Singapore is a very modern and cosmopolitan city that offers
all the best of East and West. An island of just 646 square
kilometres it is located 96km north of the equator.
For travellers whether leisure or business, few
countries are as convenient and efficient as Singapore,
everywhere is usually reachable within 15 minutes, taxis
are widely available (although when it is raining
getting a taxi can be quite a challenge) and the
underground system is easy to use and extremely
efficient.
Internet access is available pretty much everywhere
and many hotels, restaurants and cafe's even offer Wi-Fi
connections.
For holiday travellers, Singapore offers everything
you could want from a holiday, excellent restaurants,
security, excellent entertainment options and some of
the finest hotels melange of food in the world.
Singapore does have beaches, particularly on Sentosa
Island but we would recommend you to enjoy Singapore as
a city rather than a beach holiday. If you do insist on
a beach, you could fly to Thailand or another
neighboring country but you are probably best off
getting the ferry to Bintan (Indonesia) which is just
over an hour away.
The currency is the Singapore dollar (S$). Singapore
uses 1c, 5c, 10c, 20c, 50c, and S$1 coins. Notes are in
denominations of S$2, S$5, S$10, S$50, S$100, S$500, and
S$1,000.
Singapore's country code is 65. Business hours in
Singapore are from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m., Mondays to
Fridays and 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. on Saturdays. Shopping
hours are usually from 10 a.m. to 9:30 p.m. daily.
