Best Time to Visit Singapore
Singapore is a year-round destination, but the best time to visit is during the dry season from February to April. During these months, you'll experience less rainfall and plenty of sunshine, perfect for outdoor activities and island hopping. The months of June to August are also popular, though slightly warmer, while the year-end (November to January) typically sees more frequent tropical showers.
Currency & Money
The local currency is the Singapore Dollar (SGD). Singapore is a highly cashless society; credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, Amex) are accepted almost everywhere, including in taxis and small boutiques. Tipping is not a standard practice as a 10% service charge is usually included in the bill at restaurants and hotels, but it is always appreciated for exceptional service.
Getting Around Singapore
For the luxury traveler, private chauffeur services and ride-hailing apps like Grab (Premium) are the most convenient ways to navigate the city. Singapore's MRT (Mass Rapid Transit) is world-class and efficient for those who prefer it, while luxury car rentals are available for those who wish to drive. Domestic flights are not necessary given the island's size, but private yacht charters are the preferred method for reaching offshore islands.
