Singapore

COUNTRY  PROFILE

Singapore is both an island and a country, but perhaps its best description is that of city – state.

Though this is physically a small country, it has been Southeast Asia’s most modern city for over a century.
The city blends Malay, Chinese, Arab, Indian and English cultures and religions. The award winning Changi –
International Airport provides air links to major cities around the world. 

Singapore’s tropical climate welcomes the both leisure and business travelers year round.

This  island country’s excellent infrastructure enables visitors to enjoy its many sites and attractions in a  safe, clean and green environment. Its unique ethnic tapestry affords visitors a wide array of sightseeing and culinary opportunities from  which to choose. In addition, Singapore offers luxury hotels, delectable cuisine and a great shopping !

Day trips are popular to Sentosa Island , the island amusement arcade which is linked to the south coast by a short causeway and cable car.  Music, theater, nightlife: all are abundant in this remarkable city.

For those who enjoy the sun and the beach, Singapore is an ideal place for beach lovers, as you get the hot sun  throughout the year.

In addition, its state – of – the – art cruise terminal has established Singapore as one of the premier cruising centers of South East Asia and an exciting port of call on any Asian cruise itinerary.

[1] PEAK SEASON :: FROM NOVEMBER THROUGH EARLY JANUARY , AND JUNE AND JULY

Though November and December are the winter , it also brings a bit more rain. The travelers to Singapore tend to be at their peak during the holidays due to the combination of winter travelers, holiday festivals and the usual business traffic.

The crowds peak again in June and July during the great Singapore sale. June to August is considered to be the best time to visit, but even then it rains often. When it does rain, it’s generally only for a short period.

[2] SHOULDER SEASON ( MID – JANUARY THROUGH MAY )

The average season to visit here in Singapore is considered to be from the mid – January through May. And April in particular is a good time to be in Singapore as there are no public holidays during this month and it doesn’t fall during monsoon season, though you can expect high heat and humidity year round.

[3] LOW SEASON ( AUGUST THROUGH OCTOBER , EXCEPT MID – SEPTEMBER

There is a slight break in the tourist traffic during late summer and early fall, with the exception of mid-September due to the Singapore Grand Prix.

Although the Southwest Monsoon arrives around this time, it’s less severe than its Northeast counterpart. Temperatures are also slightly higher than what you’ll find during the rest of the year.
