Singapore is one place you\u2019ll never be bored. Crowned as the most expensive city in the world, this spectacular Southeast Asian jewel is one of diversity, boasting its fair share of local culture, contemporary architecture, international cuisine and world-class attractions \u2013 so you can expect an itinerary overflowing with exciting things to experience during your time here.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

From artsy galleries to beautiful botanical gardens and plenty of history to uncover at the many awe-inspiring temples, there\u2019s something for everyone to discover in this city \u2013 no matter what time of year you visit. Singapore is a year-round destination, however, we recommend that the best time to visit (if you want to tick off the major sights) is between December and June, with February to April being the most popular window during the city\u2019s dry season, meaning little rain, low humidity, yet plenty of glorious sunshine.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When is the best time to cruise from Singapore?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The most suitable time to cruise from Singapore is between December and April, when the summer heat begins to cool down and the weather isn\u2019t as humid. You won\u2019t be needing your jacket though, as the temperatures may be cooler but still hover around a toasty 23\u00b0C and 29\u00b0C in the evening.<\/p>\n\n\n

What should you do whilst you\u2019re in<\/strong> Singapore?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

We hope you\u2019ve packed your walking shoes, because despite Singapore\u2019s small size it\u2019s bursting with extraordinary things to see and do \u2013 so be sure to have your itinerary to hand! The city is partial to world-class rated attractions, with accolades including the largest rooftop infinity pool, the world\u2019s first safari park for nocturnal animals, an extravaganza for an airport, and its awe-inspiring Gardens By the Bay feature. Speaking of which, this hugely popular tourist attraction should be at the top of your list \u2013 existing as an innovative space that stretches over 101 hectares, Gardens By the Bay is an urban garden slap bang in the heart of the bustling city centre. Included in its futuristic design are a handful of iconic Supertrees \u2013 a vertical garden spectacle that lights up at night – while you can also admire the Cloud Forest for its cascading waterfall, and the largest glass greenhouse in the world at the tropical Flower Dome. Of course, it would be rude not to cool off (while admiring views of the gardens from above) at the neighbouring Marina Bay Sands infinity pool, too.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A visit to the hipster (and totally insta-worthy) Kampong Glam district is a must if you\u2019re after a melting pot of history and culture, religious learnings, colourful 19th<\/sup> century buildings, delicious food, arts and crafts stalls, and an all-round vibey atmosphere. Crowned as Singapore\u2019s Muslim quarter, this trendy neighbourhood plays host to top attractions including the spectacular Sultan Mosque and Malay Heritage Centre, not to mention a bunch of quirky shops and cafes. Equally, a wander through the 8-acre outdoor art park Haw Par Villa will be a feast for the creative types, since it features over 1000 traditional Chinese sculptures \u2013 each of which tell a story.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Head to the lively two-mile stretch on East Coast Road for some of the best eateries in the city and fuel up ready for Singapore\u2019s popular Night Safari experience. This whopping 86-acre reserve houses over 2,500 nocturnal animals from across the globe, where you can observe them at leisure and even during feeding time \u2013 if you\u2019re an animal lover, a 40-minte tour is highly recommended.<\/p>\n\n\n
