Choose Public Transport
Singapore is unbelievably well connected. Whether it be the bus or underground, you can roam around freely all day long! However, most public transport services are limited during late hours and you may have to rely on taxis, which may be a little on the expensive side! Planning your itinerary here plays an important role. If you plan smart, you can always save those couple of bucks. There are transport apps too, and it’s best to download them for easy transportation.
Cash and the Likes
While it isn’t necessary that you carry cash everywhere, it’s better to have some on you. Cards are accepted everywhere, and ATMs are also available all over.
Tipping is not necessary here, although it is appreciated.
Singapore is expensive when it comes to accommodation and shopping. Plan smart and book in advance to get the best deals.
Enjoy Wi-Fi
Wi-Fi is literally everywhere. Parks, museums, and all other public places have Wi-Fi. it’s best to make use of this luxury, rather than buying any kind of internet for your phone.
Rules and Regulations
Singapore has strict rules and regulations regarding cleanliness and violence. It is best to read about them in detail as you want to avoid offending anyone by mistake. Also, since you are traveling alone, it’s better you are aware of all that you could go wrong!
Socialise
Friendly people all over this country, from locals to tourists, this land will bring out the best in you! Opt for hostels as it is a great place to meet new people!

Set out to Sentosa, spend a day at Jurong Bird Park, go for a small cruise, stroll through Chinatown and eat in Little India!

Singapore is an astonishing travel destination and it has lots to offer, Nafisa. Plus, it seems like a perfect destination for solo travel. When would it be the best time of the year to explore it?
Hi Agness! The best time to explore in between the month of Feb and April. During this time not too hot and so best to move around. To attend many festivals, not a bad idea to visit in Aug/Sep as well.
I would say these tips are spot on! We were just there a about a month ago and I loved the city so much. Three days was not enough. I hope to go back again but with more money since we’re traveling asia on a budget hahah. Despite having many free things, it was a bit expensive and people need to come prepared. Loved everything about it though!
Thanks Edith for sharing your experiences. 🙂

Hi, can you please suggest an itinerary for 5 days in Singapore. Thanks in advance
Hello, For first two days explore Little India, Marina Bay, Orchard Road, Colonial District, and Kampong Glam. Third day you can keep for Chinatown and Sentosa Island. Thiong Bahru, Botanic Garden, and Singapore Zoo consider for last two days. Overall, it all depends on which area you select to stay. For budget accommodations best to stay nearby Little India.
