📌City-state
Singapore (Singapura in Malay) is an island city-state at the southern tip of the Malay Peninsula. The Strait of Johor separates it from Malaysia, and the Singapore Strait separates it from Indonesia's Riau Islands. It is a country, a city and a capital all at once: there are no provinces and no other separate city. It covers about 720 km² (719.9 km² according to Wikipedia), and its land area has grown by around 25 % since independence thanks to land reclaimed from the sea. According to the Population Trends 2026 report from the official statistics department (SingStat), 6.21 million people lived there at the end of June 2026, counting residents and foreigners with work or study permits. It has four official languages (English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil), and its mix of Chinese, Malay and Indian communities shows in every neighbourhood, temple and food stall. It is known for being orderly and clean, for the Marina Bay skyline with the Marina Bay Sands hotel and the Supertrees of Gardens by the Bay, for Changi Airport and for its hawker centre culture (popular food courts), which UNESCO inscribed as intangible heritage in 2020. The Singapore Botanic Gardens have been a World Heritage Site since 2015. Independent since 9 August 1965, it is now one of Asia's great financial and port hubs.
📌Currency
Singapore dollar (SGD, written S$). Visa and Mastercard are accepted almost everywhere, and you can also tap them at the gates to pay for the MRT and buses, although Changi Airport warns that cards issued abroad are charged an administrative fee. At smaller hawker centres it's still a good idea to carry cash or a payment app. Prices at hotels and sit-down restaurants are often marked '++': 10 % service and 9 % GST (the local VAT) are added on top. Tipping on top of that is not customary
📌Best time to go
It's hot and humid all year and it rains every month, so there's no truly 'bad' season. The official weather service (MSS) distinguishes the Northeast Monsoon (December to early March), with long spells of rain especially in December and early January and a drier, windier phase from late January; the inter-monsoon period from late March to May, with afternoon thunderstorms and highs above 32 °C; and the Southwest Monsoon (June to September). October and November bring afternoon thunderstorms again. Plan museums and shopping malls for the rainy hours
📌Visa
Argentines, Uruguayans, Chileans, Mexicans, Colombians and Peruvians don't need a tourist visa: none of these countries is on the visa-required list of the immigration authority (ICA). Everyone must complete the free SG Arrival Card within the 3 days before arrival, hold a passport valid for 6 months and, if they have been in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Brazil or another country with yellow fever risk in the previous 6 days, show their vaccination certificate. The length of stay is set by the officer on entry and sent by email (e-Pass)

🌤️ Weather in Singapore
Loading weather…
Singapore is an easy gateway to Southeast Asia: on a single island, linked by metro, you'll find Chinese temples, mosques, Hindu temples, skyscrapers and rainforest reserves side by side. Everything works, transport is cheap and the city is made for walking from one neighbourhood to the next. For travellers coming from Latin America it's also a good stopover to break up the long journey before heading on to Bali, Thailand, Vietnam or Australia.
What surprises people most is the food. At the hawker centres, the food courts UNESCO recognised as heritage, you can eat Hainanese chicken rice, laksa, satay or char kway teow for a few local dollars, sitting next to office workers and families. That makes up for the cost of accommodation, which is the big expense of the trip. Eating well and cheaply in Singapore isn't a backpacker trick: it's what people who live here do every day.
Much of the best is free: the outdoor gardens and light show at Gardens by the Bay, the Botanic Gardens, the Spectra show at Marina Bay, the waterfall at Jewel in the airport, the Southern Ridges bridges and the neighbourhoods of Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam. Three or four days are enough for the main sights; with a week you can add Sentosa, the zoo, the island of Pulau Ubin and the museums at a relaxed pace.
📖 History of Singapore
Before it was Singapore, the island was called Temasek. The first written mentions come from the Chinese traveller Wang Dayuan, around 1330, and from the Javanese poem Nagarakretagama, of 1365. For centuries it was a minor trading post within the Malay world. In 1819 Stamford Raffles, of the British East India Company, set up a trading post there with the permission of a claimant to the Johor sultanate, and the 1824 treaty ceded the island to the British for good. In 1826 it became part of the Straits Settlements together with Penang and Malacca, and on 1 April 1867 it became a Crown colony. The free port drew Chinese, Malay, Indian and Arab immigrants, and each community left its own neighbourhood: Chinatown, Kampong Glam and Little India date from that period. On 15 February 1942 the city fell to Japan, which occupied it until 1945. After the war it returned to British hands, gained self-government on 3 June 1959 with Lee Kuan Yew as prime minister, and on 16 September 1963 joined the Federation of Malaysia. The union didn't last long: on 9 August 1965 Singapore separated and was born as an independent state. Lee Kuan Yew governed until 1990 and drove industrialisation, public housing and the growth of the port. He was followed by Goh Chok Tong and Lee Hsien Loong, and since 2024 the prime minister has been Lawrence Wong. Today it is one of Asia's great financial centres.

