Solo activities are wonderful for those looking to get out and explore the city on their own. Perhaps you just want to indulge in a good workout session to escape from your daily routine and get some extra me-time. Either way, solo dates are a perfect way to take time out and sit with your thoughts. Without anyone’s expectations or needs to slow you down, it’s a chance for you to focus on yourself.
So if you are looking to take yourself on a date, here are five solo activities we think will make your date extra special:
1) Visit Gardens By The Bay
Spend a quiet day with nature at Gardens by the Bay. This park is located on the tip of Marina Bay and features outdoor gardens and air-conditioned conservatories. There are many different ways to explore this park – hop onto the tram, walk through its many trails, or take one of their tours. Immerse yourself in nature at the Flower Dome or the Cloud Forest Conservatory. These conservatories house flora and fauna from all parts of the world. You can wander around, smell the roses, and sit on a bench to collect your thoughts.
2) Check Out The Esplanade – Theaters On The Bay
Also known as “The Durian”, the Esplanade – Theaters on the Bay is a huge performing arts center located in Downtown Singapore. With regular performances and exhibitions by both local and international art groups, this cultural arts center is the perfect spot for a solo date. Even then, when there aren’t any shows, it’s still relaxing to just walk around the area at night and gaze at the Marina Bay Sands and the tall commercial buildings, which highlight the night sky of Singapore.
3) Go On A Food Tour
One of Singapore’s delicacies is the Chilli Crab, a delectable seafood dish renowned for its spicy-sweet sauce and succulent crab meat, embodying the city’s vibrant culinary scene.
