Singapore

It may be one of the smallest countries in the world, but Singapore offers a vast range of activities for the traveller, whatever their style. If you have a taste for the high life, visit the iconic Long Bar in the Raffles Hotel for cocktails. Food lovers will never tire of the many hawker centres or food courts where you can enjoy freshly-cooked food- Singapore’s quintessential dish, chilli crab, is a must-have!

The sprawling Gardens By The Bay showcases plants and flowers from around the world, and the Flower Dome – billed as the world’s largest glass greenhouse – houses exotic specimens, while the Cloud Forest simulates a mountainous region complete with ferns and a massive indoor waterfall.

Singapore is a great destination for shopping, packed with malls and retail centres. Try China Town for its stalls and flea market, or Haji Lane in the Arab Quarter, the home of vintage boutiques.

For a unique experience, head to Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. Here, you can take in panoramic views from an observation deck 57 levels above the ground, showing you the breadth and beauty of this diverse, vibrant city.
