Singapore: A bust Metropoh’s city

Singapore is a bustling modern metropolis and a common stopover for travellers. Famous for its shopping and food, Singapore is also a great introduction to Asia. Clean, ordered and affluent, here you can dip your toe into Chinese, Indian and Malay culture with none of the hassle. You do not have to be a retail junkie or foodie to have fun in Singapore.

Non-shoppers can potter around the mosques and cafés of the Arab quarter, nose into the shops of Chinatown, have breakfast with an orangutan at Singapore Zoo, catch a show at the Esplanade or have their fortunes told by a parrot in Little India. Experience the breath-taking panoramic views on Asia’s tallest freestanding tower ‘Carlsberg Sky Tower’, where you can even spot Indonesia and Malaysia in the horizons. Explore the rain forest at Bukit Tomah Reserve. Potter around Chinatown and tuck in at the food stalls while you’re there. Take a ‘night safari’ at the impressive zoo. Singapore is very humid for most of the year. November and December are usually the coolest, wettest months. Chinese New Year (January/February- date varies year on year) is a great time to visit.
