Singapore is a highly developed and westernised city-state in Southeast Asia and amongst the world’s leading economic centres in the banking and shipping industry. This cosmopolitan city also offers some incredible tropical parks, beautiful beaches, delicious and inexpensive food, huge shopping events, fun theme parks, and a world-class zoo. Because of its tropical climate, Singapore experiences high humidity levels, year-round rain, and average temperatures of 26 – 30 degrees Celsius. Any time of the year is a good time to visit Singapore, but you are likely to find better deals on travel and accommodation during July – August. From November – June, a large number of winter leisure travellers as well as festivals such as the Chinese New Year and Great Singapore Sale tend to drive prices upwards.
When planning your flight to Singapore, it is important to be aware that some months are not as ideal as others. Specifically, the months of January, February, or March could carry a higher chance of rain, as Singapore sees up to 5.1 inches (130 mm) or more. There are still things to do in Singapore even when it's raining, but be aware that rain is highly probable in the area. Those looking for a great museum with interesting exhibits should take time out of their trip to Singapore to go see Chinatown Heritage Center. Chinatown Heritage Center is particularly popular with tourists when the weather in Singapore is not ideal. Many tourists kill time during rain and storms by going to shopping centres in the area, like Sentosa. Many people find Sentosa to be a great place to check out while visiting Singapore, especially on days where the weather does not quite cooperate.

The minimum age for a child to fly alone is five, but airlines offering an unaccompanied minor (UNMR) service may have their age restrictions, such as regulations concerning flight duration, timing, and stopovers. It is recommended that you verify with the airline you are booking with for travel to Singapore Changi Airport.
The travel and health documents you'll need for your trip to Singapore Changi Airport may differ based on your itinerary and personal situation. Typically, you should have several documents on hand, such as a national ID card or driver's licence and a passport that is valid for six months after your intended arrival at Singapore Changi Airport. It is always advisable to seek advice from your airline or a trusted third party, such as IATA.
Singapore’s public transport system consisting of buses and trains, takes you to any part of the city with an impressive speed and efficiency.
Trains
Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (SMRT) is the fastest way to travel across the city and its dense network ensures that all major attractions are within walking distance from an SMRT station. A single trip fare is calculated based on the distance travelled, but you may be able to minimise cost with a Singapore Tourist Pass which allows unlimited travel on trains and buses for $10 SGD for 1 day, $16 SGD for 2 days and $20 SGD for 3 days.
Taxis
In Singapore, you can hail a taxi by the roadside or queue up at the taxi stands found outside most shopping malls, hotels and tourist attractions. You can book a cab in advance by calling a common booking number 6-DIAL CAB (6342-5222) which directs your call to an available taxi company’s call centre.
Buses
With an extensive bus network covering most places within Singapore, buses are the most economical way of travelling around the city. Fares are calculated based on the distance travelled and you can pay using the EZ-Link stored-value card or the Singapore Tourist Pass or by paying exact fare in cash.
Australian citizens do not need a visa to enter Singapore if they have a passport with minimum 6 months’ validity at the time of entry. For foreign nationals, please check the Singapore Government Immigration website.
It is difficult to experience the diverse offerings of Singapore in a short stay; hence you will need to pick a few activities and attractions based on your interests and the length of your stay. Here are a few things you must-see and must-do when in Singapore:
Affordable Meals
Several inexpensive and delicious food options are available at Little India, Chinatown or at the hawker stalls throughout the city. Smith Street is also an economical option to sample local snacks.
Fines
Singapore is indeed a ‘fine’ city (pun intended)! Chewing gum, littering, spitting, smoking in prohibited areas, jaywalking, not flushing toilets, connecting to someone else’s unprotected Wi-Fi, same-sex relations, are just some of the many things that are illegal and can attract huge fines.
Feast your Eyes
Watch the Garden Rhapsody light and sound show at the SuperTree Grove in Gardens by the Bay and the Wander Full Light and Water show (singing fountains and projections on their splashes) at the Marina Bay Sands. Both the shows are an absolute visual treat and are held twice daily, free of cost. All you need to do is reach in time and find the coolest spot to watch the spectacle as it unfolds.
Shop till you drop
Singapore is a shopper’s paradise and the best way to experience it is by visiting Orchard Road, a lively 1-kilometre stretch which has an abundance of music stores, fashion boutiques, department stores and electronic items.
Free Walking Tours
Companies such as Singapore Footprints offer free walking tours around the city and are a great way to explore the culture, history and architecture of Singapore.
