Why Singapore
Compact, easy to get around, and a practical stopover on longer routes.
Singapore is small enough to cross in under an hour and dense enough to fill several days. It is one of the easiest cities anywhere to navigate, which makes it as good for a short stopover as for a full trip.
- Gardens and waterfront
- The Marina Bay waterfront and the gardens and glasshouses beside it.
- Hawker food
- Hawker centres serving Chinese, Malay and Peranakan cooking side by side.
- Neighbourhoods
- Kampong Glam, Chinatown and Tiong Bahru, all walkable and distinct.

When planning matters
Worth sorting out before you go.
- Check entry requirements early
- Visa and entry rules depend on your nationality and change over time. Please confirm with the official guidance for your route.
- Travel dates make a difference
- School holidays, festivals and peak seasons affect what's available. If your dates are flexible, tell us — it gives us more to work with.
- Plan the arrival, not just the flight
- Late-night and early-morning arrivals are much easier with a transfer arranged in advance.
- Match the stay to the plan
- Choose the area around what you'll actually do each day, not only the hotel itself.
