SINGAPORE

A multi-cultural city of modern miracles that embodies the finest of both East and West, Singapore is an absolute delight to explore. Nothing is quite as it first appears here; while the exterior is startlingly Western, just beneath lies a rich cultural heritage where religion, superstition and memory live on.

Dining

Singapore richly deserves its reputation as the food capital of Asia. From hawker centres to glamorous palaces of gastronomy, memorable local, regional and international meals await you.

Culture

Take in the myriad of colours and cultures in Little India and Chinatown where temples and mosques welcome curious observers. Or recapture the colonial era with a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel. Just outside the city, and easily reached, are large jungle reserves and edifying historic sites.

Shopping

Shopping is a sport in Singapore, and best played on Orchard Road, a very long stretch of luxury malls and exclusive hotels. For retail therapy with a more local flavour, try Little India, Arab Street, and Chinatown.

Getting around

You have plenty of options. By metered taxis, the not-too-taxing MRT subway system, bus, or on the water by ferry or bumboat. Rickshaws are now only really found in Chinatown.
