Singapore

Hawker meals, one garden worth the ticket, and a city that is easy to price.

Good to know

Go: Eat at hawker centres. Use the paid tickets for one thing you actually want.
Skip: Skip a third attraction ticket. The city is walkable and a lot of it is free.
Eat: Chicken rice or laksa at a hawker centre. Sit where the queue is local.
Entry: Singapore requires a visa for some passports and lets others in visa-free. Apply before you book a stay you cannot cancel.
Timing: Short, heavy rain most afternoons. Mornings are easier. February, August are easier.
