Singapore is one of South-east Asia's popular holiday hubs; a quintessential destination where one can enjoy tropical vibes in lush surroundings even though the city is a fully developed concrete jungle. Singapore is where you can wander around the parks and shops and get dressed up for a gala night out at ritzy venues. Not to be forgotten are those excursions to Sentosa Island. Well then what do you take along for a holiday in Singapore? Read this guide on how to pack for a Singapore vacation.

1.Here Is A List Of Essentials Every Traveller Must Pack For A Singapore Vacation

A travel backpack is a basic. Since Singapore is a wanderer's destination you must take along a lightweight bag. Minimise the roll along luggage and pack your essentials in a carry-on backpack. If you choose a travel backpack its more lightweight and easier to manage than a hiking backpack. They open up similar to a suitcase enabling you to easily and quickly find what you need, while a hiking backpack opens at the top which means you need to pull everything out to find that one item. Also, choose a waterproof backpack, since Singapore is inherent of sudden showers, especially during the monsoon season.

Swimwear and protection from the sun are essential when travelling in the tropics. Visiting places like Sentosa Island means you will want to chill on the beaches and enjoy a swim in the ocean, hence a good swimsuit should be a part of your essentials together with sunglasses to protect your eyes when out and about, as well as, plenty of your favourite sunscreen. And since Singapore serviced apartments are the uber-chic choice of most millennial travellers you will find the favourites, such as, Pan Pacific Serviced Suites Orchard Singapore come equipped with swimming pools which are ideal for cooling down and working on your tan. So, plenty of sunscreen folks and your best swim gear!

Other essentials to pack for when you travel to the tropics are mosquito repellent; you will find handy when visiting the parks or exploring the suburbs. A good filter water bottle too is needed since you must stay hydrated in order to avoid dehydration, when travelling in a warm climate. Not to be forgotten is that bottle of antiperspirant, as well as, a travel adapter. Since Singapore uses the G-power sockets, those of you travelling from countries not using the same will need to take along a travel adapter to keep your tech-gadgets charged.

2.Clothing You Must Pack For Your Holiday In Singapore

Singapore offers a variety of experiences; from shopping at Orchard Road to exploring the pretty parks to picnics at the beach and chilling at Robertson Quay. You will also be spending loads of time at the hawker food markets. And since Singapore is a tropical destination where only a wet and dry season applies you will need plenty of comfy cotton clothes to keep you cool.

Take along plenty of cotton t-shirts and loose-fitting shorts of capri pants. Summer dresses and skirts too are ideal while you need a good pair of sneakers since you will be doing quite a bit of walking when in Singapore. You also need to pack one good outfit. There are lots of classy venues in Singapore for dining and entertainment, and the locals tend to dress up when frequenting these places, and you too will want to fit right in when enjoying an evening out in some elegant attire. A dressy shirt and pants for gents and classic dress for the ladies with a good pair of sandals will work well.

3.Pack For Rain When Travelling During The Monsoon Season

Singapore, like most destinations in South-east Asia, experiences showers during the monsoon season, taking place from November to January. In order to be prepared, you may want to take along a lightweight raincoat or an umbrella, as well as, a cardigan for times the temperature drops, especially in the nights. However, as a tropical destination, Singapore's weather tends to remain warm, even during the rainy season. So, make sure even your cardigan is a lightweight one that's easy to store in your backpack.

Don't forget the other basics like your camera, wet wipes and your ID card. Ready to pack for Singapore and set-off on that awesome adventure?
