Our best tips for planning your trip 🗺️
- Transport
The country is known for its efficient and modern public transport system, including buses and trains. Taxis are also a convenient but slightly more expensive option. For a unique view of the city, take the aerial metro called MRT. - Language
There are four official languages: English, Mandarin, Malay, and Tamil. English is widely spoken and used in business and education. Learning a few words in Mandarin can be a plus for enriched local interactions. - Alcohol Regulations
Alcohol is expensive due to heavy taxes. Licenses to sell alcohol are strict and sale hours are regulated. Many venues close earlier than those in Europe or North America. - Card Payment
Card payments are widely accepted and it's rare to see someone using cash. International credit and debit cards are accepted in most shops, making transactions easier for travelers. - Light and breathable clothing for the hot and humid climate
- Comfortable shoes for exploring the city on foot
- Sun protection: hat, sunglasses, and sunscreen
- Power bank and international adapter for electronic devices
- EZ-Link card or Singapore Tourist Pass for public transportation
- Local currency, but not too much: credit cards are widely accepted
- City guide or mobile app to explore attractions
- Reservation for Marina Bay Sands Skypark or the Supertree Grove
- Insect repellent for parks and gardens
- Camera or smartphone to capture your memories
- Passport and “SG arrival card” mandatory
The best time to visit Singapore is generally from December to June, as the weather is drier and more pleasant.
Be captivated by the futuristic Gardens by the Bay, with its iconic Supertrees, a must-see for every traveler. Don't miss a stroll through the historic streets of Chinatown to savor authentic cuisine and culture. For a peaceful retreat, the UNESCO-listed Botanic Gardens provide a verdant escape in the heart of the city. Art and tech enthusiasts will find the ArtScience Museum offers a unique interactive experience. And for stunning views, the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark offers an incredible perspective of the glittering skyline.
