SINGAPORE

After years of talking about it, we finally made it to Singapore and it’s every bit as multi-cultural, futuristic, and delicious as we hoped. Think jungle-green pockets and sky-high gardens woven between sleek architecture and heritage neighborhoods, all easy to explore and even easier to love.

Best Time to Visit Singapore

Singapore is pretty much always hot and muggy, but the real trick is dodging the rain. Your best bet is to aim for February through April—that's your golden window for the driest weather. Definitely try to skip the super rainy stretch in November and December, unless you enjoy daily downpours.

And a heads-up on crowds: it gets packed and pricey during July and August as well as big holidays like Chinese New Year, so plan around those if you can. Oh, and a weird one—sometimes from July to October, haze from nearby fires can roll in and make the air quality pretty nasty, so that's a good thing to keep in the back of your mind.

No matter when you book, just always have an umbrella and a plan to duck inside because a sudden shower can pop up anytime!
