Singapore Travel Guide: 11,398 reviews and 26,445 photos

Merlion statue facing the bay - Singapore

Originated from the words singa (lion) and pura (city), this country/island/city is modern and westernized, very clean and almost spotless.

Many people come to this country for business or shopping, but Singapore has more to offer. For people who like culture and nature, Singapore has some places where you can find them.

Pros and Cons

Pros:Transportation is good, city is clean and safe.
Cons:Not really a problem, but no real native culture, all mix of Chinese, Indian, Malay and Western.
In a nutshell:Very accessible, clean and safe

Last visit to Singapore: Aug 2006

Zindy, nice Singapore page! I must be blind...I did not see the bungy at Clarke Quay when I was there in October. It would have been fun.
