More About Singapore


Little India, Singapore

Stroll the Neighbourhoods

The best way to explore Singapore is to simply wander through its eclectic array of neighbourhoods. Immerse yourself in the sights, sounds, and scents of Little India, a vibrant neighbourhood bursting with colour, culture and ornate temples like Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple and Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple. Head to one of Singapore's oldest and most colourful neighbourhoods - China Town. Visit the historic Thian Hock Keng Temple or sample authentic street food favourites.

Gardens by the Bay, Singapore

Gardens by the Bay

Step into a world of wonder at Gardens by the Bay, a futuristic oasis nestled in the heart of the city. Explore the iconic Supertree Grove, where towering tree-like structures come alive with dazzling light and sound shows each evening. Wander through the lush greenery of the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, home to exotic plants and breathtaking indoor waterfalls. Don't miss the chance to stroll along the elevated walkway of the OCBC Skyway for panoramic views of the gardens and city skyline.

Sentosa Island

Sentosa Island

Escape the hustle and bustle of the city and retreat to Sentosa Island, a tropical playground offering endless entertainment and relaxation options. Lounge on pristine beaches, take a dip in crystal-clear waters or embark on thrilling adventures at attractions like Universal Studios Singapore, S.E.A. Aquarium, and Adventure Cove Waterpark. Don't miss the chance to catch the mesmerizing Wings of Time show, a spectacular multimedia extravaganza set against the backdrop of the open sea.

Singapore

When to Visit

Singapore can be enjoyed year-round. But we think the best time to visit is from February to April when the weather is dry and there are numerous festivals to enjoy including Chinese New Year and Holi. Why not mix your sunshine escape with an enriching experience of vibrant celebrations?

Marina Bay, Singapore

Where to Stay

A city-state with fantastic public transport links, no matter where you stay, you’ll be able to effortlessly explore Singapore. However, for first-time visitors, we recommend staying in the Marina Bay sands area. Located in the centre of the city, Marina Bay overlaps with the Central Business District, the Civic Quarter, and trendy Clarke Quay, so you’re never far from the action.

Food in Singapore

Food & Drink

With bustling street markets, where vendors sell traditional Chinese herbs, souvenirs, aromatic spices, and traditional Indian sweets, there is always a mouthwatering taste waiting to be discovered in Singapore. Indulge in aromatic curries, crispy dosas, and refreshing mango lassi at local eateries in Little India. Try the best Hainanese chicken rice at Maxwell Food Centre in Chinatown. Or pop your bibs on and crack open some delicious chilli crabs.
