Singapore
Singapore, one of the smallest and most densely populated countries in the world, consists of one central island and more than 60 smaller islands, off the coast of the Malay Peninsula in Southeast Asia.

In addition, it is worth visiting the Southern Ridges, a strip of about ten kilometers with green open spaces that extend over hills and gardens.
In addition, the food and beverage options in Singapore are endless, and it is worth knowing that 49 of the island's restaurants hold one or more Michelin stars.