The bay that is Singapore's postcard: the Merlion, the three-tower hotel with its observation deck and a free light show every night.
Leer más ↓
Marina Bay is the modern face of Singapore and the place where everyone takes the photo. On the financial district side stands the Merlion, the half-lion, half-fish statue that is the symbol of the city: it is 8.6 metres tall, was unveiled in 1972 and in 2002 was moved to its current spot facing the bay.
Opposite rises the Marina Bay Sands, opened in 2010 and designed by Moshe Safdie: three 55-storey towers joined at the top by the SkyPark, a 340-metre platform about 200 metres up. The infinity pool is for hotel guests only, but the observation deck (SkyPark Observation Deck) is open to anyone with a ticket. Next to it is the ArtScience Museum, shaped like a lotus flower.
Every night, in front of The Shoppes mall, there's Spectra, a free light, water and music show of about 15 minutes over the bay. The usual schedule is Sunday to Thursday at 20:00 and 21:00, and Friday and Saturday at 20:00, 21:00 and 22:00, though it changes on special dates.
The best way to see the bay is on foot along the waterfront promenade at sunset: start at the Merlion, cross the Helix Bridge and finish at Spectra.
ℹ️ Distance: City centre; MRT Bayfront (Circle and Downtown Line) or Raffles Place · Best time to go: Sunset and evening, to see the skyline lit up and the Spectra show · Admission: Promenade, Merlion and Spectra show: free. SkyPark Observation Deck: S$ 35 adult off-peak (9:30 to 16:30) and S$ 39 peak (17:00 to 22:00) (source: marinabaysands.com, verified October 2026).

A 105-hectare park with the Supertrees, two giant conservatories and a free night-time light show among the metal trees.
Leer más ↓
Gardens by the Bay opened in 2012 on land reclaimed from the sea, next to the Marina Bay Sands. It covers 105 hectares and its best-known image is the 18 Supertrees, plant-covered vertical structures between 25 and 50 metres tall. Walking around the outdoor gardens is free.
What you pay for is the two conservatories. The Flower Dome, at 1.2 hectares, recreates a cool, dry Mediterranean-type climate with flowers that change with the season. The Cloud Forest has at its centre a 42-metre mountain covered in highland vegetation and a 35-metre indoor waterfall; you go up inside and come down along suspended walkways. Up among the Supertrees are the OCBC Skyway, a walkway between two trees, and the Supertree Observatory.
At night, at 19:45 and 20:45, Garden Rhapsody takes place in the Supertree Grove: a free light and music show. The best thing is to lie down on the ground and look up.
To make the most of it, combine: the domes by day, when it's hottest outside, and the gardens and show at dusk. Check the website for maintenance days, because each attraction closes on specific dates.
ℹ️ Distance: Next to Marina Bay; MRT Gardens by the Bay (Thomson-East Coast Line) or Bayfront · Best time to go: Domes in the afternoon (air-conditioned); gardens and Garden Rhapsody at night · Admission: Outdoor gardens and Garden Rhapsody: free. Flower Dome + Cloud Forest: S$ 46 adult and S$ 32 child aged 3 to 12, non-resident (source: gardensbythebay.com.sg, verified October 2026). Open 9:00 to 21:00 · Duration: Half a day

