Singapore is definitely Asia’s global city and the as one of the richest nations in the world it exemplifies the statement- size does not matter. The Asian capital of global finance, Singapore may simply be about business to some people – but it definitely is a place that can offer much more to those who want to mix business with pleasure. After a busy day at work, you can opt for an evening stroll by the Marina Barrage or go for a boat ride and be captivated by grandeur of the Singapore Flyer and the city skyline and laser shows.

You could even try your luck at the Marina Bay casino. If you are there for a pleasure trip with your family or friends, Sentosa Island, Marine Life Park and Universal Studios should be top in your list. And if you thought Singapore was only about glass & steel, think again, as the city was recently voted as the greenest city in Asia by The Economist magazine. Gardens by the Bay, an ambitious 250-acre nature reserve, won the building-of-the-year prize at the World Architecture Festival for its glassy, hill-like main building, which houses attractions like the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. Singapore is also offers vibrant multicultural experience with a collage of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures. So pack your bags and get ready for a dazzling experience at “the red dot”.
