Overview



An unlikely success story, Singapore went from a simple fishing village in 1819 to one of the world’s most prosperous cities. A happy collision of opposites is presented, from the curious blend of ancient and modern architecture to the coexistence of tropical rainforests and urban areas.

A predominantly English speaking society, the city is home to an ethnic mix of Chinese, Malays and Indians, as well as expats from all corners of the world. The end result is a metropolis overflowing with colour and culture, pulsing with a beat that never dies.

Commonly marketed as a shopper’s haven and offering up a whole planet’s worth of culinary experiences visitors might be surprised to know Singapore has much more up its sleeve. Its award winning Singapore Zoological Gardens and the world’s first Night Safari are hugely popular, keeping in line with its “Garden City” theme.

With shopping, cuisine and accommodation to suit every budget, Southeast Asia’s little gem is the world’s safest city.