The historic Chinese quarter: colourful shophouses, a five-storey Buddhist temple, a Hindu temple and cheap hawker food.
Leer más ↓
Chinatown was born in the 19th century as the area Raffles assigned to the Chinese community, and today it is one of the liveliest neighbourhoods in the city. Pagoda, Trengganu and Smith streets are lined with colourfully painted shophouses (two- or three-storey shop-houses), with souvenir stalls, Chinese medicine shops and tea houses.
The most striking building is the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and Museum, on South Bridge Road, opened in 2007 in Tang dynasty style. It has four floors with a Buddhist museum and, on the roof terrace, a pagoda with a large prayer wheel. Entry is free; wear clothing that covers your shoulders and knees.
Very close by, on the same South Bridge Road, is Sri Mariamman, founded in 1827 and considered the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore, with a six-tier entrance tower covered in figures of gods. And a block away is Maxwell Food Centre, one of the most famous hawker centres, home to the Tian Tian Hainanese chicken rice stall.
Go in the afternoon to eat at Maxwell and stay into the evening, when the lanterns light up.
ℹ️ Distance: South of the river; MRT Chinatown (North East and Downtown Line) or Maxwell (Thomson-East Coast Line) · Best time to go: All year; at Chinese New Year (January or February) the whole area is decorated and packed · Admission: Free (temples and streets). Eating at Maxwell: Tian Tian chicken rice S$ 5 to 6 a plate (source: food press articles, August 2026, verified October 2026) · Duration: 3 to 4 hours

Singapore Botanic Gardens
An 82-hectare garden founded in 1859, a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 2015, with free entry and an orchid garden.
Leer más ↓
The Botanic Gardens are the green space locals love most and Singapore's UNESCO World Heritage Site, a status they received in 2015. They were founded in 1859 in the Tanglin district and cover 82 hectares, with lakes, original rainforest, Swan Lake (dug in 1866) and a bandstand where bands played in the 1930s.
They are open every day from 5:00 to 24:00 and entry is free. The only thing you pay for is the National Orchid Garden, with more than 1,500 species and 3,000 orchid hybrids, which is what makes the trip worthwhile. It's open from 8:30 to 19:00, with last entry at 18:00, and tickets are sold at the ticket office at the gate.
For families there's the Jacob Ballas Children's Garden, with its own entrance on Bukit Timah Road. Early in the morning you'll see people jogging and doing tai chi; it's the best time, before the heat sets in.
It combines well with Orchard Road, the shopping mall avenue, which is very close.
ℹ️ Distance: Tanglin district, near Orchard Road; MRT Botanic Gardens (Circle and Downtown Line) or Napier (Thomson-East Coast Line) · Best time to go: Early morning, before the heat and the afternoon storms · Admission: Gardens: free. National Orchid Garden: S$ 15 adult, S$ 3 over-60s and students, free under 12 (standard tourist rate); residents S$ 5 (source: sbg.nparks.gov.sg, verified October 2026) · Duration: 2 to 3 hours

The old Malay and Arab quarter, with the golden-domed Sultan Mosque, Haji Lane and shops selling fabrics and perfumes.
Leer más ↓
Kampong Glam was the quarter of Malay royalty and Arab and Bugis merchants in the 19th century. Its centrepiece is Masjid Sultan (the Sultan Mosque), on Muscat Street: the first mosque was commissioned in 1819 by Sultan Hussein Shah of Johor, and the current building, with Indo-Saracenic influences and golden domes, was completed in 1932 to a design by the Irish architect Denis Santry. A curious detail: the base of the domes is decorated with the bottoms of glass bottles donated by poor families. It has been a national monument since 1975.
Visitors can go in outside prayer times, wearing clothing that covers arms and legs. Friday midday is the main prayer, so it's best to avoid that time.
Around it are Arab Street, with fabric and carpet shops, Bussorah Street, pedestrianised and lined with palm trees, and Haji Lane, a narrow alley full of murals, small bars and design shops. It's a good place to try Malay and Middle Eastern food.
At night the area fills with young people and bars; by day it's quieter and more photogenic.
ℹ️ Distance: North of the Civic District; MRT Bugis (East West and Downtown Line) · Best time to go: Afternoon and early evening · Admission: Free (mosque and streets; respect prayer times) · Duration: 2 hours

