home > Singapore > Singapore Known for its cleanliness and lack of crime Singapore is a thoroughly modern and hi-tech city with an ancient heart. A population of Chinese, Malay, and Indian cultures add colour and charm to a city that could be otherwise be cold and impersonal. If the high-rise architecture and mod cons become all too much, take a trip to Little India and wander among the stalls selling exquisite Sari cloth or learn about feng shui in Chinatown.   The bus service in Singapore as can be expected is efficient and comprehensive as well as being cheap. Taxis abound and can be flagged down or found at taxi stands near shopping centres and major hotels. The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) subway system is another convenient mode of transport and regular ferry services operate from the World Trade Centre to Sentosa and other islands. All major rent-a-car companies have branches in Singapore should you prefer the independence afforded by hiring your own vehicle.   Changi International Airport is considered one of the finest in the world and its ultramodern facilities include every possible convenience from meditation centres to elegant little boutiques.
