What to pack for Singapore - What goes in your suitcase!

You are going to be doing a lot of exploring when you are in Singapore and you will definitely need a day bag for you to pack your essentials into. While it is best to find a medium-sized backpack that you can fit in your essentials, make sure it is not too small in case you need to put a few impulse-buying shopping items.

Single-use plastics are one of the most destructive items that are harmful to the planet and the animals at the moment and travellers are the majority who use single-use plastics. While this might not be completely avoidable it is best to have a bottle of water with you that you can fill at restaurants or hotels when you run out of water. Most hotels such as PARKROYAL COLLECTION Marina Bay offer a bottle of water to the in-hotel customers which is convenient as you can fill your bottle with that water when you take off for the day.

Even if you are staying at a hotel near Merlion Park or a hotel on Orchard street you are bound to be doing a lot of walking when you are exploring Singapore. The best option is definitely comfortable walking shoes, which will allow you to enjoy the day rather than worry about your feet that are in pain. Since you will definitely be visiting the amusement parks in Singapore you need to pack a pair of slippers or easy sandals so you do not have to remove them and put on your socks and shoes each time you have to remove them to visit temples and other religious sites.

Singapore is a tropical country so you need not worry about winter clothing and you will only need to pack lightweight cotton clothes which are good for the summer. While Singapore is a very fashionable country it is also an expensive country when it comes to clothing unless you are willing to shop at open-air markets and bargain shops. The best options for men are cotton t-shirts and skinny with a few types of denim or pants and the ideal clothing for women are summer dresses, jeans, cotton t-shirts, and tops and shorts. If you are someone who gets cold easily pack a hoodie or a cardigan so you are prepared in case you need it – especially if you are doing some exploring at night.

The shopping malls in Singapore are air-conditioned so you will be protected from the harsh sun rays when you are indoors but it is best to take sunblock and an umbrella with you so you need not worry about stepping out in the sun. Swimwear is also an essential item to pack when you are going for a vacation in Singapore as most of the hotels have swimming pools and you will most likely visit the artificial beach in the country too.

While these are personal preferences antiperspirant deodorant roller or spray is a good option to pack when heading to Singapore as you do not want to be uncomfortable while on vacation. You can get a bottle of insect repellent as well if you are looking forward to exploring the great outdoors.
