Religious diversity in the community is highlighted with the Hindu Sri Mariamman Temple, the Buddhist FukTakChik Temple, the Sultan Masjid (mosque), the Thian Hock Keng Temple and the Armenian Church. Tourists race towards contemporary art landmarks like the Marina Bay Sands Integrated Resort, as well as the national Flyer, a gigantic Ferris wheel carrying a series of observation decks serving as restaurants. Its position is just next to the shores so as to allow views till the horizon beyond this country, while rotation allows the variation of views.

Objective generalizations are just as hazardous to people of different tastes as generalizations generally are... unsurprisingly, Singapore, or any country for that matter has everything for everyone at any time of the year. But for convenience of first-timers it would be necessary to point out that much of the mainstream events and celebrations are held between late June and early October. Again for weather-wise travellers, this is the stretch they prefer the most.

This is where one sees the country at its most elemental. Tourists of almost all kinds and creeds can have access to both the local culture as well as their own particular imported trends.

Progress on the global stage has led it to hosting the Grand Prix annually, along with music festivals, an Art Festival, as well as Jewel and Food Festival; always welcome sights for those booking cheap flights to Singapore during the peak-season.

With its hospitality industry being the livelihood of the country, Singapore has progressed phenomenally in terms of facilitating the highest standards of luxury accommodation.

Towards the eastern riverfront and the main riverside banks and beaches, there are resorts present which focus on relaxation therapy and spa services. The non-commercial districts towards this side cater for budget accommodation, which mostly consist of economical backpacker hotels. For optimal utilization of land under federal planning, which is a major concern since the country you are visiting is a small one, almost all the hotels are established in the form of multi-story buildings, with combined pools, main lounges, reception restaurants and entertainment facilities being the cultural trend for accommodation.
