The Experience

Before You Go

Start early to beat the heat

Carry a refillable water bottle

Singapore has many potable water fountains and refill stations — stay hydrated in the tropical climate.

Comfortable, closed-toe shoes

Expect paved streets and occasional uneven sidewalks; supportive shoes keep your pace steady across neighborhoods.

Use public transit between sectors

Leverage the efficient MRT for longer transfers — your guide can direct you to the nearest stations to save walking time.

Conservation Note

Urban conservation focuses on protecting green corridors and reservoirs; stay on paths, avoid feeding wildlife, and use refillables to reduce single-use plastic.

Singapore’s modern neighborhoods grew from a colonial entrepôt and the mingling of Malay, Chinese, Indian and European communities, visible in its temples, mosques, shophouses and street food culture.
