Singapore

Located in South-East Asia, Singapore includes the island of Singapore and 58 or so smaller islands. The city blends Malay, Chinese, Arab, Indian and English cultures and religions. A full calendar of traditional festivals and holidays celebrated throughout the year adds to its cultural appeal. In addition, Singapore offers luxury hotels, delectable cuisine and great shopping. If you do only one cultural thing during your 24-hour Singapore layover,visit the Chinese Hwritage Centre where entire sets of bedrooms, kitchens and street scenes from the late-19th century and early-20th century have been faithfully recreated. It's an authentic slice of Singapore's history that's made all the more fascinating by the gleaming skyscrapers just a few blocks away - and a great break from the shopping! dfdfg
