Harbourfront has evolved in the last 20 years from being a stopover to other places in Singapore. The place has become a go-to destination, especially for those who need to get away from the bustling crowd in the central area. Here four places to check out on your next visit.
Clarke Quay
History buffs should visit this site to know more about its role in making Singapore as a strategic trading hub for three Malaysian states: Perak, Sungei Ujong and Selangor. The name was derived from Sir Andrew Clarke, who used to be the Governor of the Straits Settlements between 1824 and 1902. A shopping center, which is also called Clarke Quay, is one of the developments that redefined the environment. Most shops at the district are open between 10 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.
Vivo City
Vivo City is technically part of Sentosa Island despite not being located in the area. The shopping mall connects to the island through the Harbourfront MRT and the Skytrain. The place is so enormous that you can find anything you need there, plus enjoy the latest movies from a 15-screen cinema. A children’s playground, a rooftop amphitheater and art exhibits are some of the other recreational amenities. Vivo City’s operating hours are from 10 a.m. to 10 p.m. daily.
SkyPark
If shopping isn’t your idea of a weekend escape, then this place is the best alternative. SkyPark visitors can play mini-bowling and carnival games, aside from a bumper car ride for friends and families. A water playground for children also allows parents to have some well-deserved time for themselves, while they relax by the poolside and take in a majestic view of the Singaporean skyline. SkyPark normally opens at 9:30 a.m and closes at 10 p.m.
The Knolls
Foodies will love the idea of a romantic dinner overlooking an infinity pool against the backdrop of the sea. The Knolls can be found in the Capella hotel that’s perfect for couples who want an intimate weekend stay. The restaurant serves guests between 7 a.m. and 11 p.m. Diners can choose from international and local dishes, although most people visit the restaurant for its European cuisine.
Those who would rather save money on food expenses should head to hawker centers in Harbourfront. The alfresco food courts feature different dishes including India, Thai, Malay and Western cuisines. Once you’re full, you can go for a stroll on Sentosa Island by taking the Sentosa Express for $4.
