Singapore's tropical climate means it's warm year-round, but the best time to visit is from February to April when it's drier and less humid. However, Singapore hosts various events throughout the year, so consider timing your visit to coincide with festivals like Chinese New Year (January/February) or the Singapore Food Festival (July) for a unique experience.

While Singapore can be pricier than some Southeast Asian destinations, it offers options for various budgets. Accommodation and fine dining can be costly, but affordable alternatives exist. Street food at hawker centers is delicious and inexpensive, public transportation is efficient and reasonably priced, and many attractions offer free admission or discounted rates for tourists.

Singapore's top attractions include Gardens by the Bay with its futuristic Supertrees, the iconic Marina Bay Sands, Sentosa Island for beaches and theme parks, the historic Chinatown and Little India neighborhoods, and the Singapore Zoo. Don't miss the Singapore Botanic Gardens (a UNESCO World Heritage site), and for panoramic city views, visit the Singapore Flyer or 1-Altitude rooftop bar.

Singapore is widely regarded as one of the safest cities in the world for tourists. The country has a low crime rate, strict laws, and efficient law enforcement. However, as with any destination, it's advisable to take standard precautions like being aware of your surroundings and safeguarding your belongings. The city is also known for its cleanliness and well-maintained public spaces.

Singapore's public transportation system is excellent and the most convenient way to explore the city. The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) subway system is extensive, clean, and efficient. Buses are also widely available and cover areas not reached by the MRT. For convenience, purchase an EZ-Link card for use on both MRT and buses. Taxis and ride-hailing services like Grab are also readily available but more expensive.
