Why now is the best time to visit the bustling city

This past year marked the 200th anniversary of the founding of the city-state of Singapore, and it's never been a more popular time to visit. There’s been a huge surge in interest in Singapore, especially now that the country has become renown for its dining, lodging and nightlife. The remarkable success of the film “Crazy Rich Asians,” which takes place partly in Singapore, hasn't hurt tourism, either. “For Americans visiting Asia for the first time, it’s the most easily approachable city," says Gary Leff, who runs the travel website “View From the Wing.” As Leff says, Singapore has become a great option for folks who want to stay in a bustling city with easy access to all of Asia, as there are “several non-stop flights from the U.S." to Changi airport, so "it makes a great stopover" for a few days. The official language is English, helping to make it an easier visit for any travelers who fear there might be a language barrier.
