Singapore

The Lion City — Where East Meets West in Dazzling Style

Best Time: Feb – Apr 4–6 Days SGD (Singapore Dollar) Visa Free for Indians (30 days)

Asia's Most Extraordinary City-State

Singapore is a city that defies expectations at every turn. In just 60 years, this tiny island nation has transformed itself from a colonial trading post into one of the world's wealthiest, cleanest, and most innovative cities — a place where futuristic architecture rises from lush tropical gardens, and where the food scene rivals that of cities ten times its size.

The city's extraordinary diversity — Chinese, Malay, Indian and Western cultures living side by side — is expressed most vividly in its neighbourhoods: the colonial grandeur of the Civic District, the neon-lit streets of Chinatown, the aromatic lanes of Little India, and the hip cafés of Tiong Bahru.

Singapore is also the perfect gateway to Southeast Asia — a hub for exploring Bali, Bangkok, Kuala Lumpur and beyond. But with Gardens by the Bay, Universal Studios, and the world's best hawker food, it deserves far more than a stopover.
