Singapore

A bustling metropolis of skyscrapers and culture, it’s no surprise that Singapore has become one of Asia’s most popular travel destinations.

A melting pot of different cultures and cuisines, the island city seamlessly combines the best of Asia. Chinatowns in all their colourful glory, shophouses dating back to the 19th century, pagodas and auras of temples, are all part of the mix.

Behind the bright lights of Chinatown is great value dim sum, whilst Little India is a sensation for the senses. Wander past the pastel-painted facades of Malay-dominated Geylang Seari for a taste of days gone by, then stop off at the Colonial-style Raffles Hotel, birthplace of the Singapore Sling cocktail.

For a retreat from the hustle and bustle, take the cable car to sandy beaches on Sentosa Island which is just south of the city centre. Also here is Universal Studios Singapore which includes theme parks brimming with movie-themed rides and attractions such as Harry Potter’s Diagon Alley or Jurassic Park’s Lost Kingdom Adventure ride. As you would expect from host to one night race in Formula One®, Singapore is still very much alive

Although small enough to see on foot, Singapore has an efficient public transport system which extends as far as Singapore Changi Airport. With a choice of Singapore accommodation ranging from budget hostels to luxury hotels, Booking.com is bound to have the right choice for your holiday.
