If you are planning to go on a holiday, you should consider Singapore. Singapore is a country located in South East Asia, just south of Malaysia. It is a small city and has a population of around 4 million. Singapore is not a typical Asian country as it has a very strong British influence which can be seen in everything from architecture to politics. It is also famous for many things, such as having the best airport in the whole world. Therefore, I strongly recommend that you visit Singapore for holidays.

Every year, Singapore attracts millions of tourists. Why is this so? There are many popular places to visit in Singapore and many tourists like what we have here. In this article, let me share with you some popular tourist attractions here.

1. The Night Safari. The Night Safari is located at the Singapore Zoo and is the first night safari in the world. It allows visitors to view a large number of nocturnal animals at night, in their natural settings. When you visit Night Safari, it feels like you are in a jungle. Singapore Zoo has over hundred species of animals for you to visit. If you intend to visit Night Safari, be sure to take note of the opening hours. It opens daily from 1930hour until midnight.

2. Sentosa Island. If you are a beach and sun lover, you cannot afford to miss out Sentosa. It is an offshore island of Singapore and it has been developed into a major tourist attraction. Recently, one of the biggest shopping centers in Singapore - Vivo City, was built there. You can do a little shopping and take a cable car from Vivo City to visit Sentosa.
