Singapore is the easiest stopover in Asia — clean, English-speaking, futuristic. Three days is plenty; eat your way through it.
Where to stay
Tanjong Pagar or Chinatown for character and food, Marina Bay for the iconic view, Tiong Bahru for cool cafés. Anywhere on the MRT works.
How to get there
Direct from London (12h) on Singapore Airlines or BA. Changi Airport is a destination in itself — leave time for the Jewel waterfall.
Don't miss
Chilli crab at Jumbo (or anywhere), chicken rice at Maxwell Hawker Centre, and the Cloud Forest at Gardens by the Bay before it gets crowded.
