Planning Your Trip

More than a global financial hub, Singapore is also a city where foodies, explorers, collectors, socialites and change-makers meet and indulge in their passions. With world-class events, iconic tourist attractions and futuristic skyscrapers filled with lush greenery, there's just as much happening outside the boardroom as inside.

What to Pack

The weather in Singapore is warm year-round, so pack a swimsuit for impromptu trips to the pool.

Business Travel
  • Singapore’s equatorial locale means a warm, humid climate — but looking professional is still important.
  •  
  • Carry business cards as it’s common to exchange them at most meetings. Follow local custom by using both hands to present your card and accept new ones.

  • For men, a well-tailored suit is standard for daytime meetings. If you’re heading straight from the office to evening drinks you can simply remove your jacket and tie for a smart yet casual look.

  • Women are encouraged to dress formally and wear heels. While donning a jacket provides a polished look, it is not strictly required.
Exploring the City
  • Many tourist attractions are located in the same area, making it easy to see the sights by foot. 
  • Bring a water bottle to stay hydrated. Singapore’s tropical climate means temperatures can be quite warm.
  • Pack a swimsuit for an impromptu trip to the pool to cool down.
  • Always carry a small umbrella. The weather is often unpredictable, and passing showers can occur in a flash, especially during monsoon season.
  • Smart-looking walking shoes will keep your feet comfortable as you spend a full day exploring the city.
  • Casualwear, such as a summer dress or a T-shirt and jeans, is perfect for shopping trips along the Orchard Road shopping belt.
Day Trips
  • Don’t let Singapore’s relatively small size fool you. There’s plenty to see and do nearby. 

  • For a family-friendly visit to Sentosa Island, bring swimwear for the beach and the Marine Life Park, as well as a change of clothes for exploring Universal Studios Singapore.

  • Casualwear, such as a summer dress or a T-shirt and jeans, are perfect for shopping trips along the Orchard Road shopping belt.

  • Bring binoculars if you’re heading to the Sungei Buloh Wetland Reserve. The protected site is a globally recognized stopover for migratory birds.
