The national museum of Singapore dates back to 1849 and is one of the oldest museums in Singapore. As you marvel at the colonial architecture and take a few pictures to add onto Instagram, don’t forget to also head into the National Museum to enrich your history knowledge, and appreciate the tastefully decorated interior.

The exhibits within the museum primarily focus on the history of Singapore and is one of the four national museums in the country. There’s a ramp spiral within the museum that leads down to an exhibition space holding some of the nation’s most treasured items such as the Singapore stone and 14^th-century gold ornaments that were unearthed at Fort Canning Hill. In the basement, there’s even a column-free gallery for temporary exhibits that have insulated walls without windows and is climatically controlled to protect exhibits from light, heat, or humidity changes.

While most tourists flock to Sentosa while visiting Singapore, very few know of the Sentosa Beach Rope Bridge. Most individuals are familiar with attractions that reside in Sentosa such as Universal Studios, the Merlion, and Palawan Beach. Did you know, however, that Palawan Beach is the centre of the southern coast of Sentosa? Hence, this suspension bridge actually leads to another small isle that’s said to be the southernmost point of continental Asia (or rather, the closest point in Asia to the equator).

With the beach and the southernmost point of Asia as your backdrop, this is definitely an instagrammable spot you wouldn’t want to miss. After you’re done, pop by one of the several bars along the beach down to cool down from the sweltering heat.
