Discover The Contrasts Of Singapore

A true Singapore experience is many things; it’s one of culture and history, of gourmet dishes and shopping, of experiences like nowhere else.

Singapore’s modern metropolis is built atop an eclectic patchwork of cultural precincts that give the city its vibrant flair. Wander the streets of Little India and Chinatown, or explore the newly trendy micro-‘burbs’ of Tiong Bahru and Everton Park. Join a walking or heritage tour to get a glimpse into local life and hidden gems, from historic shophouses to local museums and galleries. For retail therapy, head to Orchard Road after sundown, or pick up a quirky souvenir from the Supermama gallery store.

Eating could be considered a national pastime in Singapore, so it's no surprise the island is a haven for culinary delights, from the cheapest Michelin-starred street food in the world to globally acclaimed gourmet establishments. With a blend of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Western fare, eating here is serious business. For a taste of everything under one roof, head to a hawker centre for the ultimate sampler (think chilli crab, chicken rice, and laksa), or take in the city skyline with a cocktail, or two, at one of the many rooftop bars.

From its clean and orderly streets to inviting tropical islands, there are unique experiences that make Singapore unlike any other city in Asia. Walk atop the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay and stay for the free daily light and sound show at night; don’t miss out on Night Safari, a nocturnal zoo that covers seven geographical zones; or veer off the beaten path to an island like Pulau Ubin to experience rural Singapore.
