Merlion, Singapore

While Singapore is a little nation, there is still a ton to see.

Only 31 miles wide and 17 miles in length, Singapore has an exceptional measure of must-see neighborhoods like Little India, Bugis, Chinatown, Marina Bay, the Financial District, and Sentosa Island.

Best time to Travel

Singapore is humid and sticky all year so there is definitely not an ideal time to visit or ideal weather month.

The normal temperature is 26-27°C and the humidity is constantly above 80% regardless of what season.

The main thing you likely need to know with respect to Singapore's climate is that the wettest months are from November to January.

That is the storm season so you might need to stay away from those months in the event that you don't need a more noteworthy possibility of a downpour.

Getting around in Singapore

Singapore has the best public transport system, so if you want to move around the city and explore all the neighborhoods then you can pick up any of the public transport options which are budget-friendly.

Singapore Road and Public Transport

Public Transport - The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is a simple and moderate option to get around Singapore. The cost of tickets relies upon where you are going and by and large goes around SGD 4 (USD 3 - INR 200). On the off chance that you are wanting to investigate however much of the city as could reasonably be expected, the Singapore Tourist MRT Pass can be a lot. It gives you boundless travel for a set period. Buses - you can also use the Tourist pass on the buses and travel to your desired location, you can pull up any location detail on Google maps and just refer to the bus numbers and bus stops nearby, make sure you have an internet package on your phone to use Google or other navigation services Taxi - An application called Grab is well known here, and the ride costs are less expensive than what a conventional taxi ride would cost. It works simply like Uber, which is being eliminated in Singapore. While there is a huge amount of cabs everywhere throughout the city, they charge top rates after 6 p.m., so it can get costly rapidly.Where to Stay

Stay in Singapore is expensive, the amount you pay for a room compared to other tourist locations the place would be matchbox-sized, staying location and areas would be a personal preference based on convenience, food, and the budget.

So you have options to pick from hostels, AirBnBs, Luxury Hotels, and Couch Surfing options. pick the option that would suit the best based on your preference and travel needs.

Again book the hotels in advance to get good deals, my advice would be to shell out a little bit for a night and enjoy a luxuries stay in Marina Bay Sands or The Fullerton Hotel.

You don't get to experience it every day, so indulge that in make enjoy the luxury stays for a night.

Contact me, if you need help with hotel bookings, I can find you good deals for Marian Bay Sands or other hotel options.

Where to Eat

Food culture in Singapore is pretty sorted, you will all type of food options in the Hawker Centers, enjoy a nice meal in stylish resto setup in Clark Quay or go uptight and visit one of those high-end restos in marina bay or seaside and try out some nice seafood options.

I will be posting a separate blog just about "what to eat Singapore" soon which would have more details into the options and things to try out in Singapore Hawker street and the things that I tried out, some images are above.

I want to keep this blog short just an overview and be your Travel Guide to Singapore.

Until then if you have any questions, feel free to contact me and I will be happy to help you out to pick your perfect eating spot.