Singapore's Indian quarter: the Sri Veeramakaliamman temple, flower garlands, spices and South Indian food.
Leer más ↓
Little India is the most colourful and noisiest neighbourhood in the city, built around Serangoon Road. It is the heart of the Tamil and South Indian community, and it feels different from the rest of Singapore: jasmine garland stalls, gold jewellers, spice and sari shops, the smell of incense and Bollywood music.
The main temple is Sri Veeramakaliamman, at 141 Serangoon Road, dedicated to the goddess Kali. It began as a small shrine in 1855 and the temple was built in 1881, in South Indian Tamil style, with an entrance tower full of figures. You go in barefoot and modestly dressed. During the Japanese occupation it sheltered homeless people.
For food, Tekka Centre, next to the MRT station, has biryani, dosa and roti prata stalls at hawker prices.
During the Deepavali festival (October or November) the streets are lit up and the neighbourhood gets packed.
ℹ️ Distance: On Serangoon Road; MRT Little India (North East and Downtown Line) · Best time to go: All year; at Deepavali (October or November) with special lights · Admission: Free (temples and streets) · Duration: 2 to 3 hours

Singapore Zoo (Mandai)
An open zoo in the middle of the rainforest, with more than 4,200 animals and no visible cages, on the edge of a reservoir.
Leer más ↓
Singapore Zoo is in Mandai, in the north of the island, surrounded by rainforest on the shores of the Upper Seletar reservoir. It is famous for its 'open zoo' concept: instead of cages, the animals are separated by moats, vegetation and glass, and in some areas, such as the orangutans', animals move freely through the trees.
It has more than 4,200 animals. It's open every day from 8:30 to 18:00, with last entry at 17:00, and admission includes the internal tram. There are animal presentations at set times during the day; check the schedule in the Mandai app when you arrive.
On the same site are the Night Safari, River Wonders and Bird Paradise, each with its own ticket; there are combo passes if you want to do more than one. Children under 3 get in free with a ticketed adult.
Watch out for works: in 2026 the African penguin enclosure is closed from August to the end of November for renovation. Getting there takes time: MRT to Khatib and then the shuttle bus to Mandai.
ℹ️ Distance: Mandai, in the north of the island; MRT Khatib + shuttle · Best time to go: Early morning, when the animals are most active and it's less hot · Admission: Non-resident: S$ 49 adult and S$ 34 child aged 3 to 12; residents from S$ 39 on weekdays (source: mandai.com, verified October 2026). Includes tram · Duration: 4 to 5 hours

Night Safari (Mandai)
The night zoo that Guinness recognised as the world's first: a tram and trails among animals that move about at night.
Leer más ↓
The Night Safari opened on 26 May 1994 in Mandai, next to the zoo, and Guinness World Records recognises it as the world's first nocturnal zoo. The idea is to see the animals when they are active: tigers, leopards, hyenas, tapirs, pangolins and others, across 35 hectares of rainforest under dim lighting.
It has more than 900 animals from more than 100 species. The visit comes in two parts: a guided tram covering the whole park, included in admission, and four walking trails (the Pangolin, Leopard, Tiger and Tasmanian Devil trails) where you see animals up close. There's also the Creatures of the Night show, with nocturnal animals and conservation messages.
Don't use flash, because it disturbs the animals, and bring insect repellent.
You can get back to the centre late by public transport, but check the last bus or take a taxi or Grab.
ℹ️ Distance: Mandai, in the north of the island, next to the zoo; MRT Khatib + shuttle · Best time to go: At night, all year; avoid weekends if you can · Admission: Non-resident: S$ 58 adult and S$ 41 child aged 3 to 12 (source: mandai.com, verified October 2026). Includes tram · Duration: 3 to 4 hours

