We guess that Marco Polo already in the year 1292 visited a pulsing city at the place,
that we call now Singapore. But officially Sir Thomas Stamford Raffles, who arrived
in 1819, is called the founder of this city.

The major area of Singapore is part of a peninsula that is separated from Malaysia by the "Street of
Johor". An other 58 islands belong to this city state, too.
For visitors it is very interesting to see the melting pot of various cultural groups and to get
knowledge of their different rites, customs, religions, cultures, and cuisines.

Besides the modern city centre and shopping area, Chinatown, Little India, Kampung Malay are famous tourist
attractions.
In Singapore's centre many streets and houses from the city's colonial epoch have been replaced by very
modern and futuristic architectures and have changed the image of this city completely during the last 20 years.
Singapore presents itself as a clean, vivid, and busy city - at day as well as at night.
With its well organized subway system and bus transportation it is easy to explore Singapore cheap and
without any hassle.

At night people love to walk along Singapore Rivers, making reservations for dinner at one of those
restaurants along "Clarke Quay" before its to crowded there. But even a walk on busy and
crowded "Orchard Road" or at "Bugis Centre" invites for sightseeing,
shopping and dining.
