About Singapore

Singapore is Southeast Asia's easiest first stop — a compact island city-state where a spotless MRT network links Marina Bay's futuristic skyline, Michelin-starred hawker centres, colonial-era heritage quarters, tropical Gardens by the Bay and family-friendly Sentosa resorts. English is universal, the currency is stable, water is safe and every meal from S$5 hawker plates to three-Michelin-star tasting menus is within a 20-minute MRT ride.

En bref

  • Compact city-state — MRT connects the entire island; Changi to city in 35 min.
  • Hawker-centre meals from S$5; Michelin-starred hawker stalls at Chinatown Complex.
  • Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, Sentosa and Chinatown are the four essential half-days.
  • Cleanest, safest, most English-friendly gateway to Southeast Asia.
  • Currency SGD; Type G 230V plugs; tap water is safe and excellent.
