Singapore is a real mix of Asian cultures, attracting tourists from all over the planet. There are many attractions here: colorful ethnic neighborhoods, interesting museums, Muslim, Hindu, and Buddhist temples, gardens, and theme parks for lovers of beautiful vegetation, animals, and birds. Masterpieces of modern architecture and high-tech entertainment for the whole family. The diverse cuisine — finding Japanese, Chinese, or Malay food here is not difficult.
Singapore is rightly considered the capital of world shopping. The only difficulty: there is practically nowhere to swim — the beaches are closed to tourists, and the water is not clean. Hotels in Singapore with rooftop pools are the best option if you want to combine a “city” vacation with swimming and sunbathing.
