Top 6 reasons to visit Singapore

                         Singapore is undoubted one of the world's most popular visitor destinations. It is the 5th most visited city by international tourist arrivals based on statistics and rankings by the World Tourism Organization.


Vibrant Entertainment and Lifestyle Scene
Singapore is a dynamic destination that offers a diverse range of exciting activities to suit the different interests of visitors, whether they are leisure or business travellers. Its story of continuing transformation delivers unique, personal and fresh experiences. In addition to the popular Singapore Zoo, Botanic Gardens and Night Safari, Singapore now boast attractions that draw even more visitors. Some of the favourites include the Marina Bay Sands casino hotel and its iconic Sands Skypark, Resort World casino resort and Universal Studios on Sentosa and Singapore Flyer, the giant Ferris wheel at Marina Bay. Adding adrenalin and excitement to Singapore's events scene is the world's only FORMULA ONE night race. The Grand Prix Season in Singapore presents opportunities for exclusive experiences for the discerning visitor, from F1 afficionados watching the race from the best suites, to non-race goers who just want to soak up the action outside the race circuit.24-hour entertainment precincts have also increased the appeal of Singapore's nightlife. Discerning visitors have a myriad of activities to indulge in and places to unwind at including nightclubs such as Pangaea, Avalon and Quaich Bar, Asia's largest whiskey bar in Resorts World Sentosa.
A safe, green and clean city
Singapore is considered by many as one of the safest city in the world. Thanks to a supporting government program dating from the ’60s, Singapore is also one of the world’s greenest cities. With a strict cap on the number of vehicles allowed on the island, and with more than 5 percent of the island reserved for nature, Singapore is literally a breath of fresh air. Lastly, the «Lion City» is admirably clean! Littering, spitting and smoking in public places is banned and verbalized, and all possible measures are taken to ensure an extraordinary cleanliness.
Melting Pot of Diverse Cultures
Singapore is a cosmopolitan society where people live harmoniously and interaction among different races is a common part of daily life. Visitors can enjoy the best of Chinese, Malay, Indian and Eurasian cultures through the many traditional and religious festivals that fill the Singapore calendar.Singapore is one of the world's best cities to celebrate the Chinese New Year; Hari Raya brings Malay festive decorations and food; the streets of Little India are rich with the sights, sounds and scents of Deepavali; and Churches sing with joy while Orchard road lights up during Christmas. The cultural and religious tolerance is most clearly illustrated by temples, churches and mosques located side by side on the same street.
An accessible and amazing airport
Easily accessible from all over the world, Singapore’s Changi International Airport is surprising! This astonishing airport feels like a tropical city, where everything is designed to make life easier. It feels cozy, with massage spots and an amazing garden bursting with cacti, orchids and a butterfly aviary. Changi looks like a luxury hotel, and you'll almost forget you're there to catch a plane!
Cheap to get around in public transport
Getting around Singapore is quite easy. Singapore public transportation system is among the best in the world. Mass Rapid Transit (MRT), Light Rapid Transit (LRT) or buses takes you to almost every corner of Singapore.
Food capital of the world
The city-state dominates the 'net with food blogs where hungry netizens compare, dissect, argue and swap foodie fodder, scouring the island for new tastes. And nearly every conceivable victual from every earthly corner has a home here. Fancy authentic Egyptian Baba Ghanoush? Arab Street's got you covered. Crave something Nigerian besides a scam e-mail? Find it on Verdun Road in Little India. If it's edible and fits on a plate, bowl, banana leaf or sheet of paper, we'll wolf it with zeal. But if you truly want to sample Singapore’s food culture, head to any of the hawker centers in the heartlands -- there’s a huge variety of stalls there at dirt-cheap prices.
