Start your 2nd day in Singapore off with a leisurely stroll through the massive Botanic Gardens. Fun fact &#8211; it\u2019s the only tropical garden in the world to be given UNESCO World Heritage status.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">You may even spot some wildlife on your visit. With more than 150 years of history, it\u2019s a major reason that Singapore is known as the City in a Garden. Spend your morning just wandering around the several different areas.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Having visited Chinatown on day one, it\u2019s time to check out the city\u2019s Little India neighborhood. While you\u2019re here, you can visit a colorful Hindu temple. Surely you\u2019re hungry by now. Thankfully this is the perfect place for lunch. Step into any market and take your pick from the countless stalls cooking up cheap, delicious Indian food.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Next up, it\u2019s back downtown to admire the city\u2019s architecture, both traditional and modern. You can check out a few museums as well, such as the Art Museum and the National Museum.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Nearby you\u2019ll find Fort Canning Hill. It\u2019s also known as the Forbidden Hill, as there\u2019s a belief that the ancient kings of Singapore were laid to rest here and continue to haunt the place. You may not find any ghosts, but you will find a blend of historical relics, artwork, and lush greenery. It\u2019s the perfect spot to relax after an action packed couple of days exploring Singapore.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">Finally, you might as well complete the trifecta and visit the Arab Quarter. Highlighted by the stunning Sultan Mosque, it\u2019s an interesting place to wander around for a bit. Here you can shop for Arabic clothing, pick up a Persian rug, and eat a schwarma.<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\">On the walk back to your hostel, who knows what you\u2019ll find\u2026 you may stumble upon a bustling street market. Finish your 48 hours in Singapore with a soak in a rooftop cold jacuzzi.&#8221;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<img width=\"350\" height=\"250\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/01\/Singapore14-001-350x250.jpg\" class=\"attachment-post-thumbnail size-post-thumbnail wp-post-image\" alt=\"48 Hours in Singapore (Part Two)\" decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/01\/Singapore14-001-350x250.jpg 350w, https:\/\/blogs.transparent.com\/english\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/31\/2018\/01\/Singapore14-001.jpg 600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 350px) 100vw, 350px\" \/><p>With just 48 hours in Singapore, it&#8217;s best to spend your first day taking in the sights downtown.
