Singapore – The small Asian giant – Travel Tips
It’s hard to believe now, but there was a time when flights to Singapore were nothing more than a stopover on the way to another destination. This couldn’t be further from today’s reality: this stunning city has reinvented itself into a bustling metropolis and one of Asia’s most exciting destinations.
And, unsurprisingly, for many travelers visiting Singapore is not so much about what you can see, but what you can eat. This destination for gourmets boasts one of the world’s most diverse and fascinating gastronomic scenes: Malaysian, Indian, Chinese, European and Middle Eastern delicacies will compete for your attention. There are restaurants and cafes to suit all budgets in Singapore, whether you’re celebrating a special occasion at Michelin-starred Jaan or grabbing a bowl of laksa noodles for cheap at a stall in the Maxwell Road Hawker Centre.
When you’ve recharged your batteries, there are plenty of nightclubs to enjoy until the early hours, and when you want to relax and recuperate, the city’s hotel offerings are truly impressive. Much of its accommodation offerings are destinations in themselves, such as the historic Raffles Singapore, where Alfred Hitchcock and Ernest Hemingway once stayed (though not together). In addition to the big luxury chains, there are also mid-range boutique hotels and hostels to accommodate travelers on more modest budgets.
