It's hard to imagine that only 200 years ago, Singapore was just a tropical speck on the map. Nowadays it's a dynamic, modern city boasting one of the world's busiest ports, whilst still retaining an air of elegance from its former colonial days.

Travel back to the time of Sir Stamford Raffles, founder of Singapore in 1819, as you enjoy high tea (and maybe a Singapore Sling) in the colonial splendour of Raffles Hotel. Experience panoramic views from Mount Faber, treat your taste buds to exotic dishes, visit the Singapore Art Museum or haggle for bargains along colourful Arab Street.
