Why Visit Singapore?
Singapore is an amazing country that offers a unique blend of modern and historic attractions. It’s a melting pot of cultures, with its population made up of people from different backgrounds and ethnicities. In this article, we will delve into some of Singapore’s most popular tourist attractions as well as some lesser-known places that aren’t on most people’s radar when visiting Singapore but are worth exploring once you get there.
Singapore is known as one of the cleanest, safest and most organized cities in the world. It’s also a cultural melting pot with food that rivals anything you’ll find in China or Thailand. In this post, we’ll tell you why Singapore should be your next travel destination!
It’s super clean.
Singapore is a clean city. The Singapore government spends a lot of money cleaning up the streets and public areas of the city. The cleanliness of Singapore has been voted as one of the best in the world.
Singaporeans are taught from an early age to keep their surroundings tidy and clean. This means that you will rarely find any litter anywhere in Singapore, even though it is not an offence to throw rubbish on the street or leave it behind after eating outside your home (something I have seen people do at times). In fact, if you are caught littering and caught again within 2 years, you could face fines or imprisonment!
The food is amazing.
Singapore is known for its food. The city-state’s culinary heritage is a unique blend of Malay, Chinese and Indian influences – and it shows in Singapore cuisine’s varied flavours. Try traditional favourites like chicken rice or nasi padang (spicy meat with rice) at one of the many hawker centres in Little India or Chinatown or explore modern twists on traditional dishes at one of the island’s various Michelin-starred restaurants like Odette or Rang Mahal.
It’s a cultural melting pot.
It’s a cultural melting pot. The population of Singapore is made up of people from all over the world, which makes the country a rich and diverse place to visit.
The food culture here is also nothing less than extraordinary: you’ll find everything from French cuisine at Les Amis to traditional Asian dishes in Maxwell Road Hawker Centre.
It’s one of the safest places in world!
Singapore is one of the safest places in the world to visit. In fact, it’s the second-safest country on Earth (after Iceland) according to an annual Gallup poll that measures how safe people feel in various countries. This is largely due to its low crime rate: The country has less than 1% of violent crimes and fewer than 2% of property crimes per 100,000 citizens each year—on average, there are just three homicides annually. There are also very few incidents of car theft or kidnapping and practically no terrorism.
To support this reputation as a safe destination, Singaporean police officers have been known to walk around crowded areas with open umbrellas during rainy weather, so they’ll be easily identifiable by tourists who need assistance while walking through busy streets at night.
The shopping is out of this world.
While many of the shopping centres are air-conditioned, you’ll find that most of them are still open to the outside world. In fact, some of them have large open spaces where you can enjoy your lunch or dinner while enjoying the fresh air. What’s more, these shopping centres are clean and well-lit at all times. There are also good facilities such as toilets and baby changing rooms available in each one of these places, so you won’t have any trouble finding what you need when it comes time to visit one of these great places for shopping in Singapore!
You can see some of the world’s most beautiful animals.
Singapore is home to some of the world’s most beautiful animals, including pandas and orangutans. The Singapore Zoo is one of the biggest in Southeast Asia, with over 2,500 animals on display. If you are visiting with children, you can take them to visit these beautiful creatures as well as many others at the aquarium. There are also many other activities for children to do such as taking a ride on an elephant or feeding elephants in their natural habitat at Night Safari.
Orangutans are by far one of my favorite animals in Singapore and I think everyone should see them at least once during their trip here. They have a very human-like quality about them which makes it easy to relate and connect with them instantly!
There’s lots of things to do with kids.
Singapore is a great place to visit with kids. There are lots of family friendly attractions and activities, from zoos and museums to theme parks and animal farms. There are many family’s friendly hotels, resorts, restaurants and cafes as well.
Pub Street is like no other place on Earth…but be sure to bring your credit card because it isn’t cheap!
Pub Street is the most popular area of Phnom Penh. It’s a place where you can go out, meet people and make friends.
Pub Street is also the best place to go out and eat or drink. There are many bars, restaurants and clubs along it so you’ll never be short of entertainment.
But be careful: Pub Street isn’t cheap!
Alright, so there are great reasons to visit Singapore, but it does get very expensive!
So, you know that Singapore is a great place to visit, but it can be very expensive. If you’re on a budget or have lots of money, it’s the perfect place for you!

Kampong Glam
The name Kampong Glam is an amalgamation of Malay and Arabic words, translating to “old village.” With a history that goes back to the 18th century, this district has been home to both colonial settlers and immigrants from China and India, giving it a strong colonial flavor with touches of Southeast Asia. This area still retains some of its old architecture: if you want to see traditional shophouses in Singapore, this is where you should go.
Kampong Glam offers visitors plenty of great food options, including many delicious Chinese restaurants plus Indian eateries serving up local favorites like roti prata (a crispy flatbread) or nasi lemak (a coconut rice dish).

Tiong Bahru was built as part of a government initiative to create affordable public housing. It was completed in 1953, with the first residents moving into their homes that same year. The neighborhood has since become one of the most sought-after places to live in metropolitan Singapore because it offers easy access to many amenities while still maintaining peace and quiet–a rarity in this bustling city!
Orchard Road
Orchard Road, also known as the “shopping belt” in Singapore, is a stretch of road that runs through the city and is home to many shopping malls. There are hundreds of shops here, with brands like Prada and Louis Vuitton lining the streets.

Orchard Road also has many restaurants and hotels along its length, making it an ideal place for tourists to stay while they’re visiting Singapore. The street can get very busy at night when commuters go home or people go out on dates or nights out with friends; however, this doesn’t deter visitors from coming here during daylight hours because there always seems to be something interesting going on around every corner!
