About Singapore

Singapore stays tropical year-round, but January-March often feels a touch less oppressive for Gardens by the Bay, Chinatown walks, and Marina Bay evenings. Build indoor museum or mall breaks around midday storms.

Did you know?

Singapore is one of the few cities that has increased its tree canopy while densifying - roughly half the island is covered in greenery despite extreme urbanisation.
Singapore recycles nearly every drop of used water through its NEWater programme, then blends it back into drinking supply - a model studied worldwide for water scarcity.
The Merlion - half lion, half fish - was invented in 1964 as a tourism mascot, not an ancient myth; the lion nods to Singapura ('lion city') and the fish to the island's maritime roots.
