Asian adventure: City lights and island nights

Your veins are coursing with excitement! Your suitcase has long been packed and now you're wheeling it through the airport – your portal to the next adventure! Before you know it, the sounds of your rolling suitcase have been replaced with the whooshing of engines as your plane lifts off into the night sky at full speed. Countless stars twinkle in the heavens with the promise of thrilling weeks to come in the most beautiful countries in Asia. You lean back, close your eyes and dream of the adventures ahead one last time before they finally come true!

The glitter and sparkle you see beneath you, that's Singapore! Even as you make the descent to land, you can't get enough of the breathtaking sight of this metropolis of millions. Your plane hits the runway, and before you know it, you're in the middle of the urban jungle. Welcome to one of the most exciting cities in the world, where it's one highlight after another!
Have a little rest when you get in, then start exploring the city. It's easy with the metro, which is one of the most futuristic public transport systems in the world – high-tech vibes incoming! The first must-see is the famous Marina Bay Sands. With three towers and real rooftop vibes, this hotel is a total city icon. And if you stay till evening, you can catch the absolutely magical light and water show! On your way there, keep an eye out for the Helix Bridge – an amazing 918-foot-long bridge that looks like a strand of DNA and glows at night. In Singapore, science meets aesthetics, and you're totally here for it!

You cross the Cavenagh Bridge and – bang – instantly swap futuristic vibes for historic magic! From City Hall to the Old Supreme Court and the Old Parliament House, it's all a total throwback. And from here, Chinatown is just a stone's throw away. Stomach grumbling? No problem, the Chinatown Complex Food Centre has dumplings, noodles and all sorts on offer! Or for something different, let the Little India district draw you in with its colours, spices and lively streets – for a second, you might really think you're in Delhi! And when you need a little break from the hustle and bustle, just hit up the Gardens by the Bay city park (optional, payable on site). Here, you can find peace and tranquillity among the city’s iconic Supertrees – the perfect backdrop for a selfie or two!

A new day, a new adventure and a new country that's just waiting to be explored – off to Vietnam! You board the plane, and before you know it, Singapore starts to shrink beneath your feet. One moment, you're waving goodbye to the urban jungle, and the next, the plane is making its final approach in Vietnam, or more precisely, Ho Chi Minh City.
As you make your way to your new home from home, you excitedly observe your surroundings. The lively commotion on the streets is simply captivating. After check-in, it's time to settle in, put your feet up and relax. Or maybe you'd like to jump right back into the hustle and bustle? If so, and if you're looking for the best place to soak up Ho Chi Minh City's vibes, you'll want to head to the Ben Thanh Market, where hundreds of stalls sell everything your heart could desire plus a little bit more – delicious street food, too, of course!
