A cultural melting pot, Singapore's unique neighborhoods are shaped by Malay, Chinese and Indian influences. Celebrations such as Chinese New Year, the Muslim celebrations of Hari Raya Puasa in June and the Hindu Deepavali festival of lights in October attract thousands of visitors to the island each year.
It's hard to beat Singapore if you're looking for the perfect island for a family vacation, a romantic break or a fun shopping and sightseeing trip. The tropical climate, the friendly locals, or the huge range of shops, museums, galleries, restaurants and attractions; there are so many great reasons to visit Singapore.
Although Singapore is the world's second most densely populated city after Monaco, almost 50 percent of the island is green. The island has more eco-attractions than anywhere in the world and parklands as varied as the Botanic Gardens and the jungles of Pulau Ubin have paved the way for newer developments like the Green Corridor leading to the River Safari at Singapore Zoo, the refurbished Admiralty Park and the Gardens by the Bay where spaces include the Cloud Forest, the Flower Dome and the Supertree Grove. Be sure to catch the spectacular light show - every evening at 7:45 pm.
Visit in mid-June to July for the Great Singapore Sale. Prices are slashed in shops and stores all over the island including the famous shopping districts of Orchard Road, Dover Street Market, Haji Lane, and Bugis Street.
It's no surprise that art, culture, music, and creativity are taken seriously in a city that was designed by some of the world's leading urban and environmental planners. Events like Singapore Art Week in January and the Singapore Writers Festival in November feature local and international talent. Music lovers will delight in huge events like the Ultra Music Festival in September, Neon Lights in November, and St Jerome's Laneway Festival in January.
Singapore's famous skyline is recognized all over the world. The highest skyscrapers include One Raffles Place and Republic Plaza while newer builds like the striking Marina Bay Sands towers add to its allure. Visit one of the city's elegant sky bars like 1-Altitude or Cé La Vi for the best skyline views.
Whether you're an outdoor enthusiast, a history fan, or a shopaholic, you'll find plenty to keep you busy in Singapore. Learn about the island state's history at the National Museum of Singapore or take the kids to the Mint Museum of Toys. Visit theme parks like Wild Wild Wet or Universal Studios Singapore or try Haw Par Villa, a park containing thousands of Chinese myth-inspired statues and dioramas.
