Know when to go.
- Arrival card: Every visitor must submit the free SG Arrival Card online within three days before arriving in Singapore — we will remind you. Many nationalities are visa-free for 30 to 90 days
- Currency: The currency is the Singapore Dollar. Singapore is highly cashless — cards and contactless payment work almost everywhere, though a little cash is handy at some hawker stalls
- Strict laws: Singapore is famously orderly, with fines for littering, jaywalking and eating or drinking on the MRT, no smoking outside designated areas, and extremely severe penalties for drugs. It keeps the city wonderfully clean and safe
- Getting around: Singapore is compact, safe and superbly connected by a clean, efficient MRT metro; taxis and ride-hailing are easy, and everything is walkable and English-speaking
- Weather: It is hot and humid year-round with sudden tropical downpours, so pack light, breathable clothes and carry a compact umbrella. The wettest months are November to January
- Hawker food: Singapore's hawker centres offer some of the best and cheapest food in Asia, and are perfectly safe and hygienic — do not miss the chilli crab, chicken rice and laksa
- Best time: Singapore is a year-round destination; it is slightly drier from February to April, and lively events include Chinese New Year, the Formula 1 night race in September and Christmas on Orchard Road
- Tipping: Tipping is not customary or expected in Singapore, as a service charge is usually already included in bills
- Connectivity & power: Wifi is excellent and free in many places, and a local SIM or eSIM is cheap. Power is 230V with the UK-style type G three-pin plug, so bring an adapter
- Dress & respect: Dress is casual but neat; cover shoulders and knees when visiting temples and mosques in Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam
