A city, island and country, Singapore has a reputation for different things. Some consider it the most important financial centre in South-East Asia, while others think of it as a sterile city where everything runs like clockwork. Both these assumptions aren't that far away from the truth. This may not paint the most colourful picture in the world though. But don't fret - there is a lot to see. Singapore has a beach to bask in, stores to shop in, sights to snap at, and some of Asia's most fascinating neighbourhoods. Whether your trip is part of a journey around South-East Asia, or as a stop-over to or from Australia, you're bound to enjoy your stay.
