About
Singapore is one of the most convenient and exciting international destinations for Indian travellers, offering a seamless blend of modern attractions, multicultural food, efficient public transport and world-class experiences. With quick direct flights from major Indian cities, an easy visa process, and an abundance of Indian and vegetarian dining options, travelling to Singapore feels effortless even for first-timers. From the futuristic Gardens by the Bay to the beaches and theme parks of Sentosa Island, and from vibrant neighbourhoods like Little India and Chinatown to the iconic Marina Bay skyline, the city offers something for every age group. Singapore is a sovereign nation—officially the Republic of Singapore—and functions as a unique city-state made up of one main island and 63 smaller islands, divided into well-planned districts rather than separate cities. This destination guide helps you explore the best places to visit in Singapore, plan your itinerary with ease, and understand everything you need to know before you travel to Singapore.
Singapore is a compact island nation in Southeast Asia located just south of Malaysia and north of Indonesia, making it one of the easiest international destinations for Indian travellers. The country has a tropical rainforest climate with warm temperatures, high humidity and occasional rainfall throughout the year. Despite its small size, Singapore features a mix of modern cityscapes, green parks, coastal beaches, man-made islands like Sentosa and protected nature reserves. Indian travellers should be prepared for warm weather, occasional sudden showers and outdoor-friendly travel conditions while planning their itinerary.
The official currency of Singapore is the Singapore Dollar (SGD), and Indian travellers will find it easy to exchange INR for SGD at airport counters, city forex shops or through online forex services. Prices for meals, transport and sightseeing vary, with local food costing around SGD 6–12, MRT rides from SGD 1–2, and attraction tickets ranging higher. Singapore is a highly card-friendly destination, and most places accept credit/debit cards, though it is useful to carry small amounts of cash for hawker centres and local shops. ATMs are widely available, and while UPI is not fully integrated, some merchants accept QR-based international payments depending on the provider.
Singapore is extremely well-connected to India with direct flights from major cities including Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, Chennai, Hyderabad and Kolkata. Most international flights land at Singapore Changi Airport, one of the best airports in the world and an attraction in itself. Flight duration averages between 4.5 to 6 hours depending on the departure city. Indian travellers require a Singapore Tourist Visa, which can be applied through authorised Visa Application Centres. First-time visitors should plan adequate layover time at immigration and enjoy easy airport-to-city transport via MRT, taxi or shuttle services.

Singapore is a year-round destination due to its tropical climate, but the best time for Indian travellers is between December and February when the weather is cooler. Peak season coincides with school holidays, New Year celebrations and Chinese New Year, making it busier and slightly more expensive. Shoulder months like March to May or September to November are ideal for budget travellers, offering fewer crowds and occasional rain. Seasonal festivals like Deepavali in Little India, Christmas light-ups, and Chinese New Year celebrations add cultural charm, making any season enjoyable depending on your interests.
1. Use the Singapore Tourist Pass for Unlimited Travel
Singapore’s public transport is world-class—buying a Tourist Pass gives unlimited MRT and bus rides, helping Indian travellers avoid expensive taxis.
2. Choose Hawker Centres for Budget-Friendly Meals
Vegetarians and Indian travellers will find affordable and delicious meals at hawker centres like Little India Tekka Centre, Lau Pa Sat and Maxwell Hawker Centre.
3. Carry a Reusable Water Bottle
Tap water is safe to drink, so refilling your bottle helps avoid buying ₹150–₹250 bottled water multiple times a day.
4. Book Attractions Online in Advance
Experiences like Universal Studios, Night Safari and Gardens by the Bay are cheaper online and offer timed-entry discounts.
5. Stay Connected with a Local eSIM
Buying a tourist eSIM or SIM card saves on international roaming charges and gives fast internet for maps and translations.
6. Use Free Attractions to Balance Your Budget
Enjoy free activities like Merlion Park, Marina Bay waterfront, East Coast Park, Jewel Changi’s Rain Vortex, and nightly light shows.
7. Shop Smart at Mustafa Centre
Open 24/7, Mustafa Centre in Little India offers good deals on electronics, souvenirs and groceries compared to tourist malls.
8. Use Food Delivery Apps for Indian Meals
Apps like GrabFood let vegetarian travellers find Indian meals easily at reasonable prices without paying restaurant surcharges.
9. Avoid Currency Exchange at the Airport
Airport rates are poor—exchange only a small amount there and convert the rest at Mustafa Centre or The Arcade, Raffles Place.
10. Use Translation Apps for Smooth Communication
If you don’t speak Mandarin or Malay, apps like Google Translate help reduce confusion when ordering food or navigating local areas, saving time and money.
Light Cotton Clothes
Singapore is hot and humid year-round, so breathable clothes like cotton T-shirts, shorts, and dresses are ideal.
2. Comfortable Walking Shoes
You’ll walk a lot—whether at Sentosa, the Zoo, Universal Studios or Marina Bay—so pack cushioned shoes.
3. Lightweight Rain Jacket or Umbrella
Sudden tropical showers are common, especially from November to January, so always keep rain protection handy.
4. High-SPF Sunscreen
The tropical sun is strong throughout the year; SPF 30–50 is recommended, especially for outdoor attractions.
5. Essential Medicines
Carry your regular medicines along with basics like paracetamol, antacids and motion-sickness tablets, as branded medicines can be expensive locally.
6. Universal Travel Adapter
Singapore uses Type G plug sockets, so Indian travellers must carry a compatible adapter for charging gadgets.
7. Portable Power Bank
Navigation, tickets, and QR-based payments drain battery quickly—keep a charged power bank for all-day sightseeing.
8. Swimwear & Beach Essentials
For Sentosa beaches, Adventure Cove Waterpark, hotel pools or cruises, swimwear and quick-dry towels are necessary.
9. Snacks for Kids & Vegetarian Travellers
While vegetarian food is widely available, carrying ready-to-eat packets, snacks or instant meals is useful for long days out.
10. Basic Travel Documents Folder
Keep printed copies of visas, flight tickets, hotel vouchers, insurance and attraction pass for smooth entry at various attractions.
