TRAVEL & LEISURE GUIDE IN SINGAPORE
There's
never a dull moment in Singapore! No matter what your interests are, there
is always something to captivate you.
The Great Outdoors
It is apparent how Singapore earned its reputation as the Garden City
. Generous pockets of lush gardens and tropical greenery co-exist with an
urban landscape. Singapore is one of the only few cities in the world to
have a significant area of primary rainforest within its boundaries.
Weekend Getaways
While the smaller islands around serve as idyllic playgrounds for sea
sports and sun-worshipping, Singapore, being only a few hours away from
countries in Asia, becomes the ideal hub for travellers interested in this
region. With excellent connections by air, rail and sea, exploring the
exotic East will be a breeze.
Spas
If rejuvenate thyself is your mantra and pleasure your destination, do
check out the Spa scene. They have
plenty of indulgences on offer—and pampering yourself in a spa comes with
health benefits to boot!
Family Fun
Singapore offers several fun things to do with your kids, from pure
entertainment like magic shows and carnivals to educational outings and
outdoor adventures. Those inclined to learning can choose from a range of
courses in creative thinking, speech, drama, art and computers, among
others.
The world's highest observation wheel, The Singapore Flyer, is expected to
be a major tourist attraction by 2005. And while Singapore already has an
enviable set of public libraries, book-lovers may rejoice in the fact that
a new 60,000 sq metre National Library is set to woo readers in 2004.
Culture and History
If heritage beckons, then a visit to the Philatelic Museum may be just
the thing. At the Asian Civilisations Museum, one can marvel at the
artifacts and collections that mark Singapore's history and the
civilisations of Southeast Asia.
Sports & Recreation
Sporting activities rank pretty high among the things Singaporeans enjoy
most. Be it for leisure or competition, indoors or out, Singapore is a
sports-mad city.
