Singapore is an excellent destination for a city break and a great starting point for a trip to Asia. This Singapore travel guide will introduce the highlights of a visit to Singapore.

 

 

How to Plan a Trip

Singapore is known as one of the most Westernized countries in South East Asia. It is a safe destination to visit especially if you are planning to travel with children. It is known for good shopping and great food, and there are many opportunities to try both.

To make the most of your visit, get a good Singapore travel guide. If you are visiting for long weekend, there is so much to see and do that a guidebook can help you to make the most of your time.

Things to Do

Highlights of any visit to this small but fascinating country include shopping on Orchard Road (the main shopping street), visiting the many ethnic areas from Chinatown to Little India, and trying the famous street food. A walk or a boat trip along the Singapore River is a good way to go sightseeing.

Every trip to Singapore should include at least one meal in a hawker centre. These are collections of food stalls that sell delicious and affordable local food and regional cuisine, including Malaysian, Indian, Thai, Japanese and Indonesian. You can choose whatever looks best or get a local Singapore travel guide to help you choose from the dozens of great foods available.

Singapore Travel Guide and Tips

Because of its small size, Singapore is easy to get around. The public transportation is efficient and taxis are affordable. The weather is hot and tropical around the year, and as every Singapore travel guide will tell you, it is a good idea to carry an umbrella for protection from the sun and the occasional rain showers.
