It is advisable to buy the tourist pass for unlimited train rides for 1-3 days. You can buy it at the airport, TransitLink Ticketing offices or even online. You might have to shift your itinerary according to your hotel location, as some locations may be nearer to you than others.

When eating out, check if the tip is included in the bill before tipping the waiter. It is not conventional to tip at hawker centers. Also note that it pays to make a reservation at restaurants and cafes, so it is better to go and find a table during standard lunch hours. When you find the table you want to sit at, you can reserve it by placing a tissue box on the top and can roam around the shops. The climate is hot and humid round the year, so it is advisable to pack light and airy. Singapore is a very safe country, but it is advisable to take the standard safety measures when you travel to Singapore.

Gardens by the bay: The Flower Dome set the Guinness World Record for being the largest glass greenhouse in the world. This place is a must go for plant enthusiasts as there are over 380,000 species of plants from all over the world. The ingenuity and uniqueness of the design make this a must visit when you travel to Singapore. Visit the insides of the Dome when it is hot and humid outside as the insides are cool and lovely. Walking the skyway is a must, as the views of the Marina Bay skyline are great. The Children’s Garden and the Rainforest Tree House are an excellent option for kids to cool down in the heat.

Kinki: Although the place is almost always crowded and noisy, but it is hands down the best place to unwind after a long day of sightseeing and touristing. The view of the Marina Bay Sands is breath taking and the modern Japanese menu is fresh and tasty. The pomegranate miso black cod is a must try and reservations should be made to avoid missing out.

Marina Bay Sands: This place should be on the top of your list when you travel to Singapore. The ‘boat building’ has views unlike any other and although you have to be a guest to be able to iconic infinity pool, you can do the next best thing and that is to catch the elevator to level 57. Grab yourself a cocktail and amuse yourself with the views the top floor has to offer. If you plan to go to the casino, make sure you carry your passport at all times.
