Singapore is a tiny city-state in Southeast Asia. It is referred to as the “little red dot” on the map and has a total area of 721 square kilometres (278 square miles), which is split among 63 islands. The Sanskrit phrase ‘Singapura‘, which combines the terms “lion” and “city,” gave it the moniker “Lion City,” which is a translation of the Sanskrit term. Singapore, which started out as a modest fishing village, has grown into the second-most developed country in Asia, behind Japan. Singapore’s sophistication and desire to constantly raise the standard of living for its citizens are what make the city-state so alluring.
Following the introduction of the concept of Singapore as a “Garden City” in 1967, the nation has transformed into a lush orchard where flowers, plants, and trees are blooming everywhere. The nation emphasises the concept of discipline and highly appreciates the diverse combination of cultures and faiths brought by migrants from Western nations and Chinese, Malays, Arabs, and Indians. Sate your desire to travel. See Lion City’s attractions and my list of entertaining things to do in Singapore.

Have a luxurious, romantic evening at the Raffles Hotel.

The hotel initially opened its doors in 1887, and since then, many celebrities and royals have stayed there, including Michael Jackson, Charlie Chaplin, Queen Elizabeth II, and Nobel Prize winner Rudyard Kipling. The Singaporean government recognised The Raffles Hotel as a national monument in 1987. To leave the hotel without having a Singapore Sling would be unpardonable!
