It's known for its immaculate cleanliness, exceptionally low crime rate, and world-class infrastructure, including one of the best airports and public transport systems globally. The government’s emphasis on urban planning and sustainability means that greenery is integrated into the cityscape, earning it the nickname "City in a Garden." What also makes Singapore stand out is its cultural richness.
