Singapore

Vibrantly cosmopolitan, perfectly manicured, excitingly modern, fashionably chic and ethnically rich, Singapore is one of Southeast Asia's rarest gems and its finest example of how a city should be run. From the impeccable, beautifully landscaped parks to the happening pubs and clubs and the exclusive shops, no other city in the region can boast such a variety of contemporary attractions. But don't be fooled into thinking that modern hubbub is all there is - there are great surprises hiding beneath Singapore's shiny surface, including a unique rainforest reserve, amazing mountain biking and rock climbing opportunities and much, much more.

Introducing Singapore

While to some it may appear bland and soul-less, this sad stereotype couldn't be further from the truth. Beyond the glitzy modern buildings, the thriving industrial economy and the world-class hotels, Singapore still retains its authentic charm and natural beauty. As you will discover, the old myth that the city is completely urbanised is nothing but popular hear ‘say as you don't have to go too far to find remnants of the island's colourful past and its artistic community.
With a mixed ethnicity so rich and varied that few cities in Southeast Asia can rival, Singapore is the only place in the world where you can dive right into the cultures of Malaysia, India and China all in one day while still having time to enjoy a tasty cocktail against a background of ultra-modern Western buildings.
Stroll through Chinatown and browse its antique shops, have a fine meal at one of the many top-rated restaurants, go shopping mad at exclusive malls and boutiques and party the nights away at the eclectic mix of clubs. In Singapore you'll be spoilt for choice with so many things to do. What's even better and most reassuring; the safest of all cities in Southeastern Asia, Singapore is a refreshing playground that stands a world away from crime-and-poverty ridden Jakarta or Manila.
