Monocle reports from around the globe in print, on radio, and online. As its editors and correspondents dart from city to city, they get to know the best places to rest their heads, stretch their limbs, and kick back with a contact in a hard-to-find cocktail bar. That information is now available in The Monocle Travel Guide Series: a line-up of titles that speaks to you in an informed but informal way about everything from architecture to art, late-night bars to early-morning markets. These are books that go beyond the traditional tourist beats to make sure you get the best out of a city - no matter how short your stay. Designed to be compact and collectable, they are also discerning; Monocle's team won't list a hundred places to eat but they will tell you where's best for everything from some tasty fast food to something truly celebratory. Cities are fun. Let's explore.
Gone are the days when outsiders struggled to pinpoint Singapore on a map; this equatorial city-state is making waves across myriad sectors from health to logistics. Its skyline has taken shape at a blistering pace with numerous attention-grabbing architectural accents. Singapore can still surprise though: quaint colonial-era shop houses sit anachronistically nestled alongside skyscrapers; temples, mosques, and churches share the same streets and open-air food courts sell tasty street food just steps away from fine-dining establishments. With a decidedly global outlook, the country embraces all things hi-tech and modern while having one foot firmly rooted in tradition. The Monocle Travel Guide to Singapore will equip you with the know-how to explore beyond the obvious. We've scoured the city-state for the top restaurants and kueh (confectionery) shops and listed the independent retailers selling goods that embody the best of "brand Singapore".
A nation-state and financial capital, this skyscraper metropolis and global business hub is also your gateway to a life less ordinary. Having become a destination in its own right, this town is anything but boring. High-end shopping and fine dining have made a home here, and some of the world s finest boutique hotels, marketplaces, and cultural centers will inspire you. The city s new growth and vitality is infectious. The Monocle team will take you on a tour of everything you never knew this city had to offer. Sample authentic Nonya cuisine on the street and then slip into some of Asia s best new restaurants under the glow of futuristic architecture. Fall in love with the melting pot culture born of centuries of trade and exchange. And then escape from the bustle in the gardens and forests around the city. Unlock the true Singapore. Monocle will show you how.
