Singapore
Considered to be one of the most tourist-friendly destinations in the world, Singapore ticks all the boxes for a stellar holiday. From Michelin-starred restaurants to hawker-style fare and some of the best bars in Asia, there’s no dearth of culinary experiences to try out in this city-state. The nation might be small but packs in a whole lot of things to see and do. Indulge in retail therapy on Orchard Road, explore vibrant neighbourhoods like Katong-Joo Chiat, Little India and Kampong Gelam for street art, hip cafes, and kitschy shops. Soak in the lush greens at Gardens by the Bay, and marvel at shophouses and traditional Peranakan homes that comfortably rub shoulders with modern structures. visitsingapore.com
