Singapore

What Singapore lacks in size, this tiny city-state makes up in excitement and seemingly endless activities. Catch a whiff of street food or sight an ornate temple just around the corner — your senses will lead you deeper inside this cultural melting pot. With so much to discover, it's no wonder that the Lion City has become a top destination in Southeast Asia. Also known as the "Merlion City," it is home to a multicultural society living harmoniously, creating a unique cultural landscape.

Singapore has a lot more to offer than its concrete jungle surface suggests. To truly experience the city means to savor food in its many forms, from cheap and cheerful hawker fare to haute cuisine at Michelin-starred restaurants.

After shopping and visiting world-class attractions, replenish your energy at one of the green spaces spread across the island. Visit Gardens by the Bay in the city center or venture further south to Sentosa Island. It sure helps that Singapore has one of the world's most efficient public transport systems.
