Singapore – an interesting melting pot of cultures

Singapore has all the ingredients for a perfect holiday: the heart of a big city, lush parks, great shopping, quaint beaches, exciting cultural experiences and delicious food.

Singapore is one of the smallest independent states in the world, but don’t let the size fool you! Namely, Singapore offers such a huge range of attractions, experiences and cultural sites that just a walk around the city is in itself an unforgettable experience.

One of the most interesting sites is Gardens by the Bay, which is an excellent example of Singaporean green architecture. In the middle of the park, the famous Supertree trees rise towards the sky in all the colors of the rainbow. A light show every night illuminates the trees incredibly beautifully, and the lights change from the loud sounds of the park to the rhythm of the echoing music.

If shopping is your thing, take advantage of the excellent shopping on Orchard Road and Marina Bay. In splendid malls, touring is a fun experience even when shopping is already done. Air-conditioned malls also act as cool boilers when mercury rises to a halt. Marina Bay Sands is a famous hotel and entertainment center whose architecture is worth seeing: on top of the three towers rests a kind of ship loaded full of fun things to do.

Singapore’s diverse food culture definitely deserves a special mention. Whether you’re looking for honest street food or Michelin restaurants, here you don’t have to suffer from hunger. The so-called Hawker Centers – found everywhere – are food markets where you can sit under the open sky and enjoy local delicacies. The city’s most famous food street is Keong Saik Road in China Town, with the best restaurants in Singapore in charming and well-preserved houses. Singapore is a true food paradise!
