Singapore and Bali

Heading to Singapore for 4 nights and then off to Bali for 10 nights for our honeymoon at the end of July.

Any suggestions for things to do? Nice restaurants? Thanks!

Where are you staying and what kind of thing do you like doing?

We are hiking up a volcano for sunrise. Biking in the paddy fields, visiting temples and then a bit of RnR.

Singapore is big on food, so it can probably be covered depending on your preferences. Personally, I'd recommend going for a range from hawker markets to high-end. Booking is important for some higher-end or popular ones, so if you want to go somewhere specific, do that early. Arab Street/Haji Lane, Chinatown and Little India all offer incredible food and are good to walk around.

To be honest, Singapore is pretty small - especially as you're likely to stay fairly centrally - so for first-time tourists, I honestly recommend the open-top buses on your first day. You can view everywhere quickly and then plan the rest of your time from that, and after that, the local MTR and buses are very easy to work out.

Touristy things I've recommended to visitors; the Asian Civilisation Museum is small, central and interesting so if you only do one museum, I'd recommend this one. Gardens by the Bay are beautiful, as are the Botanic Gardens - both enjoyable even if you're not a big gardener. If you like exploring neighbourhoods outside Chinatown and Little India, I'd suggest Joo Chiat.

There's quite a few Asia based MNetters so say what your preferences are and pretty sure there will be some good recommendations

If you need a guide for Bali I can recommend one for you (but the traffic and getting around is dreadfully slow).

Depends on what you like really and of course budget for both places (been to both many times)

In Singapore I would go to the zoo and night safari.

If you are there on a Sunday , everyone has the day off so everywhere is hugely busy. If you want to go to raffles for high tea (which I recommend and you can have a Singapore sling with it) then that’s the day to do it. You must book in advance.

Go down to gardens by the bay late afternoon, have dinner at the hawkers market there and stay to see the night lights.

It’s been a while since I’ve been to Bali but most people try a day trip to ubud and the beach restaurants at jimbaryn bay.

Singapore
Recommend visiting the glass domes behind Marina Sands Bay Hotel. The "tree" structures play music at certain times of day & free fountain display in front of the hotel at night.
Eve meal next to river Clarke Quay or China Town
There is an underground train, buy tickets from 7/11

Bali
Lots of temples
Went to Gili T Island too
Travelled round
