I felt pretty safe Went on a little cruise in the evening. Went to Sentosa Island (Universal Studios) Travelled everywhere by the metro, was pretty easy to navigate once got the hang of it. Went to Gardens by the Bay, was like it was out of Avatar..

Singapore was the most safest country I’ve ever been. It was very beautiful very well designed. If you eat in food centers, the food is very affordable much cheaper than Europe . Of course there are luxurious restaurants to.

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

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.

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 in Malay, Chinese, English, and Tamil. I also felt extremely safe - I travelled with family, however I am sure I would feel safe if I were to travel by myself. I would definitely recommend visiting China town and Little India. I think Bugis Street can be a little crowded, nonetheless I enjoyed it. The National Museum is also a good place to visit - especially if you're curious about the history of Singapore and it's diverse population. Taking the cable cars to Sentosa Island was a fun experience and would recommend especially since you get to go on multiple cable car lines for a day pass. We also visited Universal Studios at Sentosa Island, HOWEVER, I would definitely skip it if visiting during the holiday season (or just busy times of the year). Each ride has a wait time, and we had to wait between 25 and 120 minutes for most rides. As you can imagine, we couldn't go on many :( There is a an ABUNDANCE of food options and places for people with different dietary requirements. Food is central to any culture and I truly wish we had spent more time exploring the range of cuisines available in Singapore. If visiting Sentosa Island, I would recommend Malaysian Food Street near Universal Studios. We stayed at Arcadia Hotel on Hamilton Road - great location and budget-friendly. The hotel staff were very welcoming and our rooms were made up every day. Little India is about a 15 minute walk away and there were plenty of food options close by. There were also two MRT stations close to the hotel (2-3 minute walk) which meant it was easy for us to travel by train throughout our stay. I think it helps to locate the stations close to the hotel as soon as you arrive as it will make travel to and from the hotel stress-free. Bus service is also reliable across the island. We also purchased NETS cards - a prepaid debit card used widely by locals in Singapore - that helped to control our spending. It can be used for travel by train and bus, and also when purchasing in all kinds of shops. MRT stations also have kiosks where you can top up the card by using cash or bank card. This is a great option to manage spending, especially if visiting for a longer period.

I grew up in Singapore and got black out drunk every weekend, partying in clubs from 11PM to 6AM. Never had any experience of sexual assault in the 19 years I lived there. Also walked alone at night all over the city- never had an issue.

Singapore is super safe, people leave their phones/laptops on the table at hawker centers to reserve the space during lunch or dinner time. We don’t worry about robberies or violent crime, it’s safe to walk around at night. Lots of CCTVs everywhere to deter crime.
