dest.about Singapore
Singapore is one of the world's great city-states — a dazzling fusion of Chinese, Malay, Indian, and colonial British cultures compressed into an island smaller than London. The futuristic Gardens by the Bay, the iconic Marina Bay Sands infinity pool, the hawker centres serving some of Asia's finest street food, and Changi Airport (consistently rated the world's best) make Singapore a destination that rewards every type of traveller.
