Romantic yet modern, infused with local cultural charm, these are the reasons why many couples choose the Lion City as their holiday destination.
Whether you seek intimacy and romance or immerse yourself in vibrant festivities, Singapore has it all. During the extended Lunar New Year break, couples can explore the following activities for their adventure.
Love bridges at the Lunar New Year festival
Welcoming the new year with blessings and prosperity, the grand Lunar New Year celebrations are held from before New Year's Day until the 15th day of the lunar calendar. Notable highlights include the lantern festival, the Hong Bao (red packet) festivities, and the Chingay parade.
Symbols of success, luck, and unity adorn every corner during the festive season. Couples visiting Singapore during this Lunar New Year should seize the opportunity to enhance their love by immersing themselves in the spiritual atmosphere here.
Admire the city from above
For a romantic getaway, nothing beats the stunning views from high above. Singapore prioritizes investing in prime spots offering panoramic cityscapes, providing a sense of luxury for travelers, especially for couples in love.
You and your beloved should try the sensation of holding hands while strolling along the 128-meter-long skywalk connecting two supertrees at Gardens by the Bay or standing in a cabin of the Singapore Flyer moving to the 165m-high spot for a bird's-eye view of Singapore. The experience is even more impressive at sunset and when the city lights up. Another location for both of you to admire the island's panorama is on the 57th floor at Marina Bay Sands, or on the 55th and 56th floors of the ION Sky observation deck on Orchard Road.
Embark on thrilling adventures together
If both of you love action-packed activities, try jetpacking, surfing at Wave House, indoor skydiving at iFly, or holding hands while flying into space with Gmax.
For something gentler, there's MegaZip, Luge... The suggested address is Sentosa Island, home to the famous Universal Studios amusement park with various types of fun for couples to choose from.
Indulge in a rich culinary experience
Exploring cuisines adds excitement to any travel plan. Singapore offers a plethora of delicacies from Asia to Europe, making it impossible to uncover all within a few days' stay. However, to enhance love and seek peace in the new year, couples should favor the traditional cuisines of the Lion City.
Don't forget to savor the prosperous Yu Sheng salad with your loved one, chanting New Year wishes and enjoying it as gleefully as a native Singaporean. Just as the 27 ingredients in this dish symbolize blessings, 27 good fortunes shall befall upon both of you. Other must-try dishes during Tet include Nian Gao, signifying enduring bonds, and longevity noodles for 'growing old together'...
