Best time to visit

Singapore is warm and humid year-round, so any month works. February to April is usually the driest and most comfortable. November–January sees more rain (the monsoon), though showers are short. Time a visit with a major sale or the F1 night race if that appeals.

Safety & scams

Singapore is one of the safest cities in the world, day or night. The main thing to know is that laws are strict and fines are real — no littering, no jaywalking, no chewing gum sales, no eating on the MRT.

Very few scams; mind strict fines (littering, jaywalking)
