4 Best Sights in Singapore

Now just a metal monument—in the 1980s, this was the site of Tiong Bahru's most loved coffeeshop, where locals could hang their bird cages while they sat and sipped coffee. The shopowner, Wah Heng, devised the concept after seeing how much attention a nearby pet shop was getting from its bird cages. Indeed, many bird owners made a beeline for the shop, and before long, the cacophony of song and colorful cages drew attention from locals, tourists, and journalists alike. Sadly, the coffee shop closed in the early 2000s.

Harry Styles, Taylor Swift, and local footballer Fandi Ahmad are just some of the realistic wax figures to admire and strike a pose with at Madame Tussauds Singapore. Included with the standard ticket is "Images of Singapore," a 45-minute show about Singapore's history, and the Spirit of Singapore boat ride, in which iconic landmarks and Sir Stamford Raffles (the founder of modern Singapore) make an appearance. The entry fee also includes admission to the Ultimate Film Star Experience and one souvenir digital photo. There are additional combination packages for access to Marvel Universe 4D and VR Racing experience.
