What to expect

When to go

This island is warm and humid year-round, with a daily average temperature of 24–31 degrees Celsius. Dressing in layers is best for comfort. Food-lovers may want to attend the annual international gourmet festival, held for two weeks in April, whereas shoppers won’t want to miss June’s Great Singapore Sale with discounts galore.

Must see sights

Shopping areas: Orchard Road is the shopaholic central. Suntec City Mall and Marina Square are also popular choices.

Dining areas: No fears of going hungry in Asia’s food capital! Try Boat Quay for al fresco dining along the Singapore River and East Coast Parkway for seaside dining outside the city.

Ethnic neighbourhoods: Shop, dine, and immerse in Chinatown with four distinctive districts; the Maylay community of Geylang Serai; Little India; and the Muslim quarter of Kampong Glam.
