The Republic of Singapore is a city-state and island country in Southeast Asia, just off the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. Comprising one magnificent main island, one outlying islet, and 63 exotic satellite islands and islets, Singapore is an intriguing, divine, and dazzling travel destination, offering inexhaustible adventuring opportunities within the city itself and its surrounding iridescent islands.
