Travel in Singapore?

A city-state that is oh so clean, bursting with shopping malls, has tiny tropical islands off the coast and where the Raffles Hotel has become world famous: this is Singapore! From Orchard Road to Little India and from China Town to Arab Street. The orchid is the national flower and you will find this special plant everywhere. Also special is the traditional architecture combined with futuristic buildings with vertical gardens.
Singapore is a paradise for shopping. A visit to one of the many impressive shopping malls is therefore a must.
In Little India you can escape from the busy city life and imagine yourself in another world. Surprisingly enough, many Indians live in Little India and therefore it is also full of Indian shops and restaurants.
Chinatown is located right next to the Financial District and sometimes still has an authentic Chinese atmosphere. Because there are many tourists who find Chinatown interesting, a lot of trinkets are also sold. In the meantime, many clothing manufacturers from India have also settled between the Chinese shops and you can buy a nice suit very cheaply. The Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum in Chinatown is also worth a visit.
Eating in a food court or a hawker center is cheap and an experience in itself. The many smells that come your way when you walk through one of these busy places make it difficult to choose.
The Singapore Flyer is a Ferris wheel that is located in the Marina district. From the closed cabins you have a beautiful view of Singapore.
Sentosa island, a small tourist paradise with everything: beaches, hotels, sports facilities and attractions. Two things are definitely worth it: Underwater World and Dolhpin Lagoon and Butterfly Park.
You can eat well along the water along the quays of the Singapore River. Boat Quay and Clark Quay are popular places to eat out.
Orchard Road is the street with the most shopping malls. A number of shopping malls are home to the entertainment venues. These bars and clubs usually only open after the shops have closed. The famous Raffles hotel is a beautiful building in colonial style.
The colonial center is beautiful. Here you will find the parliament building, the Asian Civilizations Museum and the Art House. A nice photo spot is the statue of Sir Stamford Raffles with the Singapore River and the skyscrapers on the other side in the background.
Make sure you do not commit any violations in Singapore, because the penalties are not light. Singapore is also an incredibly clean country, so throwing a piece of gum on the street is quickly seen as a crime (resulting in a huge fine).
Be prepared that despite the high penalties, pickpockets are a plague for travelers in Singapore.
