About City

Singapore is an island city-state located in Southeast Asia and is officially known as the Republic of Singapore. It lies in the southern tip of Malay of Peninsula. Singapore is characterized by a hot and humid climate. The island does not have clear-cut seasons like summer, spring, autumn and winter. It is located just 1degree north of the equator. Rainfall is almost an everyday phenomenon.

Singapore is a global hub for education, entertainment, finance, healthcare, human capital, innovation, logistics, manufacturing, technology, tourism, trade and transport. The education system in Singapore has been noted to be one of the best in the world. Singapore promotes itself as a medical tourism hub, with about 200,000 foreigners seeking medical care there each year.

In the city, there is no need for a car. Public transportation is excellent and walking is a good way to explore the city . All major attractions are also accessible by tour bus. Since the city is only 60 miles (100k) from the equator, the tropical temperatures do not vary much. Rainfall is fairly evenly distributed through the year. No matter when you choose to visit, warm weather will be abundantly available. The visitor is struck immediately by Singapore's abundance of parks, nature reserves, and lush, tropical greenery.
