Singapore

The last time I was in Singapore was a VERY long time ago. (I can’t even remember which year! Maybe 2007?)

For that and since my information might be outdated, I decided to gather information from all the other fellow travel bloggers, and travel websites to combine this list for you, based on my own taste! So let’s call this list a #hello965approved Singapore list ?

I made it back to Singapore in November 2024, and luckily, I was able to explore a little bit and update this post for you!

About the weather… Singapore generally remains hot and humid all year round. Tourists visit throughout the year! It’s November during my update to this post, and it’s raining and HUMID. ladies, pack your hair gel and spray!
