Experience Travel Guides, the guides the Travel Industry trusts, are unique in that they are designed to be read in the same way as a novel. They are a valuable resource for those planning to visit a destination, a source of information for those just interested in finding out more about a country, and a pleasure for those armchair travelers who just enjoy a good read. Experience Singapore highlights the visitor attractions so that those planning a visit can quickly and efficiently plan on what they want to see and do. We locate and detail the best places to see and the top experiences to enjoy, and recommend accommodation, shopping and eating options. All are based on the personal experience of the author. We capture the personality and the underlying cultural and historical significance of the city. Come with us as we explore the wonderful temples, mosques and churches, the few remaining unspoiled natural areas, the historic colonial section, the fantastic shopping opportunities and the exhilaration of the various ethnic zones. Meet a great variety of people, buy the latest gadgets, fashion, and fascinating handicrafts, eat tantalizing cuisine, and enjoy charming hospitality. As more people travel to new destinations, guide books grow in importance. Hard-copy books, however, are often out of date before they are printed and users are frustrated by experiences contrary to what is described. This book has no such problem as it was updated in January 2017 and can be updated as often as necessary to keep it right up to date. Be aware that many internet sites provide out of date or inaccurate information. We have done everything possible to ensure our information is up to date and we will continue to update the book as necessary. Please realize, however, that no guide book can substitute for common sense. Singapore is a hot tropical country so you need to pack clothing, footwear and other items, such as sun protection, appropriate for those conditions. There are a few restaurants which still require men to wear a jacket but in line with most places in the world, smart casual wear is now considered appropriate for tourists in most situations. Note that many mosques and temples require conservative dress so shorts, rubber shoes and bare shoulders will not be acceptable. We believe that every place in the world provides unique experiences which make a visit worthwhile. We encourage you to explore, meet the locals and grab each new opportunity as it arises. Travelling is fun but always do it with care and compassion. In that way your Singapore experience can provide lifetime memories.
