A cultural melting pot
With longstanding Chinese, Malay and Indian communities, Singapore is a cultural melting pot, and its neighbourhoods reflect this heady mix. In Chinatown, street vendors jostle for business with first-rate dim sum restaurants, while ornate temples grab the eye. In Little India, colourful 1920s buildings and Deepavali Market seem to teleport you to modern Mumbai.
Shop till you drop
For a dose of retail therapy visit Orchard Road, one of Asia’s most famous shopping streets. It is home to iconic shopping malls, upmarket restaurants, art galleries and late-night entertainment for every taste and budget. When you make the most of cheap flights to Singapore, you’ll be spoilt for choice of activities and entertainment.
When to go
Only just north of the equator, Singapore is warm all year round so Singapore flights are always in demand. The tropical climate means it doesn’t have seasons in the traditional sense. Temperature-wise, February to April is quite pleasant, while May and June sees things get quite hot and sticky with an average of 27 degrees Celsius. The tropical showers of the North Monsoon arrive in November and stay until January.
In terms of travel, peak season for flights to Singapore is December to June, with especially high demand from mid-December to January or February, culminating in the Chinese New Year, which is a colourful spectacle you won’t forget in a hurry.
July can be a fun time to book direct flights to Singapore as the Great Singapore Sale and the Singapore Food Festival both take place, and there also are plenty of events going on outdoors. In 2018, the third weekend of September sees Formula One roll into town. Return flights to Singapore won’t break the bank, with great bargains to be had year-round.
