Singapore must be visited at least once in a lifetime. This small and magnetic country not only offers an experience of contrasts, due to its innovative skyscrapers, restaurants and architectural monuments, but also offers a complete immersion in a garden city full of parks and green spaces. In addition, this summer it will be even easier to travel to the Asian country, since Singapore Airlines will add two new direct flights from Barcelona, ??between July 3 and August 29. These two weekly flights will complement the five that the company already offers via Milan, providing the passenger with a daily flight from Spain, a unique opportunity to make an express getaway to the luxurious Asian city.
That’s right: nature rises to the top of the buildings in Singapore, impregnating its streets, terraces, homes and offices with green tones full of life. It is no coincidence, then, that it has become such a clean and green metropolis, which has a sustainable city system, with great architectural, cultural and citizen security references. Therefore, Singapore offers a futuristic experience while concentrating one of the largest business populations, so the visit allows one to discover some of the most spectacular proposals for innovation, multiculturalism, and luxury in the world.
Architecturally, in addition, Singapore combines tradition and avant-garde in the same reinvented space with world references such as the iconic Raffles Hotel, the three towers of the Marina Bay Sands, the Museum of Art and Science or the Gardens by de Bay; some gardens that occupy more than 100 hectares in the center of Singapore in which the main attraction are structures up to 50 meters high that function as vertical gardens. Another major tourist attraction is its elegant shopping avenue, Orchard Road, which, almost 2.2 km long, brings together more than 20 shopping centers. Its wide variety of shops and restaurants promise to satisfy all tastes and pockets. An authentic oasis for shopping fans.
On the other hand, the city itself is a sample of cultural and religious diversity, which is reflected in its architecture and local cuisine, mixing flavors from different cultures such as Chinese, Indian or Malaysian. This combination has made Singapore a foodie paradise for foodies who can sample everything from Michelin-starred dishes to the mouth-watering creations of local chefs and street vendors located like ‘Hawkers Centres’. The experience is so unique that its culture has been declared an Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity by UNESCO.
Recently, the Singapore Tourism Board has launched SingaporeRewards, a new program that offers free experiences in Singapore to short-stay international visitors by providing them with unique and highly exclusive experiences.
Singapore is synonymous with a 360-degree experience that begins as soon as you land. Changi Airport, one of the best in the world, is an unbeatable gateway to any point in Southeast Asia, the South West Pacific and North Asia. In addition to being a full-fledged logistics hub, it is also the first tourist stop in the city, thanks to a list of the most attractive proposals. From the architectural beauty of its terminals to the recreational activities, such as the cinema or its butterfly or sunflower gardens, Changi offers a welcome from the height.
Directly connected to Terminal 1, Jewel Changi Airport is Changi’s latest retail and entertainment complex. With a natural theme, it houses the highest covered waterfall in the world and a series of exciting playful attractions for the little ones. From wandering through mazes, slides and suspended nets at Canopy Park to exploring the virtual world of Changi Airport through interactive games and projections at Changi Experience Studio.
For its part, the country’s airline, Singapore Airlines, has one of the most modern and young fleets of aircraft on the market with an average age of 6 years and 8 months and also has excellent cabin products that can satisfy the needs of each traveler profile.
In addition, it is one of the fastest and most comfortable options for traveling from Spain to Southeast Asia thanks, among other things, to its extensive network of flights, which connect Singapore with the most strategic points on the Asian continent. Awarded year after year for its excellent service on board, the company stands out for flying from Barcelona with an Airbus A350-900, one of the most modern and efficient aeronautical models. One more reason that underlines that Singapore will be, without a doubt, the ‘big scale’ of next summer.
