Singapore at a glance
A small island nation at the tip of the Malay Peninsula, with Chinese, Malay, Indian and colonial-era neighborhoods side by side. Visitors come for the food, the gardens around Marina Bay and an easy, well-run city. Many also use it as a stopover between Asia, Europe and Australia.
Known for
Gardens by the Bay 滨海湾花园
Waterfront park with the Supertree Grove, the ticketed Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, and a nightly light show at 7:45 pm and 8:45 pm.
Hawker centres 小贩中心
Open-air food courts of small cooked-food stalls; Singapore's hawker culture was added to UNESCO's intangible heritage list in 2020.
Hainanese chicken rice 海南鸡饭
Poached chicken over rice cooked in chicken stock, with chilli sauce and cucumber; found in almost every hawker centre.
Little India 小印度
Neighborhood along Serangoon Road with Tekka Centre market, temples and spice shops; busiest around Deepavali.
Sentosa 圣淘沙
Resort island off the south coast with Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong beaches and Universal Studios; reached by the Sentosa Express from VivoCity, cable car or a covered boardwalk.
Getting there
From Changi Airport, take the MRT from Changi Airport station (CG2), in the basement of Terminals 2 and 3. Ride about 7 min to Tanah Merah (EW4) and change to the East-West Line toward Tuas Link for the city. Or ride to Expo and change to the Downtown Line. Taxis wait at arrivals in Terminals 1 to 4; the airport says about 30 min to the city. Grab, Gojek and other ride-hailing apps have pickup points.
Getting around
The MRT and buses reach almost everywhere. Tap a contactless Visa, Mastercard or American Express card or a phone wallet at the gates (foreign Visa and Mastercard cards carry a daily admin fee), or use an EZ-Link card or Singapore Tourist Pass.
When to go
Hot and humid all year, with daily means around 27 to 29 C. Rain is heaviest from November to January; February is the driest month. The Northeast Monsoon runs December to early March and the Southwest Monsoon June to September.
Local tip
Carry a small umbrella and a light layer: showers come quickly, and malls, buses and the MRT are strongly air-conditioned.
