Whether you're looking for a different place to bring the kids for a fun day out, or a faraway destination for a weekend drive, these are our five favourite locations in Singapore for a quick getaway!
Tired of visiting the usual, overcrowded venues? If you've got a car, why not bring your wife / date / kiddos to these lesser-known locations instead? And don't forget your NETS Motoring Card before heading off!
These are our top five places to visit that are all not as easy to access via public transport, which means more quiet time between you and that special someone, or more open space for the kids to run free. Visit them this holiday period and you might even find a new makan location or two!

Johor Straits Lighthouse
The perfect location for romantic evening walks, this little lighthouse is out on the western-most corner of Singapore - guaranteeing that you'll get a quieter experience than a stroll down Orchard Road.
Admire the picturesque lighthouse in the evening, or drool over the various yachts anchored along the pier, and once you're done, there's even the opportunity to stretch your car's legs out a little on the way back home along the AYE / PIE!
Address: Raffles Marina, 10 Tuas West Drive, Singapore 638404

Sentosa Cove Lighthouse
Don't stay anywhere near the west? Don't fret. There's also Sentosa Island to consider. Plot a trip to this southern little lighthouse and you'll also be able to do some house spotting while you make your way around Sentosa Cove.

You've been warned! With the NETS Motoring Card's auto top-up function you'll be able to breeze through the parking fees in Sentosa Island!
