Essential Travel Tips for Singapore

Singapore is known for its strict laws, which help maintain its reputation as one of the safest and cleanest cities in the world. Nevertheless, here are some crucial tips:

  • Be mindful of local regulations, such as the bans on chewing gum and jaywalking, to avoid hefty fines.
  • Always carry your travel documents and understand the entry and exit requirements, especially if Singapore is a stopover on your way to other destinations.
  • Keep updated on vaccination requirements and health advisories, including precautions against insect-borne diseases like dengue fever.
  • Stay hydrated - Singapore can be incredibly humid.
  • Watch your valuables in crowded tourist areas.
