Sassy Singapore

THIS NATION MIGHT BE tiny but packs in a punch with the sheer variety of experiences. Buzzing, eclectic and constantly evolving, Singapore, often dubbed as the gateway to Asia, lures the experiential traveller. Begin by exploring the lush gardens that comfortably rub shoulders with tall skyscrapers, from

Fort Canning Park to Gardens by the Bay. Let the city lights dazzle you at night as you watch the world go by from the many restaurants and bars dotting Clarke Quay and Dempsey Hills. Explore the neighbourhoods of Chinatown and Little India, and the local Peranakan culture, from museums to traditional houses.

Each part of the city offers something different--From edgy Haji Lane and the neighbourhood of Kampong Glam filled with colourful shops, eateries and galleries to Orchard Road and Harbourfront for retail therapy. Food is a big deal wherever you go, so be prepared for flavourful excursions, whether it’s sampling fiery Singaporean chilli crab or laksa at a hawker stall to some of the best Michelin-starred restaurants in Asia and globally-recognised bars. Singapore is quite cycle-friendly, so if you’re looking to explore the many sights and sounds of the city, that’s the way to do it. visitsingapore.com/en/
