SINGAPORE — Singapore is one of David Beckham’s favourite cities in the world, according to an interview he did with British Airways’ High Life magazine.

“New York and LA are pretty special but I also like Singapore,” the former Manchester United and Real Madrid star told the magazine. “Then again, can you ever beat Paris? I’d say it can be matched but not beaten,” he added.

“Of course, I love coming back to my home, London. It has everything you could ask for in a city,” he said.

In the interview, Beckham also spoke about his most memorable trips. Visiting Antarctica was “pretty special and somewhere I will never forget,” he said. Additionally, the ex-football star recalled family vacations in the Maldives and Bali to be among his best holidays to date.

As for his next holiday, Beckham said: “I like to visit destinations where food is the central part of the journey so my next holiday will be somewhere I can try different cuisines.”
