The site’s current theme is “Singapore in Spring. Where Culture Meets Chic.” Indeed, the first three months of the year are an opportune time to visit Singapore, and the “Events in Spring” section has a video that showcases cultural events from Chinese New Year celebrations in Chinatown, to “The Merchants of Bollywood” play, the Fringe Festival, and more. But brace yourself; the video is vibrant and full of sweeping landscape shots complete with a beautiful guide and exploding fireworks.

The “Shop/Eat/Chill In Singapore” section underscores the many modern amenities Singapore offers in terms of shopping malls with luxury retailers such as Giorgio Armani, Prada, and Cartier. As far as eating is concerned, Singapore’s culinary scene is the confluence of ancient history and cultures with modern techniques and tastes. There is something for every palate. And the Jurong Bird Park and Sinema Old School – an indie cinema where you can watch “locally-produced” films – are ideal places to chill.

Of course, it is difficult to capture the living soul of a location in a website, but visitsingapore.com does an admirable job of presenting its many attractions to tourist of every ilk – from shoppers to foodies. As far as learning about Singapore’s history, however, you’ll just have to visit the city yourself.
