Singapore is a city-state small enough to cross by metro in under an hour, which makes it unusually easy to plan: the colonial core, the ethnic quarters of Chinatown, Little India and Kampong Glam, the gardens at Marina Bay and Sentosa island all sit within the same transport network.
The guides on this page cover Singapore as a whole. The climate is equatorial and consistent year-round — hot, humid, with rain possible any month and heavier from November to January. Laws on litter, smoking and certain imports are enforced more strictly than most visitors expect. Hawker centres are the practical way to eat well cheaply, and many hold their own following.
