GSingapore Highlights
Gardens by the Bay
You’ve never seen a forest like this before! Gardens by the Bay is where you can marvel at the Supertrees of Singapore, giant spectacles that sparkle under the moonlight. Grab your spot for the Garden Rhapsody, when the neon lights play around to the sound of music. Gardens by the Bay is in full bloom every season.
Marina Bay
When you picture Singapore, the glamorous harbour of Marina Bay is what immediately comes to mind. Sleek skyscrapers and futuristic hotels, including the most famous one of all, Marina Bay Sands, face opposite each other from across the ocean. Another unmissable landmark has to be Merlion Park: home to the half-lion, half-fish statue.
Chinatown
Chinatown needs to be at the top of your list on our Singapore trips. First impressions are that it could not be more different from the waterfront, swapping bright city lights for historic laneways adorned with paper lanterns. Get a taste of Singapore’s most delicious street food here, experiencing hawker culture in all its glory.
Jewel Changi Airport
If only every airport could be like Jewel Changi. You may be surprised to see it on our list, but trust us, it’s a genuine highlight for any layover. From the world’s tallest indoor waterfall to walking nets, mazes and seemingly endless shops and restaurants to choose between, getting bored is pretty much impossible.
Singapore Travel Advice
Climate & Weather
Singapore is a tropical country, so it experiences hot and humid weather throughout the whole year with very little temperature change. You can typically expect highs of 33℃ and lows of 25℃.
Rainfall is short and sharp, falling throughout every season; although October to February are generally the wettest months in Singapore.
Best Time to Visit
The best time to visit on our Singapore tours comes down to preference. Singapore is an all-season destination, although March to August is favourable due to less frequent rainfall. The dry and sunny skies make it a perfect time to explore Singapore’s outdoor attractions, such as the botanical gardens and beaches.
October to February is also popular, however, especially among travellers who are ticking multiple countries off their bucket list.
Customs & Culture
Singapore is very culturally diverse, so much so that the country has four different official languages. Exploring Singapore’s different neighbourhoods, such as Chinatown and Little India, should be on your radar if you have more time here.
When visiting the hawker food centres, a cultural custom to keep in mind is “chope-ing.” This is when people informally reserve a seat or table with a small, strategically placed item. Tipping is not expected in Singapore. Your trip leader on our Singapore tours can also advise you on the best practices.
Passports & Visas
Entry requirements and visa regulations are different for every destination and your purpose of travel. We recommend staying updated on the latest official information before you go travelling. Your passport should be undamaged and have enough blank pages for stamps and visas. Many countries require your passport to have at least 6 months of validity beyond the date of entry.
For more information and resources regarding entry requirements, check out our Visa Advice page.
Health & Safety
At Adventure360, your safety and well-being are our top priorities. From the moment your trip is confirmed until you arrive back home, you'll have access to a 24/7 emergency contact number for any urgent issues. For anything non-urgent, our friendly team is also available during office hours to help.
We strongly recommend checking the FCDO advice for Singapore, as it's regularly updated with the latest safety and travel information, and you can even sign up for email alerts to stay informed of any changes. In addition, you can check the FCDO general travel advice for British nationals abroad.
Frequently Asked Questions
It’s up to you! Singapore is a fantastic layover destination because there is so much for you to experience, even just inside the airport for a short period. If you have a full day here or longer, going on a sightseeing tour to Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay and neighbourhoods like Chinatown is highly recommended.
