Singapore is often named one of the world’s best cities, and this year is no different with it coming in sixth place in the ‘World’s Best Cities’ report.
It then came in 23rd in Time Out’s Best Cities 2026 list in March.
Now, it’s even easier for Brits to explore with Singapore Airlines increasing its routes from both Manchester and London Gatwick later in the year.
From July 13, the Manchester to Singapore services, will increase from five-times weekly to daily.
And from October 25, flights from London Gatwick will increase from 10 times a week to a twice-daily service.
In total this means Singapore Airlines will launch six daily flights in total from London, which includes the four daily services from London Heathrow.
Direct flights to Singapore from the UK take between 13 and 14 hours.
At the moment, and through next week, temperatures in Singapore have highs of 30C, in fact it’s around that temperature year round, so you are guaranteed to get some warmth no matter the month.
Being one of the world’s best cities, there’s plenty to do from exploring its impressive architecture to visiting its futuristic nature park, Gardens by the Bay.
The world-famous attraction is home to the world’s largest glass greenhouse, an indoor waterfall, and a viewing platform up high on its Supertree.
The Sun’s Deputy Travel Editor Kara Godfrey recently visited the city, and here’s what she had to say.
She said: “I didn’t expect to love the city as much as I did, but I loved how safe and clean it felt compared to other major cities.”
“It’s the kind of place where you’ll never struggle to find amazing food, no matter what your budget is.
“Make sure to look up too – most buildings have living walls or rooftop gardens as strict rules mean any new structures must replace greenery they build on.”
Other must-visit spots include the neighbourhood of Joo Chiat that has been named one of the world’s coolest neighborhoods.
It has beautiful pastel-colored Peranakan shophouses, rich Eurasian heritage, and a mix of traditional eateries and trendy cafes.
For incredible views across the skyline, one of the best free spots is at Henderson Wave Bridge, which is the highest footbridge in the city.
As for eateries and bars, some of Kara’s favourites include Keng Eng Kee which has been family-run for more than 50 years.
Or at the indoor market food hall called Hawker Chan, you can get Michelin meals for less than £5.
