For an island state of its size, Singapore punches above its weight. It is jam-packed with attractions, making it popular for shopping, sightseeing, dining and fun experiences.
This melting pot of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western influences has the food, architecture and culture to show for it.
What’s more, there’s always something new to see as the Garden City keeps upping the ante each year – impressive for a former trading outpost founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819.

Marina Bay and Esplanade
Now the island state’s focal point, Marina Bay is home to the iconic Merlion and Marina Bay Sands, the awe-inspiring Art & Science Museum, the Waterfront Promenade, the Helix Bridge, the new Gardens by the Bay and the Esplanade Theatres – one of Singapore’s top performing arts centres.
Sentosa