The island of beaches and theme parks south of the city: walk over for free on the boardwalk or take the monorail.
Leer más ↓
Sentosa is Singapore's entertainment island, linked to the city by a bridge and a pedestrian boardwalk from the VivoCity mall. It has three beaches (Siloso, Palawan and Tanjong), hotels, beach bars and several paid attractions.
Walking in along the Sentosa Boardwalk is free. The Sentosa Express monorail costs S$ 4 to get in from VivoCity, and after that it's free to travel between stations on the island.
Inside Resorts World Sentosa are Universal Studios Singapore, the theme park with Jurassic Park, Shrek, Transformers and Ancient Egypt zones, and the Singapore Oceanarium, the big aquarium that replaced the old S.E.A. Aquarium. The island also has the Skyline Luge (wheeled sleds) and the cable car linking it to Mount Faber.
The beaches are nice for spending the afternoon, but the water isn't crystal clear: you'll see cargo ships on the horizon, because the port's anchorage area is just offshore. If you're only going to the beach, don't spend money on tickets; if you're going to Universal, buy online for your date.
ℹ️ Distance: Island south of the city; MRT HarbourFront and Sentosa Express, or the boardwalk from VivoCity · Best time to go: Weekdays, to avoid queues at Universal; afternoons for the beach · Admission: Walking onto the island: free; Sentosa Express S$ 4 (source: sentosa.com.sg, verified October 2026). Universal Studios from S$ 76 adult depending on date (source: rwsentosa.com, verified October 2026) · Duration: 1 full day

National Gallery Singapore
Southeast Asia's art museum, set across two colonial buildings: the former Supreme Court and the former City Hall.
Leer más ↓
National Gallery Singapore opened on 24 November 2015 and occupies two national monuments joined by a new roof: the old Supreme Court, with its dome, and the old City Hall. Together they add up to 64,000 m².
Its collection holds more than 9,000 works and focuses on the art of Singapore and Southeast Asia from the 19th century to the present day. It's a good way to understand the region beyond the beaches: painting from Indonesia, the Philippines, Thailand and Malaysia that is hard to see anywhere else. Besides the permanent galleries, there are always temporary exhibitions, paid separately.
The building itself is worth the visit: you can see the old court's hearing rooms and, from the rooftop, there's a view over the Padang (the big green field) and Marina Bay.
Guided tours are included with admission, subject to availability. It's an ideal plan for a rainy afternoon, and it's a short walk from the Raffles Hotel, St Andrew's Cathedral and the river.
ℹ️ Distance: City centre, in the Civic District; MRT City Hall (North South and East West Line) · Best time: Rainy or very hot afternoons · Admission: Tourists: general admission S$ 20; S$ 5 discount for children aged 7 to 12 and over-60s (source: nationalgallery.sg, verified October 2026) · Duration: 2 to 3 hours

National Museum of Singapore and Fort Canning Park
The country's oldest museum, for understanding the island's history, with Fort Canning hill next door, with its gardens and bunker.
Leer más ↓
The National Museum of Singapore, on Stamford Road, is the country's history museum and occupies a white colonial-era building with a dome. It's the place to understand how a fishing island became a colony, suffered the Japanese occupation and ended up as an independent state in 1965. It opens from 10 am to 7 pm, and citizens and permanent residents get in free.
Behind the museum you climb up to Fort Canning Park, the hill where, according to tradition, the palaces of the ancient kings of Temasek stood. Today it's a park with huge trees and a spice garden that recreates the first experimental botanic garden Raffles set up to trial cloves and nutmeg. The hill is also home to the underground bunkers (the Battlebox) from which the British general Percival commanded the defence until the surrender to Japan on 15 February 1942.
If you're going from mid-October 2026 onwards, check the website to see which galleries are open: the museum is renovating its galleries and has changed its ticketing scheme.
It combines well with the National Gallery and the Asian Civilisations Museum for a full day of museums.
ℹ️ Distance: City centre; MRT Bras Basah (Circle Line) or Dhoby Ghaut · Best time: A rainy morning or afternoon; the park, early · Admission: Tourists: general admission S$ 18 adult and S$ 13 concession from 13 October 2026; All Access pass S$ 20. Free for under-6s (source: nhb.gov.sg/nationalmuseum, verified October 2026). Fort Canning: free · Duration: 3 hours

