Don't Make These 5 Mistakes in Singapore

What 90% of solo women don't know about staying safe in Singapore.

Summary

The tourist center with the major landmarks and waterfront views. Safe and easy to navigate, but expensive and not representative of local life.

Details

Marina Bay has the postcard shots - Marina Bay Sands with the rooftop pool, Gardens by the Bay with the Supertrees, and the Merlion statue. It's where tourists go and it looks like it. The waterfront stays busy late with people jogging or watching the nightly light show. Security is visible, everything is clean, and everyone speaks English. You can eat alone easily at the waterfront restaurants, but expect to pay tourist prices. The skyline at sunset looks good, but this isn't where you'll find authentic Singapore - it's the polished tourist zone. For local food and actual neighborhood life, you need to go elsewhere.
