In September, the city will then host the most dynamic race in the F1 calendar, the 2016 Formula One Singapore Airlines Grand Prix. This long weekend of racing, live music and more, held from September 16-18, is the most anticipated event of the year and should not be missed. Entertainment planned for this year's race includes live performances from Kylie Minogue, Bastille, Pentatonix and Queen with Adam Lambert, so there’s lots to look forward to, both on and off the track.

Welcome to Singapore! As the year hurtles by at its customary breakneck speed, we look back at two of the best recent events to take place here

This issue features our expanded travel section, where we focus on ideal destinations in the region for a memorable off-the-beaten track city break. We look at the exciting launch of Bawah Island, discover the magic of Nihiwatu on the island of Sumba and enjoy the beauty of Yangon and Inle Lake in Myanmar.

Fortunately, in this issue we have a whole wonderful selection of calmer and more serene things to do! We explore the lesser known a districts of Singapore, Katong and Joo Chiat, enjoy the Malay culture in Kampong Glam, then visit the exceptional Botanic Gardens which are not just full of plants but full of history as well.

In our fashion focus, Michelle Yee talks to homegrown Singaporean designer Danelle Woo about the local fashion scene and her popular label Aijek, while we learn about The Affordable Art Fair through an interview with Fair Director Alan Koh. Don’t forget to keep up-to-date on all the latest events and happenings on our website, Instagram and Facebook page. Happy travels!

April will also be a big month for sports lovers as the city welcomes the HSBC World Rugby Sevens Series to the Sports Hub for the first time. As well as the excitement of the rugby competition, there will also be a series of music events over the sevens weekend, including a three-day live music festival at Clarke Quay. With so much fun to be had, this promises to be a weekend to remember.

Romance is also in the air in February so we’ve compiled a selection of some of the best special menus available and a list of restaurants around the city that are better suited for a romantic rendezvous. With our recommendation for a top flourist, you’re guaranteed a good head start in any matters of the heart.

In this issue we look back at some of the year’s highlights, both in a photo essay and in interviews with some of the city’s current movers and shakers. Our festive guide will point readers towards the best places to feast and party, while our shopping guide will highlight some of Orchard Road’s lesser-known hidden gems.

If you ever needed an excuse to come to Singapore for a long weekend, the coming two months promise to be the most exciting of the year. As Singapore gets ready to throw a huge party to celebrate its Golden Jubilee in August, it will then host the most anticipated race in the F1 calendar in September, the 2015 Formula One Singapore Airlines Grand Prix. This long weekend festival of racing, music and more is to many by far the best weekend in the year and is highly recommended.

For a different type of high, June and July mark the annual Great Singapore Sale, a fantastic time to take advantage of discounts, promotions and special privileges around all the city’s main shopping districts and plazas. With the city continuing its 50 years of independence celebrations, visitors can expect even bigger and better bargains, especially along the legendary Orchard Road. In recognition of the pioneering spirit of trader C. K. Tang, who is widely regarded as the man who started the retail business in the Orchard area, we visit the latest incarnation of his iconic store, the home to many a bargain in the coming months.

In this issue we take a visual journey through Little India, one of Singapore’s more colourful neighbourhoods, and visit the bustling streets of Kampong Glam, located around the atmospheric Haji Lane, for some unique boutiques and cafe culture. For those looking to visit the city, we present our guide to some of the best accommodation options available, depending on what flavour you want your Singapore experience to be – for the frequent visitor, we encourage you to explore a new area and experience something new.

Welcome to the third issue of Now! Singapore. Every issue so far we’ve had something to celebrate and this issue is no different. February sees the city celebrating a month of romance before welcoming the new lunar year on February 19th. Chinese New Year is a great time to visit the lion city with the streets of Chinatown decked in their finest livery and the population in a fine festive mood.

If ever there was an ideal time to visit Singapore, then 2015 is surely the year. The following 12 months promise to be an exciting period, as 50 years is celebrated across the board. The city’s numerous museums and public spaces will be at their best, and with the eagerly awaited opening of the new National Gallery, art and history lovers will experience a city that has quickly developed into one of the world’s most happening arts scenes. Occupying the impressive former City Hall and Supreme Court buildings, and covering a massive 64,000 sqm, this will be one of the largest galleries in Asia.

At Now! Singapore, we will reveal more of this diverse city’s character, introducing our readers to the more colourful sides of the city not often featured in the international travel media.
