Singapore is a unique city state situated nicely on the southern tip of Malaysia. Once considered no more than a stopover to somewhere else, Singapore has emerged as a destination on its own. The Lion City is home to more than 6 million people, making it one of the largest populated city states.

Singapore has evolved from a small fishing village, most likely founded by the Chinese, to a thriving metropolis with tantalizing food, history, and a booming nightlife. Singapore has been influenced throughout history by the Portuguese, Dutch, Chinese, and the British. Since being released from British influence in 1965, the city has overcome many obstacles and become a popular tourist destination.

Noted for its highly efficient transportation system and its exceptionally clean environment, Singapore offers the world traveler the convenience of bustling city life while surrounded by lush, tropical jungles and picturesque beaches.
