What to pack for a trip to Singapore       

Visiting the beautiful Garden City of Singapore is thrilling as the nation has a tropical climate making it possible to admire the beauty in the surroundings, explore the markets and the malls, and visit beautiful gardens and other attractions if you are on holiday, or if it is work cum pleasure still find some time to experience the vibes of this great city. Whichever your purpose for visiting Singapore is packing smart will make your visit a worry-free one.

What to pack

What you need to pack for a trip to Singapore, or any other destination is not only your clothing and accessories but many other important things associated with the type of trip and the climate. Having a mental or written checklist is always useful to accomplish this so that you are not in a state of near panic on the day you intend to travel.

As a smart traveller, it is also important to remember that less is more when you travel. And in a country like Singapore, everything is available, and you can purchase if something you needed had not been packed due to oversight as experienced by guests at Kitchener hotels in Singapore.

Cotton or linen garments are ideal for Singapore as the temperature is mostly close to 30 degrees centigrade or more. Select loose-fitting ones so that the garment does not cling to your body if you perspire.
If your visit is Business cum Pleasure, your Business Suits need to be packed as well. Choose well-tailored cotton suits if possible whether dress suits or trouser suits unless you are having the meeting or conference in an air-conditioned venue and travel to and back from the meeting venue is possible in air-conditioned comfort.
As you also intend to explore more of Singapore, you would be spending time outdoors visiting nature and amusement parks, experiencing retail therapy etc, pack a couple of pairs of shorts, and a few tees to mix and match.

Accessories

To go about a comfortable pair of walking shoes is a must apart from your dress shoes meant for Business Meetings. Remember not to carry brand new shoes when travelling as you don’t want to spoil your holiday/cum business travel as appropriate by ending up with a shoe cut.

Take along your favourite backpack so that when getting about in Singapore, and even when attending a business meeting you have all your little necessities in one bag such as your passport, water bottle, first-aid items and even your wallet. It is up to you to opt for a backpack or a suitable day bag for this important purpose.

A sun hat with a wide brim to protect your face and most of your upper body is another must when travelling to Singapore as used by most discerning travellers such as those using PARKROYAL Kitchener Road.

Swimwear

Packing swimwear is a must if you are on holiday, as Singapore is home to many amusement parks with water-based activities, plenty of beaches and of course swimming pools to immerse yourself in to soak in water to soothe your body.

Other handy items

Sunscreen – not only pack sunscreen but remember to apply it daily before you step outdoors on all exposed parts of your body, ensure your water bottle is re-fillable and keep yourself hydrated as you spend time outdoors.

Umbrella – You may experience unexpected showers during your visit to Singapore, hence it is wise to pack a foldable umbrella that you can carry about in the backpack or day bag. These spells of rain are mostly of short duration, and you can continue to explore Singapore once it has ceased.
 

Mobile Chargers – Pack your usual one and a backup too in case something happens to the original charger as not being contactable while you are travelling is very inconvenient.
