Singapore Guide
Hotels: Singapore is well served by an array of lodgings catering for the needs of all types of traveller. Cheap accommodation is on hand for those traversing the backpacker trail through south-east Asia, while mid-priced hotels such as the retro Hotel 1929 and the Berjaya Duxton cater for those with a little more cash. Elsewhere, you can lounge in luxury at the classically styled Raffles Hotel or the Pan Pacific Singapore.
Attractions: As well as the usual city attractions such as museums, gardens and impressive monuments, Singapore offers a diverse range of sights that reflect its status as a truly multicultural region. Check out the various 'ethnic quarters' - including Little India, Chinatown and the Malaysian Geylang Serai - or explore the numerous places of worship, such as the Armenian Church, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and the Central Sikh Temple, among others.
Shopping: Singapore is a haven for those who love to shop. If you fancy some late night retail therapy, the Mustafa Centre in Little India is the only 24-hour department store in Singapore and sells a wide variety of goods. If you prefer a more relaxed environment, head to the bohemian Holland Village and grab yourself a bargain antique or film souvenir. There are a number of tax-free outlets throughout Singapore, so keep your eye out for those if you're on a tight budget.
Excursions: With Malaysia being just a short train or ferry ride away, it makes sense to take the opportunity to visit while you can. You could also fly to other nearby countries for a weekend excursion - head north to explore the mystique of Thailand, Cambodia and Vietnam, or go south to exotic Indonesia.
Family: Young animal lovers will find much to occupy themselves with in Singapore, such as a visit to the Dolphin Lagoon, Jurong BirdPark or Singapore Zoo. Elsewhere, the futuristic Images of Singapore museum offers a hi-tech insight into the city's history, while the Singapore River provides activities such as cruises and tours.
Getting Around: If you're likely to use the bus and mass rapid transit (MRT) system a lot, get yourself an ez-link card to simplify matters. Both standard and tourist buses are on hand to ferry travellers around the city, while the MRT offers a speedy way of getting to Singapore's major areas of interest. Taxis and hire cars are also on hand.
