Singapore Travel Guide
To some, Singapore has all the ambience of a supermarket checkout lane. The tiny city state has frequently been dubbed sterile and dull and for those who fail to venture beyond the plazas lining Orchard Road, this is not surprising. Despite its brash consumerism, Singapore is certainly not without its charm. Ethnically diverse, it is famed for great food – particularly in Chinatown, Little India and Arab Street – and cheap electronics. For those stopping over in Singapore for just a few days, there are several key sights that should not be missed, such as the Singapore Zoo and the superb National Museum of Singapore. Read our Singapore travel guide to find out about these and more.
