When To Visit Singapore

One of the greatest cities in the world, Singapore is an ever-expanding cosmopolitan hub that is beautiful to visit in its own right, or as a base to explore Malaysia and other surrounding Asian countries. Perhaps appearing only as a concrete jungle, there is actually a wealth of cultural gems to find, from the authentic cuisine on offer in Chinatown to the artistic nature of Haji Lane. Amongst the towering skyscrapers, seek out one of the many inner-city gardens and jungles, designed as green hideaways for the people of Singapore. Not only does Singapore offer all this and more, but many activities are put on offers for free, such as the world-famous light and sound show at Gardens by the Bay- an unforgettable experience.

Singapore

Singapore often gets called “Little Red Dot“. The term reflects that the total land area of Singapore is no more than 716 km² and it is only a Little Red Dot on the world map. Originally the term was used to refer to Singapore in a disparaging manner by former Indonesian President B.J. Habibie. In 1998 he apparently did not feel that Singapore was a friend to Indonesia, whereas he pointed to a map and said: “It’s OK with me, but there are 211 million people [in Indonesia]. All the green [area] is Indonesia. And that red dot is Singapore.” The whole “Little Red Dot” remark caused an outcry as it was seen as a dismissal of Singapore. But today the Singapore citizens and politicians use the term with pride and as an expression of their success despite their physical limitations.

Singapore is a great place to visit year round with warm and tropical temperatures year round. If Singapore has a high season it has to be November – June with most tourists from winter leisure travelers, the usual business traffic and numerous holiday festivals (with the Chinese New Year as the biggest).
