Singapore is called the City of Lion. Why? The legend goes that when a Malay prince made landfall to his newly conquered land, he stood face to face with that predator. A fishing settlement was established on the site. Merlion, a lion with a fish tail which refers to that legend, is today the symbol of the courage and entrepreneurship of Singaporeans. Don't forget to pose for a photo at the fountain depicting it in Merlion Park.

You will surely recognise the characteristic silhouette of the Marina Bay Sands complex. The ship resting of the roofs of three 55-storey skyscrapers is known from the "Crazy Rich Asians". It is associated mainly with a luxurious hotel and an amazing infinity pool. Standing on the neighbouring viewing terrace, you will be amazed by the splendid panorama of the city. The complex includes also a shopping centre with an underground river which you can cruise on board a sampan. In search of a more intellectual form of entertainment, you will find the adjacent ArtScience Museum. In the evening, you must see the spectacular light and sound show.

Nearby, you can find another must-see site in Singapore – the Gardens by the Bay, where you can have a rest from the hustle and bustle ot the big metropolis among beautiful plants, mysterious sculptures and iconic "supertrees". In the crowns of these futuristic structures, you will find a restaurant and a sky promenade which offers breathtaking views. When it gets dark, the "superttrees" erupt in effusion of lights and music. You must also visit the supermodern greenhouses which will transport you to a tropical forest. This is the greatest attraction in Singapore!

The constantly vibrant Chinatown is an important element of the city's cultural mosaic. Here, you will find the Temple and Museum of Buddha's Tooth, as well as alleys packed with shops, stalls with souvenirs and atmospheric bras, including the world's cheapest Michelin star restaurant.

The Singapore metropolis impresses visitors with the number and surface of its recreational grounds. We suggest that you take a long walk from the Telok Blanagah Hill to the Mount Faber Park, which are connected by the Henderson Waves, Singapore's highest footbridge.

The Peranakan Museum deserves particular attention among Singapore's numerous museums and galleries. It will introduce you to history of the country and the ethnic identity of its residents, particularly the stories of the descendants of the Chinese and Malayan immigrants.
