A total of 18.5
million tourists
visit Singapore every year, and the number is still on the rise.

Why wouldn't they?
Singapore is an awesome country, with a wealth of things to do.

There's something to
appeal to everyone, no matter what appeals to them when on vacation:

• 
  Islands with
  beautiful beaches
  
• 
  Bustling
  metropolitan cities
  
• 
  Exciting nightlife
  
• 
  Thrilling
  adventures
  

If you are taking a
trip to Singapore, it's important to know what to pack so you're
prepared for all of these things and anything else this country has
to offer.

These are the
essentials.

1. Rain Jacket

Singapore doesn't
really have "wet" and "dry" seasons — it
usually rains at some point every single month.

That means that even
if you're taking a Singapore vacation at a time when you expect it to
be hot, you still need to pack some sort of rain gear. Otherwise, you
risk getting caught in a serious downpour!

2. Light, Airy
Clothing

You may need to be
prepared for rain in Singapore, but you also need to be prepared for
the heat.

It's very
hot,
and this place maintains a steady temperature all year round so
there's little reprieve. Make sure you know what to wear in
Singapore.

Your clothing should
be comfortable and easy to move around in, or you're going to
seriously suffer in this country.

3. Bug Spray

Mosquitos and other
bugs carry diseases, and it's important to keep them away.

The government also
do their best to take precautions for the people but especially on
the outer edges, it's difficult to do.

Come equipped with
your own deterrent to keep the bugs away and keep yourself safe.

4. A Portable
Charger

In an unfamiliar
place, it's easy to get lost. The last thing you want to happen is
for your phone to die.

As long as your
phone is alive, you can always Google map your way back to the place
you're staying. Portable chargers are usually inexpensive and can
attach to your phone using a USB cable, so carry it around with you
just in case!

5. A Nice Outfit

Although you want to
be comfortable in the heat, especially during the day, pack a nice
outfit! Singapore clothing tends to be very dressed up.

This is especially
true if you're going out at night. Why not set aside a specific night
to go for dinner and to a nice bar?

The 1
Altitude
Sightseeing Experience is a great place for this, with its amazing
views and high-class style.

6. Sunscreen

If you forget any
toiletries, you can probably just buy them on arrival. But the one
thing you should make sure you have on hand from the start when
traveling to Singapore is sunscreen.

The heat will hit
you the moment you land, and it's important to be well-prepared.
Nothing ruins a vacation more than spending it in agony because
you've been burnt.

Ready for Your
Trip to Singapore?

Aside from these,
you should of course pack anything you usually would for a trip —
medication, cosmetics, travel insurance documentation.

But the above items
are especially important for a trip to Singapore, so don't forget
them!
