SINGAPORE

ABOUT SINGAPORE

I had the incredible opportunity to spend several days in the beautiful city of Singapore solo traveling during my three-week trip to Asia. This modern paradise is by far one of the most pristine regions I have ever visited, everyone was so lovely, and it was very easy to travel to alone -- I would recommend it to all my fellow solo female travelers! There are so many things to do, but you can certainly visit all major sites in several days.

Travel Tips - Singapore

Lodging

I had the incredible opportunity to stay at the AMOY Hotel by Far East Hospitality booked with Expedia. I do not have one bad thing to say about this hotel, it has everything you could ever want -- very friendly and helpful staff (they truly go above and beyond), situated in incredible location within a walkable distance of most tourist sites here in Singapore and right next to food spots, and it takes place in a restored historical building! The staff was truly incredible, I got TWO thank you notes (one handwritten), an arrangement of desserts, free tea when I checked in, and a personalized greeting every time I walked in and out of the door -- they were exceptional! If the location and quality of the accommodations did not speak for themselves here, the staff would have carried by entire endorsement of this hotel. I could not recommend this hotel enough; it is one of my favorites out of all my travels. It was even voted Tripadvisor Travellers' Choice - Best of the Best 2024 and 2023!

Transportation

Getting around Singapore is VERY easy -- even for a small-town gal like myself who still gets nervous taking the bus back home! Singapore itself is a very walkable city, but if you need and or want to take the metro or bus you can easily get a Tourist Pass. There are different bundles and such you can get, but I decided to just do the one-day pass due to the fact that I only had enough cash for the $17 (Singaporean dollars) fee, and they only handle these passes in cash for some reason, so plan accordingly! The metro was very easy to use from there and be sure to download your area on Google Maps for seamless navigation. Otherwise, you can use Grab as a taxi service to get around as there is no Uber or Lyft in the country.

Activities
