Singapore Travel Guide: What to See, Do, Costs, & Ways to Save

It's always a good time to visit Singapore! Singapore doesn't have a distinctive high and low season. The country is year-round warm and kind.

The peak season comes during November to June, especially during Chinese New Year. Singapore has a lot Chinese travelers due to close location. These months also have relatively cool temperature.

If you want to avoid crowdy tourists, late summer and early fall (July to October) is still a good time to travel to Singapore.
