A fascinating destination in its own right

Singapore is often considered a stop-over destination for those looking to reach far flung parts of the world. Travellers from the UK to Thailand or Australasia will often stop off at Singapore or Hong Kong. However, this city state is a fascinating destination in its own right and has plenty to offer visitors.

First of all, there’s the food. Singapore is a rich tapestry of Chinese, Malay, Indian, Japanese, Thai and other Asian peoples, and each has brought their cuisine with them here. Explore Little China or Little India and you’ll be able to sample a host of delicious dishes from the street stalls for next to no cost.

Around the riverside area of Singapore, a vibrant, elegant night-life scene has blossomed, with plenty of classy bars and restaurants to explore. For those after a shopping break, Orchard Road has endless shopping malls and boutique fashion shops. And for families, why not take a trip to Singapore Zoo or Sentosa Island (Singapore’s answer to Disneyland).

Travel cover in Singapore – An important part of your holiday planning

However long you plan on staying in Singapore, it’s prudent to invest in good quality travel insurance for trips to Asia. Singapore does not have a free healthcare system and healthcare tends to be expensive. Diseases including Scarlet Fever, Dengue Fever, Foot and Mouth Disease and chikungunya periodically break out in the country.

Comprehensive travel cover will take care of you if you need emergency medical treatment, pay for repatriation back to the UK by ait ambulance if needs be, offer cover for lost or stolen belongings and give funds for legal assistance.
