BEST TIME TO VISIT

Singapore is a year round destination with mild temperatures throughout. It has a tropical climate with high humidity. The best time to visit Singapore is during the months of February to April, when the weather is generally dry and pleasant, and the city is abuzz with various festivals and events. Another good time to visit is from August to October when there are fewer crowds, and hotel rates are relatively lower. It is best to avoid the peak months (December to February) when tourists flock the city, as well as during Chinese New Year.

GETTING AROUND SINGAPORE

Singapore has an excellent transportation system and it is very easy and convenient getting around the city. For getting around quickly and easily, the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) and bus system are the best and cheapest options. A Singapore Tourist Pass, an EZ link card can be purchased for convenience, allowing you access to public transport without having to purchase separate tickets and travel unlimited for one, two or three days. Taxis offer a convenient and comfortable way of travelling around the city, although they can be more expensive than other forms of transport. If you’re looking for an eco-friendly way to explore the city, bicycles are readily available around the city.

DAY 1 – EXPLORING SINGAPORE’S WILDLIFE

On our first day in Singapore, we checked-in at our hotel and took a rest for sometime as we had an overnight flight. Later in the evening, we headed for the Night Safari to explore nocturnal animals in their natural habitat. First, we took a tram ride which showcased animals from the Himalayan foothills to the wild Equatorial Africa. There were a variety of shows as well, including the Creatures of the Night Show, which showcased the behaviour of nocturnal animals such as the owl, civet and binturong.

Then we moved on to Marina Bay Sands, an architectural marvel made up of three interconnected towers and a ship-shaped top. Located on the 57th floor is the Marina Bay Sands Observation Deck, where we witnessed 360 degree views of the city’s skyline. It is very popular during sunset and at night, to see the entire city lit up!

In the second half of the day, we spent our time at Gardens by the Bay, a large nature park in Singapore. First thing to visit is the Cloud Forest – as soon as you enter you see a tall waterfall surrounded by a variety of flowers and plants from around the world. It truly gave the feel of a tropical highland forest. Then, we entered the Flower Dome – a large greenhouse featuring a diverse collection of flowers including the tulips during the spring season.

Both are filled with innovative street stalls and local shops selling unique items at great prices. Mustafa Centre provides great bargains on everything from electronics to clothing while Marina Bay Sands lets you shop in style surrounded by stunning views of the city skyline.

WHERE TO STAY IN SINGAPORE?

Singapore is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Southeast Asia, and with so many options for accommodation, it can be hard to decide where to stay. Depending on your budget, there are a range of options available for luxury or mid range accommodation. We suggest staying at one hotel for the entire trip.

Two of the great mid-range options where we have stayed is the Grand Copthorne Waterfront and Holiday Inn Express Clarke Quay. Both have comfortable rooms and excellent breakfast spread. Also, located quite in the Centre provides good access to public transport and the attractions as well.
