Why go
Singapore is the most frictionless city in Asia — and the easiest place to take children, parents or a first-time flyer.
Singapore is the most frictionless city in Asia — and the easiest place to take children, parents or a first-time flyer. Everything works, everything is signposted, nobody is trying to overcharge you.
It's small, so you don't need long. Four nights covers the highlights properly; add a fifth if you want Sentosa and the museums without running.
Note that Indian passport holders need a visa for Singapore — it's an e-Visa applied through authorised agents, and we handle the whole file for our clients.
