A cultural crossroads in Southeast Asia

Taking a trip to Singapore means having the confidence to discover a visionary and cosmopolitan country. A country that attracts more and more tourists to Asia.

A visionary and cosmopolitan country

Singapore, an archipelago of one main island and about sixty islets, has a wealth of geographical and tourist assets. The capital of this small Asian country welcomes travelers in both authentic and luxurious buildings. Visiting this multi-ethnic and passionate country allows you to experience unique cultural and culinary experiences.

What to visit and do in Singapore

At the heart of the ever-evolving modern city, Singapore’s attractions abound. Two casinos, the Marina Bay Sands complex, the Universal Studios amusement park or the magnificent Gardens by the Bay make this small city a world tourist destination. Do not hesitate to go to Merlion Park, where Singapore’s emblems are indispensable, and Gogreen Segway Eco Adventure to enjoy one of the most beautiful beaches in the country!

Prestigious hotels and great restaurants

5-star residences often offer gourmet restaurants specializing in Indian or Singaporean cuisine. On the menu, fish curry, Rojak (vegetable salad) and Satay (meat skewers) dare to mix spices and flavors. Many stop at Orchard Road, Little India or Chinatown for an afternoon of shopping before boarding the return flight.
