Travelling to Singapore

Getting
here.

A compact, multicultural city at the crossroads of Asia — and one of the easiest in the world to arrive in, get around, and explore.

About Singapore

Singapore sits along the equator in the heart of Southeast Asia, 8 hours ahead of GMT (GMT+8, no daylight saving), with a year-round tropical climate — uniformly warm and humid, typically 25–31°C.

A multi-ethnic city of around 5.6 million, with English as the language of business and government alongside Chinese, Malay and Tamil. Singapore Dollar (SGD) is the local currency, and cards and mobile payment are widely accepted; electrical outlets are Type G (230V), the same as the UK.

Excellent global connectivity

Changi Airport is consistently ranked among the world's best, connecting Singapore to more than 100 cities worldwide — around 20 minutes from Marina Bay Sands by MRT or taxi.

Entry and visa requirements depend on your nationality and change from time to time — always check the official source before booking travel. All visitors must submit an SG Arrival Card online before entry.

Getting around Singapore

Public signage is in English, so delegates can navigate independently with ease. The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) network is one of the fastest ways to get around — most key attractions are within walking distance of a station, and trains are fully accessible to wheelchair users, the visually impaired, and families with strollers.
