 Singapore!
Located at the tip of the Malay Peninsula,
Singapore's tropical climate welcomes both
leisure and business travelers year round.
The island republic's excellent infrastructure
enables visitors to enjoy its many sites and
attractions in a safe, clean and green environment.
Award winning Changi Airport provides airlinks
to major cities around the world. The train
and subway systems are clean, fast and efficient.
In addition, its state-of-the-art cruise terminal
has established Singapore as one of the premier
cruising centers of South East Asia and an
exciting port of call on any Asian cruise
itinerary.
In the city, there is no need for a car. Public
transportation is excellent and walking is
a good way to explore the city . All major
attractions are also accessible by tour bus.
Since the city is only 60 miles (100k) from
the equator, the tropical temperatures do
not vary much. Rainfall is fairly evenly distributed
through the year. No matter when you choose
to visit, warm weather will be abundantly
available. The visitor is struck immediately
by Singapore's abundance of parks, nature
reserves, and lush, tropical greenery.
North of the city, are two nature preserves,
Bukit Timah and the Central Catchment Area,
along with the splendid Singapore Zoological
Gardens. The east coast features good seafood
restaurants set on long stretches of sandy
beach. In addition there are over fifty islands
and islets within Singaporean waters, all
of which can be reached with varying degrees
of ease. Day trips are popular to Sentosa,
the island amusement arcade which is linked
to the south coast by a short causeway and
cable car. Music, theater, nightlife: all
are abundant in this remarkable city. Singapore
used to be considered a "stop over"
on the way to larger Asian cities. This is
no longer true! Visitors seek out Singapore
for business and finance and also for a fascinating
and satisfying vacation for the whole family!
