SINGAPORE

Singapore is both, a city and a country. As country, it is a Republic of Singapore since 1963 when it declared independence from Britain. It is the major and busiest Southeast Asian Port and commercial center.  As city, it is modern but has well preserved colonial architecture, shopping centers and recreational parks.

Sentosa Island is the recreational side of Singapore with resorts, beaches, parks and restaurants.

Merlion, a symbol of Singapore, is well visible from all angles and one of major attractions. It is an amazing sculpture of a lion head and body of a fish and dates to the 12th century modest beginnings as a fishing village and legends of Singapura – Lion City. 

Singapore has a rich history starting in the 16th century as a settlement destroyed later by Portuguese invasion. Singapore was rebuilt in the early 1800 by Sir Raffles and flourished since. Hotel Raffles commemorates this great achievement. 

For many Orchard Road has allure and is a true shopping paradise. And it is not just latest fashion and cosmetics. Singapore has the best price on the latest electronics.

Singapore is a delightful destination. It offers excellent entertainment, great shopping and relaxation in grandiose, colonial environment of Raffles Hotel or Vacation Island, Sentosa.
