With flourishing green spaces, well-preserved historical landmarks and cutting-edge technology, Singapore has the best of all worlds. Reeking of artsy and cultural spaces, Singapore is easy, even for a first-timer traveller abroad. Its public transport system is simple to navigate, the hawker centres are safe and squeaky clean and while most faces seem glued to a screen, people are friendly.

The culture of Singapore is anamalgamation of Asian and European. Hailed as a country where "East meets West", Singapore is greatly influenced by Malay, South Asian, East Asian and Eurasian cultures. The best way to experience the medley of cultures in this port city is to walk through its ethnic neighbourhoods like Kampong Glam that boasts of old-time Malay traditions or Katong/JooChiat that is all about Peranakan culture. Chinatownand Little India are some options too. If walking around is not preferable, head straight to the museums like the Singapore Art Museum, the National Museum or Asian Civilizations Museum. The Singapore Botanic is the first and only tropical botanic garden on the UNESCO’s World Heritage List and is a must visit spot too.
