Singapore Travel Guide - Travel to Singapore
Travel to Singapore - Why visit Singapore? This East-meets-West travel destination offers Eastern-style tidiness and order and Western-style development and infrastructure. Singapore is the best of both worlds. The city-state (it’s also an island), once a site for trading, is now one of the busiest ports in the world and a popular travel destination. As traders have exchanged goods over time, different cultures—Chinese, Malay, European, Arab and Indian—have blended there.
When to visit Singapore? For travelres, climate is not a major consideration, as Singapore gets fairly steady rainfal throughout the year, usually in sudden, heavy showers that rarely last longer than an hour. If shopping and eating are your major concerns, July is a good month to visit as the Great Singapore Sale and Singapore Food Festival are held then. And Thaipusam, one of the most spectacular festivals in Singapore, occurs around February.
International Flights to Singapore
Singapore is one of Southeast Asia’s largest aviation hubs. A swag of airlines fly into Singapore’s ultramodern Changi international airport. Every airline of any size in Asia offers international flights to Singapore. And there are also direct services to Europe, the Middle East, New Zealand, Australia, North America, and even South Africa.
Lodging in Singapore
Lodging in Singapore is expensive by South-East Asian standards, particularly in the higher price brackets. Lower-end hotels and hostels remain affordable and available throughout the year.
