Adam and Eve’s Garden?
For big ‘wow’ factor moments together, Gardens by the Bay is the place to be. Set among the cascading waterfalls, radiating Supertrees and floating bridges, it’s romance-plus.

Satay by the Bay is the place to be for grilled meats within Gardens By the Bay.
Romance on the Mountain
This is snuggle-up territory! At sunset, enjoy Mt Faber’s natural hotspot for heavenly panoramic views. Enjoy a cocktail at the trendy restaurant-bar or a fine dining meal and watch the city lights twinkle. While you can drive up, it’s so much more fun to take the cable car system that links Mt Faber to Sentosa Island.
Cupid’s Rooftop Garden

Little India
Head for bustling Little India to see Sri Veeramakaliamma, the prettiest temple in the neighbourhood. The House of Tan Teng Niah – Singapore’s most colourful building is also worth a visit. For 24-hour shopping, the Mustafa Centre has everything under one roof and has a cult-like status in Singapore.
While in Little India, you should also check out the Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple, popularly known as the ‘Temple of 1,000 Lights’ due to an adjacent room containing many such lights. The main feature of this Buddhist temple is the central 15-metre tall Buddha statue that draws in worshippers and tourists with both its religious significance and beauty.
