Singapore

City Guide Singapore is a full-color guidebook to one of Asia's top destinations. Our Best of Singapore section recommendations will help you make the most of your time, selecting where to go for the best shopping, festivals, markets, temples and much more. In-depth essays explore the city's history and culture, its prosperous economy, diverse population, and superb cuisine, while the Places chapters cover all the major sites, such the Civic District, where Stamford Raffles first landed, the colorful hubbub of Chinatown with its temples and markets, the gleaming shopping malls of Orchard Road, and atmospheric Little India. We provide comprehensive, opinionated hotel and restaurant recommendations for each area of the city, plus the nightlife hotspots - and of course where to shop till you drop. Our specially commissioned color photographs bring the many facets of Singapore, and its surroundings, to life.  Navigation is made easy with 12 detailed color maps linked to the text by numbered dots, plus an 11-page indexed street atlas.
