Travel Tips : What To do in singapore
Singapore is a popular tourist destination in the Asia-Pacific region. Its truly multicultural heritage is reflected in its vibrancy and diversity. With an area of 274.1 square miles, Singapore is slightly bigger than Chicago, but the sheer number of tourist attractions it has to offer, means that one doesn't run out of options. Although there have been settlements in Singapore as early as the second century AD, the credit for founding modern Singapore goes to Sir Stamford Raffles, a British statesman.
Singapore is a Buddhist-majority state, with Muslims, Christians, and Hindus being the other major dominant religions. This versatility makes it a culturally diverse country, that appeals to most tourists around the world. Singapore also earns brownie points because of the fact that English, which is one of its four official languages, is widely spoken and understood around the country. Singapore has a thriving economy, and many international brands have their presence there, earning it the sobriquet 'Shopping Capital of Asia'. All in all, Singapore has numerous tourist attractions, which can appeal to everyone from a laid-back backpacker to somebody on a business trip with some time on his hands. Here's our take on Singapore's top ten tourist destinations.
