]]> Although it is being marketed as a hip and happening destination for the younger crowd, there’s one good reason why Sentosa is also a good place for seniors traveling in Singapore: you can get there and around with minimal walking.

Sentosa Transportation

We went to Sentosa via the Sentosa Express from Vivo City (cost: S$3 per adult, includes entrance fee to the island) and hopped off at the Beach Station. From there, you can either take the trams to the beach, or the buses to the other sights in the island. The rides within the island are all free and you can tour nearly the whole island without having to walk!

]]> Sometimes, it takes visitors to rouse you from your day-to-day activities and see more of interesting spots in your own locality. That’s what I’ve been up to the last several days (and the primary reason why it’s been slow going here at Let’s Visit Asia), playing tour guide to my mother and aunt who are visiting from overseas.

It turned out that there’s quite a number of activities here in Singapore for traveling seniors, afterall. It’s just that I’m used to moving around with kids in tow, so I’ve been more familiar with kid-friendly places rather than places to go for the elderly.

So, yes, I’ve been re-discovering Singapore the last couple of weeks, seeking out place I haven’t been to before because of my unusual company. It’s been fun, and I’ll be sharing them in the next few entries. Stay tuned!
