What to do in Singapore
Start your Singapore holiday with a visit to the Colonial area around the Singapore River. Take in Orchard Road for some serious shopping, or head in to the Arab Street or Chinatown areas for bargain-hunting. Singapore is a real mish-mash of people and cultures, with items for sale and foods to eat from every corner of the world. Shopping and eating are the order of the day!
Where to stay in Singapore
Hotels are scattered all around the city, from the colonial area around the river where the city was originally founded, to trendy Orchard Road, Chinatown and Little India. Getting about Singapore is very straightforward, particularly with the efficient underground system, the MRT.
Holiday ideas to Singapore
Singapore can be visited as a city break, although most visitors use it as a stopover for a longer holiday to the Far East. Singapore combines well with most parts of Malaysia, plus Thailand, Bali, Vietnam, Cambodia and Hong Kong.
Singapore is a tiny country of contrast, where the traditional side of the Far East meets the modern. The City State leads the way in South East Asia's push for development, and makes a truly fascinating introduction to the region. The vibrant island of Sentosa is just 15 minutes from the city centre and has packed with themed attractions, while an hour or so away is the relaxed Indonesian island of Bintan, where quality hotels and lush scenery make it a perfect retreat from the city.
Suggested sightseeing
Footsteps of Raffles including Afternoon Tea
