Book Description

EYEWITNESS TRAVEL GUIDE October 1, 2000
The guide that shows you what other travel books only tell you!

Rich in history and tradition, the island of Singapore has become the gem of Southeast Asia and DK's Eyewitness Guide: Singapore will show you how to get around one of the world's best economic miracles. Visit the shops and cafes on Trengganu Street in Chinatown, the world famous Raffles Hotel, the sculpture park in Fort Canning Park, and the ethnic enclave of Kampong Glam. Four guided walks take you through Mount Faber Park, the back streets of old Geylang and Katong, the beaches of East Coast Park, and the colonial houses in Ridley Park. With over 750 photographs, street-by-street maps, and unique cutaway illustrations there is no need to purchase any other guide.

5.0 out of 5 stars The Best Available, December 24, 2005
This review is from: Eyewitness Travel Guide to Singapore (Paperback)
I first came across these books traveling to Europe and I own almost 20 of these guides. I will be going to Singapore this year so I bought the DK guide, naturally!

The photos are in bright stunning color and leap from the pages. There are history time lines, references to historical and political development, architecture, museums, maps, culture, restaurants, places to stay. Very complete. Just a great book.

Let me elaborate a little bit. There are a number of other travel books - and some guides are mainly just text. I like some photographs and color. A picture is worth 1000 words. The visuals are just stunning in the DK books. This book about Singapore is no exception. Like all other DK books it has maps, and drawings, and numerous stunning photos of art, architecture, city scenes, etc. This book also has a section unique to Singapore - it has a special section on foods with many dishes all (again) in wonderful color photographs. Just an excellent job.

Highly recommend and makes for a good souvenir.
