Singapore
Singapore packs a remarkable amount into a small, spotless city. Marvel at the Supertrees of Gardens by the Bay, the view from Marina Bay Sands and the colourful streets of Little India and Chinatown.
Sentosa island is the family playground, with Universal Studios, the S.E.A. Aquarium and beaches. Add the Night Safari, the Singapore Zoo and plenty of hawker-centre food, and it is easy to see why it is so popular. It also combines well with Malaysia or a cruise.
