Singapore consistently ranks among the top 5 most-visited cities in Asia, and for good reason. It combines the efficiency and safety of a world-class city with the warmth and flavour of Southeast Asia. For UK travellers, it ticks every box: English is the official language, food hygiene standards are among the highest on earth, and Changi Airport, consistently voted the world’s best, makes arriving and departing genuinely enjoyable.

But what really sets Singapore apart is the sheer variety packed into just 730 square kilometres. In a single day, you can walk through a Hindu temple in Little India, eat at a hawker centre in Chinatown, explore a colonial-era neighbourhood in Kampong Glam, and watch the sun set over Marina Bay. There is no other destination on earth that compresses this much cultural, culinary, and architectural richness into such a small space.

Our team at Tour Expert has first-hand experience building and operating Singapore packages. We know which hotels give you the best value in the Orchard Road belt, which hawker stalls are worth the queue, and which time of year to avoid the school holiday surcharges. We bring that ground-level knowledge into every package we build.

Why Book With Tour Expert Instead of TUI or a Search Engine?

Unlike large package holiday providers such as TUI, we don’t work from a fixed catalogue. Every Singapore holiday we sell is built around you, your travel dates, your group size, your preferred hotels, and your budget. When you compare Singapore holidays TUI from UK vs. Tour Expert, the key difference is personalisation. TUI sells from a fixed menu. We build your trip from scratch.

We’re also London-based, UK-registered, and contactable by phone, email, or WhatsApp, not a chatbot. Our team includes travel consultants who’ve personally visited Singapore and understand the difference between a hotel that looks good on a brochure photo and one that actually delivers.

Marina Bay — Singapore’s Iconic Waterfront

No Singapore holiday is complete without spending time around Marina Bay. This is the visual centrepiece of the city, where the Marina Bay Sands hotel and its rooftop infinity pool dominate the skyline, the Helix Bridge glows at night, and the ArtScience Museum sits at the water’s edge like a giant lotus flower. In the evenings, the Spectra light-and-water show on the promenade runs for free, every night. It’s the kind of spectacle that makes you understand why Singapore attracts over 19 million tourists a year.

• Marina Bay Sands Skypark, one of the world’s most photographed infinity pools
• Gardens by the Bay, 18 Supertrees and the world-famous Cloud Forest and Flower Dome
• ArtScience Museum, rotating exhibitions where science meets creativity
• Helix Bridge and the CBD skyline at night

Sentosa Island — Where Families and Couples Both Win

Sentosa is Singapore’s leisure island, connected to the mainland by cable car, monorail, or a footbridge, and packed with world-class entertainment. Universal Studios Singapore sits here, as do some of Singapore’s best beach clubs, luxury resorts, and the S.E.A. Aquarium. For couples, the quieter southern beaches offer a surprisingly peaceful escape from the mainland crowds. For families, a full day here barely scratches the surface.

• Universal Studios Singapore, 24 rides across 7 themed worlds
• S.E.A. Aquarium, one of the largest in the world
• Palawan Beach and Siloso Beach, Singapore’s only oceanfront beaches
• Cable car ride from Mount Faber with panoramic city views

Chinatown & Little India, Singapore’s Cultural Heart

Singapore’s strength is its multi-ethnic culture, and nowhere is this more visible than in Chinatown and Little India. Chinatown’s shophouses have been meticulously restored, today you’ll find incense shops next to craft beer bars and traditional medicine halls next to modern art galleries. Sri Mariamman Temple, the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore, sits here. Just a few MRT stops away, Little India’s Serangoon Road explodes with colour, fragrance, and noise, flower garlands, gold jewellery, and the best Indian food outside of South Asia. Both areas are easily walkable and completely free to explore.

Kampong Glam, The Malay Quarter

This is Singapore’s creative district, centred around the gold-domed Sultan Mosque and the famously colourful Haji Lane. Street art covers almost every wall, independent boutiques and vintage stores line the narrow streets, and the food scene here is some of the best in the city. It’s consistently overlooked by first-time visitors and consistently beloved by those who find it.

