Visit Singapore

Travel Guide To Singapore

Singapore is one of the safest & most family friendly countries in world

Here I share my blog posts about ” Visit to Singapore” and its many attractions. Based on my trips to Singapore the city that derives its name from Sanskrit words – Singa meaning Lion and Pore  that denotes a City, hence Singapore literally means ” City of Lion” and thus they adapted Merlion as the City Mascot for Singapore.  In posts about Singapore I share tips on places to visit, Tips on Shopping in Singapore and great places to eat. This is an evolving category as I continue to visit Singapore again and again totally smitten by this epitome of excellence is city planning and execution both for residents and visitors.  But one thing is for sure no matter what kind of traveler you are Singapore has something to offer to you whether you are an adventure junkie, or a family traveler, a business traveler looking to sneak in some sight seeing. Also  in my opinion one of the safest countries to travel anywhere in the world.
