Singapore is one of Asia’s most modern, clean and safe places to visit and is a brilliant city to experience either as a one-off holiday destination or as a stopover before or after your ideal beach location. Due to its proximity to other Southeast Asian countries and vast flying options, it is a perfect destination to twin with Bali, Malaysia or Thailand.
Known for its high standard of living, excellent trade and transport links and financial stability, Singapore is also very popular with tourists, particularly those that are looking to combine an exciting city break with a more relaxed beach stay.
With its amazing mix of cultures, brilliant shopping and dining opportunities and an excellent public transport system, there is a lot to do and see and exploring Singapore is very easy. It’s also a very ‘walkable’ city, so take some comfy shoes and take a stroll through the back streets and towards the marina, although due its equatorial position it can be quite warm and humid so you may take a few quick dives into the air-conditioned malls and cafes on the way!
Something that Singapore prides itself on is the eclectic mix of nationalities and hence people that call this place home, from the Chinese to the Malay, the Thai to the Indian and of course beyond this from Europe, the USA and more. This excellent mix of cultures ensures there is real religious diversity, a wealth of ethnic cuisine and a number of major festivals including the Singapore Arts Festival, the Lantern Festival and not forgetting of course Chinese New Year!
