Extravagant, wealthy and packed full of contrasts, this is a city-state with an infectious energy, renowned for its sensational shopping malls, street markets and mouth-watering cuisine. Home to the cheapest Michelin-starred meal in the world and a space-age botanic garden where towering super trees epitomise the modern vision of the city, its riverside setting and beautiful green spaces only add to the charm. Abundant with history and incredible architecture, Singapore is a cosmopolitan outdoor dream; from its sky-rise greenery to the iconic treetop walkways, what once was a high-rise concrete jungle has today transformed itself into one of Asia's greenest cities.

Our recommended Singapore tours
Afternoon Tea At Raffles Singapore
Afternoon tea at Raffles is something of a Singapore institution and it’s a stylish and indulgent way to mark a special occasion or just treat yourself. It may have moved from the celebrated Tiffin Room, a part of the hotel’s story since 1892, to the recently restored Grand Lobby, but the experience is as evocative as ever. Sitting in the suitably palatial atrium, where three layers of Victorian pillars soar up to a vast skylight like a giant wedding cake, you’ll feel as if you’ve travelled back in time to a more elegant era. The effect is enhanced by the meal itself: delicious finger sandwiches, freshly baked scones with jam and cream, and impeccably made seasonal cakes and pastries served on a three-tiered silver stand. Complementing the food, the exquisite teas come from a long-established French company, Mariage Frères, with everything from Earl Grey Imperial to South African rooibos.

Singapore Highlights in Half a Day
For those short of time, or who just like to make the most of every minute, this action-packed three-and-a-hour tour will give you a comprehensive overview of Singapore. The journey begins at Kampong Glam, one of the city-state’s oldest areas, whose colonial-era buildings now house trendy bars and eateries. After that, you’ll drive around the Civic District, home to the wide-open space of Padang playing field and Singapore Cricket Club, the historic Parliament House and the National Gallery Singapore, well worth returning to later for an insight into south-east Asian art. Afterwards, you’ll stop at Merlion Park to enjoy the impressive views of Marina Bay and take a selfie with one of two statues of Singapore’s part-lion-part-fish official mascot. You’ll continue to the 200-year-old Thian Hock Keng temple, before driving past Chinatown and on to your final port of call, the UNESCO-listed Singapore Botanic Gardens. A walk through the National Orchid Garden, with an eye-popping display of 60,000 orchid plants, makes a perfect finale to the trip.

Singapore Heritage Food Trail
In multicultural Singapore, food is something of a national obsession and you’ll soon discover why on this culinary adventure through two of its most vibrant districts. You’ll dive into the hustle and bustle of Geylang Serai and its popular covered market, designed to look like a traditional kampong, which has been a hub of the local Malay community since it opened in 1964. It’s packed with stalls selling all manner of ingredients, from live fish to spices, used in Malay and Middle Eastern cooking. Upstairs is the hawker centre, where there’s time for a local-style breakfast: perhaps a roti prata, a type of flatbread served with various spiced dips and chutneys. From here, you’ll head to colourful Tekka in Little India, Singapore’s largest wet market, where you’ll hear languages from all around the world and pass stalls selling everything from saris to piquant Indian snacks.

Best time to visit Singapore
Singapore doesn’t really have seasons in the traditional sense. Sitting just one degree north of the equator, it’s reliably warm and humid all year, with temperatures rarely straying far from 30°C. Rain is a year-round guest, so you might find yourself scanning the sky for those sudden, tropical downpours that turn up with little warning, drench everything, then vanish just as quickly. However, it usually arrives in short, dramatic bursts rather than days of drizzle. The wettest months (typically November and December) aren't a dealbreaker, but you’ll want to pack a good umbrella and favour indoor activities. That said, Singapore is remarkably well-prepared for rain and heat, with covered walkways, efficient public transport, and no shortage of air-conditioned havens. In truth, there's no bad time to visit, but depending on your tolerance for heat, crowds, or the possibility of being rained on mid-noodle, some months may suit you better than others.