Asian Civilisations Museum and the Singapore River
A museum of Asia's cultures on the riverbank, the starting point for a walk along Boat Quay and Clarke Quay at sunset.
Leer más ↓
The Asian Civilisations Museum (ACM) is on Empress Place, in a colonial building facing the Singapore River. It's the museum for understanding where each of the communities that make up Singapore comes from: art and objects from China, Southeast Asia, India and the Islamic world, with plenty of space given to the maritime trade that made the city grow. Temporary exhibitions are paid separately.
Once you leave the museum, the river is the best free walk in the city centre. Towards the mouth are Cavenagh Bridge, one of the oldest in the city, and the Fullerton Hotel, which used to be the general post office. Upriver, Boat Quay is a row of shophouses turned into bars and restaurants with tables by the water, facing the skyscrapers of the financial district. Beyond it is Clarke Quay, the clubs and bars area, pricier and more touristy.
Bumboats, wooden boats that do a river cruise of about 40 minutes, leave from the jetties.
Walk the stretch between the ACM and Clarke Quay as the sun goes down: the building lights come on and the heat eases off.
ℹ️ Distance: City centre; MRT Raffles Place or Clarke Quay · Best time: Museum by day; river walk at sunset · Admission: ACM, tourists and foreign residents: S$ 15 adult and S$ 10 concession; free for under-6s (source: nhb.gov.sg/acm, verified October 2026). River walk: free · Duration: 3 hours

Jewel Changi Airport (Rain Vortex)
The airport building with a 40-metre indoor waterfall, described as the tallest in the world, and a five-storey forest.
Leer más ↓
Jewel is a glass-dome building designed by Moshe Safdie and opened in 2019, opposite the terminals of Changi Airport. You can visit without catching any flight: it's a shopping mall with a garden, and locals come here for a stroll.
The centrepiece is the Rain Vortex, a 40-metre waterfall pouring from the roof, described as the tallest indoor waterfall in the world. Around it is the Shiseido Forest Valley, an indoor garden of about 22,000 m² rising over five storeys with some 3,000 trees. The waterfall runs from 10 am to 10 pm. In the evening there's a light and music show on the water: Monday to Thursday at 8 pm and 9 pm, and Friday to Sunday and public holidays also at 10 pm.
On the top floor is Canopy Park, which is paid, with mazes, walking nets high up and bridges.
It's the best way to make the most of a long layover or your last hours before your flight: leave your suitcase at the left-luggage desk, watch the show and grab a bite before boarding. You get there on the MRT to Changi Airport.
ℹ️ Distance: Changi Airport, in the east of the island; MRT Changi Airport · Best time: At night, to see the light show; or before your flight · Admission: Rain Vortex and Forest Valley: free. Canopy Park: S$ 8 standard adult and child; S$ 6 residents (source: jewelchangiairport.com, verified October 2026) · Duration: 2 hours

Southern Ridges (Henderson Waves and Mount Faber)
A free walk on walkways through the southern jungle, with the wavy Henderson Waves bridge and the cable car to Sentosa.
Leer más ↓
The Southern Ridges are a green corridor linking several parks across the hills in the south of the island with walkways, trails and bridges. It's an urban walk through the jungle and it costs nothing.
The best-known spot is Henderson Waves, a 274-metre wave-shaped footbridge made of curved timber ribs, running 36 metres above Henderson Road. It opened in 2008 and links Mount Faber Park with Telok Blangah Hill Park. It's lit up at night. Further on there are elevated walkways among the treetops, where it's common to see monkeys and birds.
From the top of Mount Faber, the cable car (Singapore Cable Car) runs down to HarbourFront and across to Sentosa: a panoramic way to finish the walk.
Bring water, a cap and sunscreen: some stretches have no shade and there are short but steep climbs. It's best to start early in the morning or mid-afternoon and finish near sunset at the top of Mount Faber.
ℹ️ Distance: Hills in the south of the island; MRT HarbourFront to start or finish · Best time: Early morning or late afternoon · Admission: Walk: free. Cable car SkyPass return on both lines: S$ 35 adult and S$ 25 child aged 4 to 12 (online from S$ 32,90) (source: mountfaberleisure.com, verified October 2026) · Duration: 3 to 4 hours

