Singapore is everyone's favourite holiday destination, but, that does not mean it can be stereotyped. On the contrary, Singapore has a knack to surprise and turn your holiday into a great adventure, no matter your tastes or interests.
Food is quite the attraction in Singapore, and why not! The country is made up of a multi-ethnic culture lending not only loads of culture, colours and traditions to the nation but a melting pot of cuisine that's, well, simply out of this world. Look forward to treating your taste-buds to traditional Chinese, Indian and Malay dishes as well as, diverse dishes from across the world; for Singapore is home to restaurants from some of the world's best countries loved for their exotic meals. Book yourself into one of the Singapore luxury serviced apartments and enjoy exploring the chic neighbourhood restaurants, catering to the adventurous foodie.
As mentioned before Singapore is home to a multi-ethnic culture and a very colourful past. Joo Chiat offers just this, with rows of colourful buildings withstanding the ravages of time. This historic quarter has much to be explored and will turn out to be a real gem for the culture buff. Don't forget the cameras, for the place is the perfect backdrop for some very stunning and impressive photos to show the folk back home. Guests at properties the likes of Ascott Raffles Place Singapore can make it to Joo Chiat in less than 15 minutes.
The architecture is impressive, especially when touring the historical sectors, dotted with ancient Chinese shop-houses and relics from the colonial era of Singapore. The country is also a modern hub, and one of the most progressive countries in south-east Asia. Hence, one is treated to a range of impressive sky-scrapers and futuristic looking buildings and parks.
No one should leave Singapore without experiencing Little India; the model neighbourhood which doses one with loads of vibrant colour, culture and lifestyles. The place is a good example of what to expect in India and is home to a local community mostly originating from India. The place is made up of local shops, colourful temples and plenty of restaurants to taste Indian cuisine.
Masjid Sultan is quite a beautiful structure, which has the knack to make one feel they are walking into Aladdin's palace in the Walt Disney classic. The mosque is located on Arab Street which on its own is quite a fascinating quarter to explore, and is made up of vibrant shops as well as cafes and restaurants, all foodies will love to explore.
Sentosa Island is your ticket to enjoying Singapore in real style. The little island is home to a range of theme parks and entertainment venues, amongst which Universal Studios takes precedence.
