Singapore
No question, this dazzling red dot just north of the equator serves up a dizzying blend of food, culture, infrastructure, shopping and history as varied as its nicknames. It’s also the cleanest and safest destination in Asia to explore with ease. Singapore boasts some of the world’s firsts too: the largest rooftop infinity pool, the Formula 1 night race, and the safari park for nocturnal animals. So whatever you fancy, rest assured that this island we call home will tickle it with fervour.
