Singapore: Plan Your Tour to Singapore "Switzerland of Asia"

Singapore is a microcosm of Asia, populated by Indians, Chinese, Malays, and a large group of workers and expatriates from all over the world. Singapore has a partly deserved reputation for sterile predictability that has earned it descriptions like William Gibson's "Disneyland with the death penalty" or the "world's only shopping mall with a seat in the United Nations". Singapore is also known as “Switzerland of Asia”.



Singapore is in fact one of the most happening & enjoyable cities in Southeast Asia for travelers. With world’s best Singapore airlines, lushly tree-shaded expressways & roads, zippy MRT train line, you'll quickly realize this is one of the best places to visit. And as you stroll through the fashion emporiums of Orchard Rd, poke around antique shops in Chinatown or take a walk around one of the many beautiful city parks, you'll know the city bears no comparison to crime and poverty ridden Manila or Jakarta.



Few cities in Asia can boast Singapore's fascinating ethnic brew. Where else in the world can you dip into the Chinese, Indian, Muslim, Malaysian cultures all in one day, against a backdrop of ultra modern West? Not only has Singapore's history of migration left a rich cultural and architectural legacy that makes wandering the streets an absorbing delight, it has created one of the world's great eating capitals.



Cultural melting pot and dazzling example of the region's economic successes, wealthy Singapore assails the senses of the first time visitor.



It suits all budgets, too, presenting a happy collision of opposites - grand and expensive at the famed Raffles Hotel, but low-key and cheap (but good) in the food markets of Bugis Junction and Clarke Quay.
