Singapore

City of the Future, Garden of the East

Where Clean Streets, Cloud Forests & Chili Crab Collide

Step into Singapore, and step into a world that works like clockwork, yet never feels cold. This island nation is a fusion of Malay, Chinese, Indian, and Western influences, creating a vibrant, multicultural destination like no other. One minute you're admiring futuristic architecture at Marina Bay Sands, the next you're walking through a 200-year-old temple or sampling satay under the stars.


Whether you’re exploring lush gardens, sipping rooftop cocktails, or shopping ‘til you drop on Orchard Road, Singapore feels polished, exciting, and incredibly easy to enjoy. It’s perfect for a stopover, a city break, or a luxurious long weekend.

Visa Requirements

UK passport holders can visit Singapore visa-free for up to 90 days. Your passport must be valid for at least 6 months beyond your entry date, and you’ll need a return or onward ticket. Quick, simple, and stress-free, just like Singapore itself.

Key Airports

  • Singapore Changi Airport (SIN) – The main international gateway and perfect for exploring Luzon and the capital region.

Spoken Languages

Singapore has four official languages: English, Malay, Mandarin and Tamil. English is the main language for business and daily life, so you’ll have no trouble getting around.


That said, here are a few fun local phrases in Singlish (Singaporean English) to blend in:


  • Lah – Common sentence-ending particle for emphasis (e.g., "Okay lah!")
  • Shiok! – So good (Usually about food)
  • Can or not? – Is that okay? / Can you do that?
  • Makan – Eat / Meal
  • Chope! – To reserve a seat (often using a tissue packet)


Holidays to Singapore

During the Summer

It’s summer all year! Expect consistent temperatures of 27–33°C, with high humidity and short tropical downpours—often in the late afternoon. Don’t forget your umbrella (and your sunscreen!).

During the Winter

“Winter” in Singapore (November–January) brings more rain, especially during the monsoon season, but it’s still warm and tropical. Great for indoor attractions, lush greenery, and festive city lights.

Top Filipino Hot Spots

Explore the iconic Gardens by the Bay, where supertrees light up the night sky. Wander the cultural districts of Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. Or get your thrills at Sentosa Island, packed with beaches, adventure parks, and Universal Studios. Whether you’re chasing luxury, culture, or fun, Singapore delivers.

Marina Bay – The Sparkling Centrepiece

See the city from the infinity pool at Marina Bay Sands (if you’re lucky enough to be a guest), or stroll along the bay for light shows, skyline selfies, and waterfront vibes.

Gardens by the Bay – Nature Meets Imagination

A world-famous attraction featuring giant glowing “supertrees”, the Cloud Forest dome, and one of the most stunning indoor gardens on Earth.

Sentosa Island – Play, Stay, and Splash

Just a short ride from the city, Sentosa is a beachy playground with adventure parks, luxe resorts, cable cars, and plenty of family-friendly fun.

Chinatown – Heritage with Flavour

More than just lanterns and temples, Chinatown is home to historic shophouses, trendy bars, and hawker stalls that serve up Michelin-starred street food.

Top Tips for Getting the Most Out of Your Holiday

  1. Eat at the Hawker Centres - Singapore’s street food is legendary, and hawker centres are the place to experience it. Don’t miss chicken rice, laksa, char kway teow, or the famed chilli crab. Affordable, authentic, and absolutely delicious.
  2. Buy an EZ-Link Card for Easy Transport - Singapore’s MRT system is clean, fast and easy to use. Grab a reusable EZ-Link card for seamless travel on trains and buses - plus discounts at some attractions.
  3. Reserve Seats with Tissues (Seriously!) - Locals "chope" tables at hawker centres by placing a packet of tissues or a small item down. It’s a uniquely Singaporean way to say, “This seat is taken!”
  4. Mix Modern with Historic - Don’t just stick to the shiny stuff - visit temples, mosques, and Peranakan neighbourhoods like Katong to see Singapore’s rich cultural roots beneath the gloss.