Singapore Weather by Month
Singapore in January
The year kicks off with warm days and frequent showers, thanks to the tail end of the Northeast Monsoon. Expect high humidity and the occasional afternoon downpour. One of the highlights of the month is the Chinese New Year, which often falls in late January or early February. Streets come alive with red lanterns, lion dances, and festive markets. If you enjoy cultural bustle, this is your moment.
Singapore in February
Chinese New Year celebrations may spill into early February, and the weather begins to dry up a little. It's still humid, of course, but the skies are clearer, and it’s easier to enjoy outdoor attractions like Gardens by the Bay or Sentosa. Bring a hat and a fan, and get ready to get stuck in, however sticky things might feel!
Singapore in March
March is a bit kinder weather-wise. It’s still warm, but with fewer downpours and slightly less humidity. It’s a good time to walk around the Marina Bay area or take a break in the Botanic Gardens without getting overheated. Orchard Road is still busy, but the heat’s a bit easier to manage if you're out shopping or grabbing something to eat outside.
Singapore in April
Temperatures start to climb in April, and the humidity follows suit, but the city stays active with more events popping up on the calendar. While Easter isn't a significant celebration, you might come across a few public activities or seasonal displays. Rain becomes more frequent, often arriving in brief but heavy showers. It’s a month to pack lightweight clothes and footwear that can handle getting wet, especially if you're planning to be outdoors.
Singapore in May
Hot, humid, and heading into the Southwest Monsoon. The Inter-monsoon period can bring heavy thunderstorms, often in the afternoon. Not ideal beach weather, but great for museums and air-conditioned shopping malls, both of which Singapore excels at. If you're caught in a storm, duck into the National Gallery.
Singapore in June
School holidays in Singapore make June a busy time. It’s hot and often stormy, but the city is buzzing with events, especially around the Great Singapore Sale. If shopping’s your sport, this might be your Olympics. Otherwise, be strategic with your outings. Early mornings and evenings are your best bets.
Singapore in July
Still steamy, still stormy. The cultural calendar picks up again with the Singapore Food Festival. This is an excellent excuse (not that you need one) to eat your way around the city. From hawker centres to high-end dining, food is well and truly under the spotlight in July. Hydration is key, but so is chilli tolerance.
Singapore in August
National Day on the 9th is a highlight, with fireworks, military parades and plenty of red-and-white flags across the city. It’s a time of celebration and national pride, and if you're near Marina Bay, you might catch aerial displays or evening light shows. The weather stays hot and humid, with sudden downpours that clear quickly. It’s best to wear breathable clothes and have an umbrella or rain jacket on hand just in case.
Singapore in September
Things start to dry out slightly, and the city gets a bit of breathing space. The Grand Prix typically roars into town mid-month, turning the city centre into a street circuit. It’s loud, flashy, and not at all subtle, but if you like spectacle, you’ll love it. Book early, as hotels fill up quickly.
Singapore in October
The Southwest Monsoon tapers off, bringing a mix of sunshine and sudden, theatrical thunderstorms. Deepavali (Diwali) often falls in October, bringing colourful lights and street celebrations to Little India. It’s a good time to explore the city’s Indian heritage, with plenty of sweets to try and saris to admire.
Singapore in November
The wettest month of the year. Bring an umbrella, wear something that won’t cling to your skin in the humidity and opt for more indoor activities. It’s a good time to explore places like the National Gallery, the ArtScience Museum, or take your time at one of the city’s food courts, where you can sample a wide mix of local dishes without getting caught in the rain. Tourism tends to slow down, which means shorter queues, better hotel deals and the occasional quiet museum gallery all to yourself.
Singapore in December
Rain continues, but the city doesn’t let it dampen its mood. Christmas is celebrated in a big, sparkly way, particularly along Orchard Road where lights, trees, and over-the-top decorations abound. It’s kitschy and a little surreal in the tropics, but charming nonetheless. Year-end school holidays also mean more local families out and about, so plan ahead if you’re aiming for popular spots.
