Singapore is a city-state in Southeast Asia. Founded as a British trading colony in 1819, since its independence it has become one of the world's most prosperous countries.

Singapore is only a small country on a small island, but with just over five million people it is a fairly crowded city and in fact second only to Monaco as the world's most densely populated country. However, unlike many other densely populated countries, Singapore has over 50% of its area covered by greenery and with over 50 major parks and 4 nature reserves, it is an enchanting garden city. Combining the skyscrapers and subways of a modern, affluent city with a medley of Chinese, Malay and Indian influences and a tropical climate, with tasty food, good shopping and a vibrant nightlife scene, this Garden City makes a great place to life.

Most Singaporean residents travel by foot, bicycles, bus, taxis and by train (Mass Rapid Transit). Two companies run the public bus transport system – SBS Transit and SMRT Corporation. SMRT also runs the public train system. Taxis are also a preferred public transport as the fares are cheap.

Moreover Singapore is a major international transport centre in Asia, positioned on many sea and air trade routes. The Port of Singapore, managed by port operators PSA International and Jurong Port, was the world's second-busiest port in 2005. Furthermore the city is an aviation hub for Southeast Asia. There are eight airports in the country and Singapore Changi Airport hosts a network of 80 airlines connecting Singapore to 200 cities in 68 countries. It has been rated one of the best international airports by international travel magazines.
