Introduction

Singapore provides you with an unforgettable insight into the old world charms combined with exciting new world vision.

Throughout the Far East, the island of Singapore has a reputation for cleanliness, efficiency and conventionality. Not that this makes it any less exciting to visit, however. And its location at the tip of the Malaysian Peninsula makes it the true crossroads of Asia. Shopping is a major attraction here with antiques, electrical goods and clothes all excellent buys. Sightseeing opportunities include Chinatown, Arab Street and Little India, with a visit to the world-renowned Raffles Hotel for a Singapore Sling a must!

This dynamic city embodies the finest of both east and west, harmoniously combining culture, cuisine, arts and architecture.
