Description: The tropical city-state of Singapore may be small, but it packs a punch with a wealth of dazzling modern attractions, while also being a unique melting pot of Asian and Western influences. Whether you want to shop till you drop on Orchard Road, soak up the sun on Sentosa Island or simply sip a Singapore Sling at Raffles Hotel, Insight City Guide Singapore will make sure you have the quintessential Singapore experience. Features by local writers delve into topics including the country's famous love of food, lively festivals and nightlife, while evocative accounts of the city's districts bring Singapore to life, from the recent high-end development at Marina Bay to the colourful bustle of Little India and Kampung Glam.
