Singapore is a small island country in Asia. But don’t let its size tell you otherwise. This small country has a lot to offer and has a place and activity for everyone. From fun amusement parks and adventure sports to art museums and temples and monasteries, from local street food to adventure sports to luxury hotels, from lush green parks to stunning waterfront views, Singapore is the perfect blend of modern meets traditional.
