Singapore, strategically located at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula, has been the gateway to South-East Asia for years. Modern Singapore was established in 1819 when Sir Stamford Raffles used Singapore as the regional base for the British East India company. This tiny island of 633 square kilometres boasts one of the world's busiest harbours and airports.
The mystique of Chinatown and Little India is combined with a rich mosaic of cultures, scenery and natural beauty. Major attractions include history, Asian art forms and exotic cuisine. Singapore is a bustling city with first-class hotels and a pulsating nightlife. Also known as 'The Lion City', Singapore is an easy, safe and comfortable destination.
