It was not so long ago that Singapore was a destination that few but the wealthy could afford to visit, but with the growth in cheaper flights, and with the ongoing quest for year round sun, Singapore is now firmly on the tourist map for European travellers. Despite the long-haul flight it is possible to visit Singapore on a budget it just ...  Read the complete review

When you pass through immigration at Singapore's gleaming new Changi Airport, the official who stamps your passport will smile and offer you a sweet. There is a bowl of them, individually wrapped in waxed paper, ready on his desk. My wife and I smiled in return, accepted the offering, and passed through towards the baggage collection ...  Read the complete review

Uniquely Singapore!! This is this city's catch phrase. It can be seen on signs as soon as you walk off the plane the moment when you do depart and they wish you a found farewell as the plane departs this fine city. I am not sure what I thought I would expect from Singapore. However, whatever it was did not even compare to what I found ...  Read the complete review

Our trip was booked independently flying with ...  Read the complete review

The name Singapore was derived from Singa (Lion) ...  Read the complete review

Singapore is my favourite city in the world. It’s clean, polite, efficient and well organised. I visited in between my visits to India and Bali so I didn’t notice the extreme heat. Singapore is incredibly humid though but everywhere has efficient air conditioning, including the tube. Top tips: You can find ...  Read the complete review

My travels took me to Singapore a couple of months back, and I thought I'd share my thoughts on the place. Like many visitors, I was there on a 5 day stopover to Australia, and was staying at the apartment of some friends who are studying over there at the moment. It's weird, but the first thing that really hit me about ...  Read the complete review

I recently stopped over in Singapore for a brief stay on my way from Thailand to China, a first visit in fifteen years back to the country of my birth and early childhood. I will not bore you all here with my reminiscences, or the places I visited which could only possibly be of interest to me, or the friends I met up with and stayed with, but ...  Read the complete review

It's one of the safest cities in the world and is easy to get around. There's loads of shops, and whilst hardware electronics them sleves are of course cheaper than in ...  Read the complete review

We had the pleasure of taking our annual holiday last year to Singapore. We stayed at the Shangri-La hotel, which is a really lovely hotel, and I will surely write an op on this shortly. For the most part, Singapore is a clean and sterile city. There are beautiful, modern buildings throughout the city. There are some ...  Read the complete review

Michael Jackson is, to put it at its mildest, somewhat eccentric. So when the legendary rock star decided to visit Singapore, this island nation prepared itself for the arrival of one of its most elusive and demanding visitors. Mr. J announced that he was staying in Raffles Hotel, named after the founder of Singapore, Sir Stamford ...  Read the complete review

I travelled to Singapore on my way to Malaysia and stayed for a few days. Unfortunately due to lack of funds I could not stay longer as it is a very expensive place to stay. Myself and husband checked into a backpackers hotel in the city in a place about 15 floors up. We refer to it as the 'shoebox' as it was a room divided ...  Read the complete review

Leaving Singapore airport, as the doors open the heat from the outside hits you, you almost feel winded by it. There are two very different sides to Singapore, there is the city centre which is very clean, and if you litter or drop your cigarette butt, you will be fined $50. There are specially made ashtrays on the tops of the ...  Read the complete review

Singapore is one of the best organised cities I have visited. At first sight it looks like many other cities - all high rise blocks and it has a hot stticky climate but ... It is very easy to avoid the worst of the climate - there are so many air conditioned shopping malls but be warned when it rains it pours. Also there are a few gems of the ...  Read the complete review

Singapore: Claimed by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1819, Singapore has grown from what was a jungle island into one of the Asian powerhouse economies. I lived and worked here for a global broker company for 3 months and left the country with mixed feelings. Undoubtedly, the country is clean, safe and attractive (for a city-state) but in being ...  Read the complete review
