Singapore Tourism

Being an island off southern Malaysia, the city- state is home to plenty of beaches and therefore is an adventure hub when it comes to water sport activities. But that’s not all. Singapore is also high sightseeing junctions and exciting attractions waiting to be explored. Who would have ever thought that once a sterile land could burst into life and transform into one of the most visit tourist destinations across the globe. Singapore is no less than a fairytale. A 'City in a Garden' they call it and this little island well deserves that title. If you're here to explore the wild side of the city, you have rainforests home to monkeys, racket-tailed Drongos and more, mushy land home to lobster, humongous lizards, a variety of fruit bearing plantations and the list goes on.

Singapore can also be perceived as a shopper’s paradise. Right from malls to street shopping you have everything right here. The city is filled with island fun, beaches, secluded beaches, museums, gardens and more. It redefines the idea of fun and hence is adorned so much by its tourists. Another reason to visit here is obviously the heavenly food. Chili spiked crab is what the city is popular for but there's a plethora of dishes you should try otherwise as well. Whether restaurant or street food, you're going to love it all here.

Singapore is a blend of the old and the new when it comes to architecture. Around the city you will find olden temples and tall skyscrapers, both. The island city is also a blend of the Hong Kong wet markets, the street shopping of Mumbai, India, and Pat pong Bangkok.

    • Visa requirements for Malaysia varies from country to country so depending upon your country you may or may not require a visa. When it comes to expenditure, it depends upon the hotel you choose to stay in. If you choose a budget hotel and use public modes of transport, your cost will come down. But if you choose lavish accommodation and hire a private taxi, expenditure will increase.
