Singapore is a rather small country on a small island, but with over four million people it's a fairly large city.
Central — The densely packed heart of the city, containing:
Bugis and Kampong Glam — Bugis and Kampong Glam are Singapore's old Malay district, now largely taken over by shopping.
Chinatown — the area originally designated for Chinese settlement by Stamford Raffles.
Little India — A piece of India to the north of the CBD.
Orchard Road — world-renowned shopping district
Riverside — museums, statues and theaters, not to mention restaurants, bars and clubs
Balestier, Newton, Novena and Toa Payoh — Budget accommodations and Burmese temples within striking distance of the center.
East Coast — The largely residential eastern part of the island contains Changi Airport and many famous eateries.
North and West — The northern and western parts of the island, also known as Woodlands and Jurong respectively, form Singapore's residential and industrial hinterlands.
Sentosa — A separate island developed into a resort, Sentosa is the closest that Singapore gets to Disneyland.
