How to Plan a One Day Trip to Singapore

While you're making your footprints across Southeast Asia, you might come across various destinations that offer you good day outs; and Singapore, a tiny island nation that lies off the shoreline of the Malaysian Peninsular, ranks among the first few. Here's how you can plan a splendid one-day trip to this spectacular destination.

Pick the Best Time to Visit

Singapore is a year-round destination. With its tropical climate, it's no surprise that its climate is more inclined to be hot and humid throughout the year, much like many other countries in the region. Singapore defines its weather patterns based on two seasons: the wet and dry seasons. The Northeast and the Southwest monsoons affect the weather of Singapore at different times. However, the time between February and March is considered the best time to plan a visit to Singapore; this is when the country is at its driest. However, unanticipated downpours could occur even during this period – a watery cloud is never far away in this country.

First Half of the Day

Singapore isn't a country that can be explored if you're in a hurry. There's an abundance of things to see and do around this small island nation. Make sure that you plan your one-day itinerary for this country including a few selected attractions to explore with plenty of space to breathe. Once you arrive at the Lion City, kick start your day by heading straight over to Chinatown; it's the perfect place to grab a delectable bite before you commit to your itinerary. It is one of the most quaint and fancy neighborhoods in the country. Chinatown reminds you of the country's sumptuous heritage with its beautiful Peranakan shophouses; these offer excellent photo opportunities that would help you add a splash of colour to your Instagram feed.

Located within a 5-minute driving distance from PARKROYAL On Kitchener Road Singapore via Jalan Besar, Little India is a vibrant and colourful area where one is guaranteed to have a good time. Prepare yourself to be introduced to a completely different culture; the area flaunts glittery temples and tandoori joints, offering its visitors a bit of authentic Hindy culture. As you near noon, head down to Tekka centre to grab a savoury Indian snack to address your rising pangs of hunger.

Second Half of the Day

Being a tropical country, the weather in Singapore can be a bit harsh. It will be best if you explore the Lion City in a sheltered area – and what better way to escape the sweltering heat of noon than shopping in Orchard Road. It's where you can treat yourself to a fantastic shopping experience in the country. But did you know that Orchard Road offers much more than meets the eye? It's not only for shopping that Orchard Road is famous for but it's also popular for its alluring recreational opportunities such as climbing indoor climbing walls.

Orchard Road also lets you recreate your childhood memories at BOUNCE Singapore. Next, jump back in the MRT and go to Clarke Quay. Here, you can look forward to enjoying a few drinks with your friends, family, or a loved one.

Other Tips to Note
