A clean, green city state with famous food, gardens and an easy stopover between the UK and Australia.
Singapore packs a lot into a small island. Marina Bay has the city's best known skyline and the Gardens by the Bay, while Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam show its mix of cultures.
Eat at hawker centres such as Maxwell and Lau Pa Sat, visit the Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and spend a day at Sentosa. Changi Airport, with the Jewel and its indoor waterfall, is an attraction in itself.
Entry rules for Singapore depend on your passport and the purpose of your trip, and they can change. Check the official sources below before you book and again shortly before you travel. Singapore's Immigration and Checkpoints Authority runs an official online arrival card through its own website and app: use only these, as other sites that charge to submit it for you are not linked to the authority.
See TravelHealthPro's Singapore page and book a travel health appointment several weeks before you go. Singapore is hot and humid all year, so drink plenty of water, rest in the shade and use sun protection. Protect yourself from mosquito bites, take care with food and water hygiene and keep an eye on local air quality reports.
Singapore's currency is the Singapore dollar (SGD). Carry some cash for hawker stalls and small shops, tell your bank before you travel, and check what your card charges for payments and withdrawals abroad.

A hawker centre is a shared dining space with many food stalls, where people from all walks of life eat together. Hawker culture grew out of Singapore's street food and draws on Chinese, Malay, Indian and other traditions, and UNESCO added it to its list of intangible cultural heritage in 2020.
