Famous for its iconic cityscape, Singapore presents a stunning nighttime spectacle. The Marina Bay Sands, a massive hotel complex, provides the perfect spot to see the illuminated skyline.

The chic Haji Lane area features boutiques such as Know It Nothing that stay open late and offer cutting-edge designs. Nature lovers should check out Night Safari, the world's only nocturnal wildlife park.
Many people travel to Singapore exclusively to sample the cuisine, and locals consider the preparation and consumption of food as a veritable national pastime.