Singapore Flyer
An observation wheel with enclosed, air-conditioned capsules over Marina Bay, with a 30-minute ride and views of the bay.
Leer más ↓
The Singapore Flyer is the city's big wheel, on the edge of Marina Bay, near the Formula 1 circuit. The capsules are large, enclosed and air-conditioned, shared with other passengers, and each rotation lasts 30 minutes. From the highest point, at about 165 metres, you can see the whole bay with Marina Bay Sands, the Supertrees, the financial district and, on the other side, the line of ships waiting to enter the port.
It's open every day, including public holidays, from 10 am to 10 pm, with last entry at 9:30 pm, and there's no need to book a time slot. Besides the standard ride there are dinner or cocktail options, which cost quite a bit more.
Is it worth it, or is the SkyPark enough? The two views are different: from the Flyer you see Marina Bay Sands head-on, which is the classic photo; from the SkyPark you see the city but not the hotel. If you're only going to pay for one viewpoint, the Flyer gives you the most recognisable postcard.
The ideal moment is to go up just before sunset to watch the bay's lights come on.
ℹ️ Distance: Marina Bay; MRT Promenade (Circle and Downtown Line) · Best time: Sunset · Admission: S$ 40 adult and S$ 25 child aged 3 to 12 according to the official brochure; the online shop showed S$ 46 adult (source: singaporeflyer.com, verified October 2026) · Duration: 1 hour

Pulau Ubin
The rural island in the north-east, with Singapore's last kampung (village), cycling trails and the Chek Jawa wetlands.
Leer más ↓
Pulau Ubin is the side of Singapore that doesn't appear on postcards: an island of about 10 km², 10 minutes by boat from the north-east coast, with wooden houses, dirt roads, old flooded granite quarries and jungle. The British knew it as 'granite island': its quarries supplied stone for Horsburgh Lighthouse and for the causeway linking Singapore with Johor. In the 1970s between 2,000 and 4,000 people lived there; today only a few dozen remain.
You get there by bumboat from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal: there's no fixed timetable, the boat leaves once enough people gather (about 12) and you pay in cash on board. When you arrive, in Ubin village there are shops renting bikes and selling food.
The main sight is Chek Jawa, a wetland of about 100 hectares at the south-eastern tip, with a boardwalk through the mangroves and, at low tide, mudflats where you can see crabs and starfish.
Bring cash, water and insect repellent, and keep an eye on the time: it's best to be back at the jetty before 5:30 pm so you're not left without a boat.
ℹ️ Distance: Off the north-east coast; bus to Changi Village and a boat of about 10 minutes from the Changi Point Ferry Terminal · Best time: Weekday mornings; avoid the hottest hours · Admission: Island: free. Bumboat: S$ 4 per person each way, in cash (source: travel blogs and guides, aggregator, verified October 2026) · Duration: Half day or full day

MacRitchie Reservoir and TreeTop Walk
Trails through the jungle reserve in the centre of the island to a 250-metre suspension bridge above the treetops.
Leer más ↓
MacRitchie Reservoir is Singapore's oldest reservoir, the island's first drinking-water system, and is part of the Central Catchment Nature Reserve, the largest area of jungle the island has left. It's where locals go to run and walk, and where you get the best look at the original nature: macaques, monitor lizards, squirrels and loads of birds.
The goal of the walk is the TreeTop Walk, a suspension bridge linking the two highest points of the reserve and running above the tree canopy. It's about 250 metres long, reaches 25 metres in height and links Bukit Peirce with Bukit Kalang, the two highest points in MacRitchie. To get there you have to walk a good distance along trails and boardwalks from the reservoir entrance, so allow several hours there and back. It's free.

Don't feed the monkeys: it's forbidden and they get aggressive if they see bags. Bring plenty of water; there's nowhere to buy any along the way.

