There’s no denying that there’s something uniquely special about Singapore. The city is such an intoxicating blend of colourful culture, extraordinary architecture, tangible energy and the finest cuisine. Confident about its future, yet proud of its past, the soaring new landscape of world-class hotels comfortably rubs shoulders with glorious reminders of the city’s grand colonial heritage. There’s a remarkable range of attractions and you’ll find the people very friendly and welcoming, with service almost elevated to an art form. Orchard Road is world famous for its shops and you’ll literally be dazzled by the number of ultra-modern malls selling electrical, photographic and designer goods, as well as delightful local handicrafts. Or explore off the beaten track where you’ll find tailors who can make you a stylish jacket in a matter of hours, or hidden spas where you can escape to a world of unbridled sensual pampering.

With beautiful parks, gardens and nature reserves, as well as its 63 surrounding islets, Singapore is also great for getting out and about. There are some outstanding golf courses and rock climbing and mountain biking are also popular. Or take to the water for excellent diving, water skiing and other watersports. A stunning cable car ride across the harbour to Sentosa is a must and Jurong Bird Park and the Images of Singapore museum are highly recommended. Nobody returns from a holiday in Singapore without talking about the food – it is quite simply superb. At any hour of the day or night you can treat your taste buds to an exquisite array of mouthwatering flavours in the thousands of bustling restaurants. Then enjoy one of the best nightlife scenes in the world with ultra-chic bars, classy nightspots and world class entertainment.

Food and Drink
Singaporeans are passionate about food and eating. In almost every corner of the island you will find an endless variety of food and the cultural diversity of this cosmopolitan city offers an array of flavours - Chinese, Malay, Indian and much, much more. For a gastronomic treat, Iggy’s unique blend of European, Asian and Australian ideas and ingredients is a must. We also love the French dishes at Au Jardin Les Amis, in an elegant colonial house at The Botanical Gardens and Garibaldi for its mouthwatering Italian cuisine. For the best Chinese and seafood cuisine, No Sign Board restaurant is truly excellent. And make sure you sample the famous Singapore Sling at Raffles, a timeless tradition.
