Robinsons Department Store; and two hotels, the Swissôtel The Stamford and the Fairmont Singapore. There's a stunning view of downtown and the harbor from the Swissôtel's 70th-floor restaurants, contemporary grill Skai and mod British fine diner Jaan by Kirk Westaway.
