It is a country of many contrasts. Hi-tech skyscrapers soar up among picturesque old buildings, and the people are still steeped in their ancient traditions, despite living in one of the most advanced countries in the world. You can step back in time amongst the beautiful buildings of the colonial district, but it is in the ethnic quarters of Chinatown, Arab Street and Little India that you will find the heart and soul of the city. Nature lovers will be surprised by the many pockets of green in this bustling city.
