Singapore

Elect's take

"Singapore operates at a standard of efficiency, cleanliness and hospitality that is genuinely exceptional. As a city destination it offers a concentration of world class experiences that few places can match and serves as an outstanding gateway to the rest of Asia."

Singapore's food culture is one of the great pleasures of Asian travel. The hawker centre tradition means outstanding food is available at every price point. The fine dining scene is equally impressive with a strong concentration of Michelin starred restaurants. The Gardens by the Bay is one of the most spectacular contemporary public spaces in Asia. The cultural neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam reflect Singapore's remarkable multicultural identity.
