Plan your trip

Best time
Year-round, though February to April is slightly drier. Expect warm, humid weather and short tropical showers any time.
How to reach
Frequent direct flights to Changi from across India (around 4–5.5 hours). Indian travellers need a visa in advance — confirm the current e-visa process.
Getting around
The MRT metro is cheap, fast, and reaches almost everywhere. Buy an EZ-Link or tourist pass on arrival.
Rough budget
Singapore is pricier than its neighbours: budget roughly ₹70,000–1,20,000 per person for a week, less if you eat at hawker centres.

A short itinerary

  • Day 1: Gardens by the Bay, Marina Bay, and the evening light show.
  • Day 2: Little India, Chinatown, and Kampong Glam for food and culture.
  • Day 3: Sentosa, the zoo, or a day trip — easy add-ons for families.
