The rainy season is November and January, when downpours can persist for hours, while May and June are the warmest months.
The transitional months between summer and winter are lovely. Then a plethora of outdoor pursuits becomes available.
While tourists come to Singapore all year, the festive season is a terrific time to see the city's numerous features, particularly during July when the Great Singapore Sale and the Singapore Food Festival actually occur.
Singapore's land site comprises 64 outlying islands that encircle the main island, which you may not be aware of. Sentosa (the largest of the offshore islands), Pulau Ubin, St John's Island, and Sisters' Islands are only a few of them.
This skyscraper-filled city is also surrounded by verdant nature. About half of Singapore's land area is covered with green (roughly 700 square kilometres).
In Singapore, chewing gum is prohibited. Gum can only be chewed by individuals who have a prescribed medication!
Don't be astonished if Singaporeans punctuate their sentences with exclamations like 'lah' and 'leh.' Singlish, a vibrant native slang, is an important component of Singaporean everyday dialogue. Singlish is a jargon and a group of buzz words inspired by Singapore's diversity.
Singapore is a big city, making it tough to see everything on foot. However, you should take a stroll through each area to get a sense of the local ambiance and views. The Singapore Tourism Board's tourists centres offer free topo maps and walk tour suggestions.
The MRT subway system is large, clean, efficient, affordable, and simple to use - everything you desire from public transportation. The cost of a ticket is determined on the distance travelled and often ranges from SG$1 to SG$2.50 (about $0.74 to $1.85). If you're in Singapore for a longer length of time, consider getting an EZ-Link reusable card for SG$12 (about $9) rather than single price tickets to save money and avoid ticket lineups.
Buses run across the country and can take you anywhere you want to go. That is, assuming you know which ones to choose. For first-time tourists, the multiple bus lines may be overwhelming or confusing. The cost of a ticket is determined by the distance travelled, the time of day, and the type of traveller (adult, children and senior citizen fares are offered).
If you need to go somewhere quickly, hail a cab. Taxis are inexpensive: the metre starts at SG$3 to SG$5 (about $2.24 to $3.75) and goes up to SG$0.22 (approximately $0.16) every kilometre after that. The number of drivers will speak English, so make an effort to converse with them for local information.
English, Malay, Tamil, and Mandarin Chinese are the official languages of Singapore.