Orchard Road, Shopping and Upscale Dining

If you’re looking for shopping, Orchard Road is Southeast Asia’s answer to Oxford Street, but with better air conditioning and more upscale options. ION Orchard, Paragon, and Ngee Ann City cover everything from global luxury brands to high street names. The hotel options directly on Orchard Road are also among Singapore’s most practical for tourists: central location, direct MRT access, and walking distance to most food and entertainment options.

What Are the Best Months to Visit Singapore?

Singapore sits just 1.3 degrees north of the equator, so the climate is tropical year-round, warm, humid, and prone to short, sharp downpours at any time. That said, there is a meaningful difference between the dry and wet seasons, and choosing the right months can make a real difference to your experience.

The best months to visit Singapore are February through April. February is typically the driest month of the year, humidity is at its annual low, and the city is still buzzing from Chinese New Year celebrations. March and April continue the dry season with consistent temperatures around 30–32°C and fewer rainy days compared to the rest of the year.

May and June also see good weather before the inter-monsoon season arrives. The wettest months are November through January (northeast monsoon season), when afternoon downpours can last several hours and outdoor activities become less predictable.

If your Singapore holiday falls during the wet season, don’t cancel, most attractions are indoors or covered, the rain rarely lasts all day, and hotel prices are noticeably lower. Just pack a compact umbrella and carry on.

Is Singapore Expensive as a Holiday?

Yes, Singapore is one of the most expensive cities in Asia, and among the most expensive in the world. Accommodation costs sit above Bangkok, Bali, and Kuala Lumpur, restaurants in the CBD can charge London prices, and attractions such as Universal Studios, Gardens by the Bay’s domed conservatories, and the Marina Bay Sands observation deck all carry significant entrance fees.

That said, Singapore is not uniformly expensive. The city’s hawker centre network, government-managed food markets found in every neighbourhood, serves genuinely excellent food at prices that are hard to believe. A full plate of Hainanese chicken rice at Maxwell Food Centre costs under £4. A bowl of laksa at a kopitiam coffee shop might cost £3. These aren’t tourist traps, they’re exactly where Singaporeans eat every day, and the quality is superb.

For accommodation, the price range is wide. A standard 3-star hotel on the MRT line can cost £100-£130 per night for two. A 5-star property like Capella Singapore or The Fullerton Hotel runs £350-£600+. Marina Bay Sands, because of its global fame, commands a premium at £350-£500+ per night.

Our honest assessment: budget around £150-£200 per person per day for a comfortable mid-range experience in Singapore, excluding flights. If you want to stay at flagship properties and dine at upscale restaurants, budget £350-£500+ per person per day. We can work to any budget, enquire and we’ll tell you exactly what’s achievable.

What’s the Cheapest Month to Fly to Singapore from the UK?

Based on historical pricing patterns, the cheapest months to fly from the UK to Singapore are January (after the New Year rush ends) and September to early October (the inter-monsoon period). These windows sit outside the major school holiday periods and the Singapore national holiday cluster around Chinese New Year in January/February.

January flights from Heathrow to Changi can dip to £450-£600 return on direct routes with Singapore Airlines or British Airways. During peak months (July, August, December), the same routes regularly exceed £900-£1,100 return. The difference across a trip for two people can easily be £600-£1,000 on flights alone.

Booking 4-6 months in advance consistently delivers the best prices for Singapore, regardless of month. Last-minute deals to Singapore are rare, it’s a high-demand route year-round. If you’re targeting 2026, the window to lock in good prices is open now.

How Long Should I Holiday in Singapore?

The honest answer is 5-7 nights for a first visit. Singapore is compact, you can cover the main areas by MRT in a way that no other major Asian city allows, but it rewards a slower pace. Trying to do it in 3 nights means rushing every experience. Seven nights gives you time to explore each district properly, take a day trip to Pulau Ubin or Johor Bahru across the border, and still have an unplanned afternoon wandering.

For a combined trip, Singapore plus Bali, Singapore plus Kuala Lumpur, or Singapore plus Thailand, 5 nights in Singapore is a comfortable allocation. It covers the must-sees without feeling rushed.

Our most popular Singapore holiday package duration is 7 nights. Our 5-night option suits those combining Singapore with another destination. We can build both. Enquire to discuss your specific plans.
