Singapore is one of those countries which does not have 4 seasons. The weather in Singapore is always hot and humid. This makes any season is a good time to visit Singapore. So if you, a Londoner, has not decided on your spring break destination and lazy to spend time planning for the trip, Singapore is the best place to go for you.
1. Of course, it's all started with a promotional airfare
If you have not decided on the destination for your spring break, you have one day (yes, last booking to be made tomorrow) to secure the promotional fare at GBP 496.45 from London Heathrow to Singapore Changi Airport with Qatar Airways. The airline also has promotional fare to Singapore from both Birmingham and Manchester too.
2. It is a retail therapy heaven
If you love to shop, you will love shopping at the famous Orchard Road. Tourists who fly out through Changi Airport can take advantage of Singapore's tax-free shopping policy with 7% GST refund on qualified purchases. Sweet! If you are a shopaholic, I recommend you to stay at one of the hotels along the Orchard Road. My personal favourite hotel is of course Mandarin Orchard Singapore for its comfy bedroom and convenient location right in the middle of Orchard Road. A night at Mandarin Orchard Singapore costs around GBP 145.65. That's considered normal for a hotel located in Orchard area.
3. It has some fancy architectures and great night view
If you love fancy architectures, you should visit Marina Bay Sands and Helix Bridge. Marina Bay Sands has everything from a shopping mall to a casino to an upscale hotel. Its trademark, the infinity pool is located at the top of Marina Bay Sands Hotel. Last time, the hotel allows visitors to visit the infinity pool at an allocated timing without having to stay the night at the hotel. However, now the access to the pool is strictly limited to the hotel guests only. So, if you want to try swimming in an infinity pool, you may consider staying the night at Marina Bay Sands. You will not regret the view from above though despite one night at Marina Bay Sands costs you around GBP 256.29.
4. The yummy street food
Singapore has a lot of great street food in basically, every shopping mall in the island. You can eat a lot of good stuff and it does not cost a lot, really. Especially, if you are fine eating in a local hawker centre which usually is not equipped with an air-conditioner.
5. Easy to get around
The country is so small, it is basically only taking an hour to travel by train from the most east part of the island to the other end. You can travel by train, bus or cab in Singapore and the transportation fare is quite reasonable compared to other developed countries.
