Singapore was a success story from the start. It was founded as a British trade colony in the early 1800s and since then, has been growing both economically and physically at one of the fastest rates in the world. It now has more than 50 skyscrapers and thousands of other high rise buildings, mainly situated in the business district, The Downtown Core. The best way to view this incredible skyline is from the newly built, Helix Bridge which gives one the chance to admire the whole area.
Singapore, strangely enough also the name of the capital, is located at the southern point of the island (which is 3.5 times the size of Washington DC.). Malaysia at its North Border is separated by the Jahore strait, with Indonesia, another group of islands out to the south-east. Singapore’s port is one of the busiest in the world. So if you’re looking for a few days of relaxation why not hop on a cruise and discover the hidden jewels of the far-east. But you have to get there first, so let travelspec.com take care of that for you and find you the cheapest Singapore flights around.
