Singapore Itinerary, 4 Days From India
Four days is plenty for Singapore: the gardens, the skyline, the food, the islands, and a day at the theme parks of Sentosa. Compact, spotless, and ultra-efficient, it is one of the smoothest city breaks you can take, and an easy add-on to a wider Southeast Asia trip.
