Singapore is an island country in Southeast Asia.  It is about 140 km north of the equator, giving its warm tropical weather filled with lots of sunshine throughout the year.  The average daytime temperature is 31°C (88°F), dropping to around 24°C (75°F) in the evenings.

Travelling to Singapore is a breeze!  Singapore is well connected to the world by more than 100 international airlines flying to some 300 cities in around 70 countries and territories worldwide.

Singapore is a city of contrast.  It is East and West.  It is where the ideas of the future mingle with the ways of tradition, where one can enjoy breakfast with orangutan at the famed Singapore Zoo and another can groove to a different beat in the company of party animals.  Singapore offers many unique and enriching experiences, now and through the year.  Enjoy a rich events calendar, from world/class musical to boisterous festivals.  For culture vultures, museums and art venues are a must-see, and traditional Chinese operas have been and remain hot on the list.
