Singapore
Singapore packs gleaming skyscrapers, colonial shophouses, and lush tropical gardens into a single compact island city-state, where hawker food stalls sit steps away from Michelin-starred restaurants. It's one of Asia's most efficient and cleanest hubs, prized as a stopover destination in its own right as much as a gateway to the rest of Southeast Asia.
