First Impressions of Singapore | Can We Ever Come Back Here

We have arrived in Singapore for the first time and are touring it's amazing areas such as Marina Bay and Chinatown and will share with you what to do in Singapore. We are on an breathtaking South Asia Pacific Viking Ocean cruise that’s lasting an entire month, and it’s allowed us to visit some fantastic new places along the way. Since we typically slow travel for a month at a time, this provides us a rare opportunity to gather first impressions to decide if we would spend the money and time. to return here for a longer visit. Do we think Singapore is worth a longer stay? We’ll decide by showing you some of the best parts of the country to visit, the more surprising parts of the culture that we’ve discovered, and leave you with a few travel tips at the end.
