It was a very fun trip, nice people, just don’t go into any scratchy streets but that’s probably common sense.. Santosa island was super fun, china town was cute and you can get a lot of souvenirs. If you don’t want to spend a lot of money just go out at night watch the light show and walk around at night ( not in scratchy places) the city looks beautiful in the dark with Al the lights!

Public transportation here is so reliable. It's so easy to use public transportation. For solo traveler, this country also safe. Some food are nice. If compare to other countries around, it's quite expensive. For quick travel, it's recommend.

When I went to Singapore, I felt very safe, very excited, and also very impressed. Singapore is a very clean city and everyone looks busy. When I was there for few days, the weather was very hot. It was a great few days, but due to time constraints, I didn't get to explore all the sights or other areas of Singapore. I plan to return there in the future😊

Singapore is very safe and very clean aswell, quite expensive for hotels but they also have affordable hostels you just have to check the ones with closed up doms for a bit of privacy. But most of them are in the central so it's easy to walk around and explore

Woodlands, Group travel

Good public transport. Food is also good. Everything is fast paced. The people are not very friendly though. Not much to do in Woodlands, but every other city can be reached via MRT, and the MRT ride is cheap.

Singapore, Family travel

I travelled with family to Singapore at a time that is expected to be super busy and potentially stressful for travelling - new year's eve - and I would still rate it as excellent. Even though I didn't travel solo, I think it is a great location for solo-travellers, especially beginners. This is probably because of how organised the city and it's facilities are. For example, the MRT (or public transport system) is extremely efficient and reliable. It's easy to navigate with guidance available...

Singapore, Solo travel

I always felt extremely safe while solo traveling in Singapore. I used their public transportation to get around most of the time, which was terrific and easy to navigate. I also used Grab a few times. The treetop walk was breathtaking, a must see! It’s a more expensive place than nearby countries, but the infrastructure was beautiful and I never once felt uneasy or unsafe. Food at hawker centers was delicious and very affordable. People generally mind their own business, but were kind and...

Singapore

Singapore is an extremely safe city with a low crime rate throughout the country. Feel free to walk the streets safely at night, or carry your belongings freely without fear of pickpockets or snatch theft. Singaporeans often leave their valuables on the tables in restaurants or foodcourts because we trust the public safety. Of course, low crime doesn’t mean NO crime so still be aware of your surroundings!

Honestly, there’s not much to worry about safety. Safe to walk around at night even as a woman, we leave our personal belongings on the table to reserve it. The most likely crime to occur is upskirt photos but even then, it’s unlikely

Singapore is extremely safe for any traveller, especially ladies. You can leave your phone out and it will still be there even after leaving for an hour and walking home after heading to a club is perfectly safe

You can walk on the streets at night with no issue at all, did not have a single thought in 30+ years of my life that I will have any mishaps. Almost everywhere there's cctv and most places are convenient to get to.

Singapore is one of the safest cities in the world. CCTV cameras everywhere, people are polite and disciplined. Most of the citizens here work or study well so petty crime is almost non-existent. The government supports everyone including immigrants and tourists alike which is reflected in our infrastructure, policies and economy.
