Solidly upgraded, real-time, up-to-date travel information

Singapore, a small country, may not seem like much has changed at first glance from a traveler's perspective, but it is constantly evolving, brimming with endless things to enjoy.
Trends change constantly, and places that survive and disappear frequently intersect with them, and even the same places are transformed through regular renovations.
As the authors have personally experienced these changes, both large and small, on the ground, they are able to grasp the latest trends in real time, and by consistently communicating directly with travelers, they have incorporated all their questions into this one book.
The volume has been significantly increased with the addition of new attractions, newly opened places, popular hip restaurants, and hidden gems discovered with an eagle eye.

It is a safe city with a culture that is friendly to women, children, and the elderly, so you can enjoy your trip with anyone.
In addition to these attractions, the stories of history, culture, and life, infused with humanistic knowledge by authors who are former docents at the National Museum of Singapore, enhance understanding of Singapore and suggest numerous diverse themed tours.

Benefits fit for the digital age
Easy-to-understand transportation guideⅹMobile travel information

Singapore has simple transportation, so there is no major difficulty in using it.
However, there are areas that cannot be reached by the MRT, which is equivalent to our country's subway, and in the case of Sentosa Island, there are many more transportation options within the island.
So, we've attached various diagrams, detailed explanations, and route maps to help you easily understand transportation.
The detailed map displays MRT stations, which are the starting points of travel, in Korean, and the design of stops, routes, stations, and exit numbers has been upgraded to make them more readable.
In addition, it provides intensive mobile information suitable for the digital age.
This is valuable information that will help reduce the hassle of traveling, including information on car-sharing service apps that can be used like taxis, contactless cards or Pay that can be used instead of transportation cards, and various mobile apps that can help with travel.
Additionally, the Real Series' special appendix mobile map allows you to check all the locations and transportation methods introduced in the book on your mobile phone, doubling the convenience of your trip.
