Singapore - The Lion City
A perfect blend of Chinese, Malay and Indian cultures, Singapore has something to offer to every human being. With population of over 5.5 million, the city-state in Southeast Asia boasts urban & natural attractions, delicious food, numerous shopping malls and an exciting nightlife. Home to the world's first safari park for nocturnal animals, the Night Safari and world’s largest rooftop infinity pool in Marina Bay Sands, a Singapore Holiday is quickly becoming everyone’s top choice. Other popular Singapore tourist attractions are Sentosa Island, Universal Studios, Gardens by the Bay, Merlion Park, Singapore Zoo and the Singapore Flyer. Another must-visit place is the Orchard Road, where you can shop till you drop and try out some of the best cuisines. The added benefit for Indian citizens is that Singapore Tourist Visa is processed in 3-5 working days.