❓ Frequently asked questions
Do I need a visa for Singapore if I'm Argentine, Uruguayan, Chilean, Mexican, Colombian or Peruvian?+
No. None of those countries is on the list of nationalities that need a visa according to the immigration authority (ICA, ica.gov.sg, verified October 2026). What is mandatory for everyone: a passport valid for at least 6 months, the SG Arrival Card filled in for free on the ICA website or in the MyICA app within the 3 days before you arrive (don't pay intermediary sites), an onward ticket and sufficient funds. The length of stay is decided by the officer on entry and sent to you by email as an e-Pass. Very important: if you were in Argentina, Colombia, Peru, Brazil, Bolivia, Paraguay, Ecuador, Panama or Venezuela in the previous 6 days, or had a layover of more than 12 hours there, you must show the international yellow fever vaccination certificate; without it you may be quarantined for 6 days.
Is Singapore safe? What laws do I need to know?+
It's one of the countries where people feel safest: in Gallup's Global Safety Report 2025 it came first, with 98 % of adults saying they feel safe walking alone at night (according to sg101.gov.sg). You can get around at night without any trouble. What you do have to respect are the rules: no eating or drinking on the MRT, littering is fined, smoking only in marked areas, and chewing gum isn't sold. Vapes are banned: since September 2025 the fines are steep, and on arrival there are bins at the airport to throw them away without penalty. Drug penalties are very severe, including the death penalty for trafficking. Cross at the corners: jaywalking is fined too.
How many days do you need to see Singapore?+
With three full days you see the highlights: one day for Marina Bay and Gardens by the Bay (with both light shows at night), another for Chinatown, Kampong Glam, Little India and eating at hawker centres, and another for the Botanic Gardens, the Civic District museums and the river. With five days you add the zoo and Night Safari at Mandai (it takes almost a full day, counting travel there and back and the visit), Sentosa and the Southern Ridges. With a week you can add Pulau Ubin, the MacRitchie reserve and a trip to Johor Bahru in Malaysia. It's common to use it as a 2- or 3-day stopover before heading on to Southeast Asia, and it's a great way to get used to the heat and the time difference.
How much money do I need per day?+
Singapore is expensive for sleeping and cheap for eating. A 2026 cost guide (Singapore Spirit) estimates around S$ 95 a day for a backpacker trip (hostel bed, hawker centre food and public transport) and about S$ 280 a day for a mid-range trip with a 3- or 4-star hotel. Transport is cheap: an MRT journey costs between S$ 1,28 and S$ 2,57 with a card. What adds up most is admission: Gardens by the Bay, the zoo and Universal Studios cost between S$ 46 and S$ 83 each, so pick the ones that are worth it for you and make the most of the free stuff (light shows, gardens, neighbourhoods, Jewel). If you buy something expensive, claim the GST refund: once you've spent S$ 100 in a single shop, you can process it at the airport.
Can I pay by card? How do I use public transport?+
Yes, cards are accepted almost everywhere, including many hawker centre stalls (though it's worth carrying some cash for the smaller ones). For transport you don't need to buy anything: tap your contactless Visa or Mastercard, or your phone with Apple Pay or Google Pay, on the MRT gate or the bus reader, when getting on and off. The airport warns that cards issued abroad are charged an administrative fee; if you're travelling for many days, a top-up EZ-Link card or the Singapore Tourist Pass (from S$ 17 for one day) may be worth it. There's no need to hire a car: public transport goes everywhere, parking is expensive and there are electronic tolls. At night or with luggage, Grab and metered taxis are safe.
When is the best time to go? Does it rain a lot?+
It's hot all year round, very humid, with afternoons that go above 32 °C at certain times of year, and it rains every month. According to the official weather service, from December to early January there are longer spells of rain from the northeast monsoon; late January to early March is the driest and windiest period; and from late March to May, as in October and November, there are heavy afternoon thunderstorms that usually last one or two hours. The practical approach is to do outdoor things early in the morning and leave museums, malls and Jewel for the afternoon. Watch out for the dates that push up accommodation prices: the Singapore Formula 1 Grand Prix and Chinese New Year.
Can I take a trip to Malaysia from Singapore?+
Yes, and it's easy. Johor Bahru, the Malaysian city on the other side of the strait, can be reached by train or bus. The KTM Shuttle Tebrau links Woodlands with JB Sentral in about 5 minutes and costs S$ 5 from Singapore (according to a Wise guide from August 2026); the Causeway Link CW1 bus leaves from Kranji MRT station for around S$ 2,60. What takes longest are the immigration queues, especially at weekends and peak hours. Before crossing, check Malaysia's official immigration website for what your passport requires, and remember that on the way back you have to fill in the SG Arrival Card again. The RTS Link train between Woodlands North and Bukit Chagar is scheduled to open towards the end of 2026; check whether it's running before you go.
