How to plan a solo trip for women in Singapore

Compared to most countries, Singapore is very safe for solo women travellers. It is one of the safest destinations in the world and has a very low crime rate. Nevertheless, if you are a woman and you are planning a trip to the region after the lockdown ceases, you would be assured with some of these pointers.

Being solitary will attract attention but it's harmless

It's completely alright to be a tourist in Singapore. What is considered dangerous in other countries, walking with a backpack on and mouth open, constantly referring to Google Maps on your phone will not get you in any trouble when you are in Singapore. People in Singapore are very busy thanks to their hard work ethic and apart from maybe a cursory glance, they will respect the privacy and personal space of everyone around them. If you are staying at a hotel near Harbourfront Singapore, you will find that you can simply wander off into the city without a plan and make it back in the evening without hassle.

The tourist attractions

You can always opt for city tours if you don't want to go out into the city on your own. But these have the disadvantage of being very rigorously planned. Many luxury hotels like the Park Hotel Alexandra offer their own experiences with a chauffeured car that you could consider for more off the beaten track options of exploring the city.
But if you do choose to wander off on your own there is no real reason to worry. The crime rates in Singapore are next to non-existent and the city is very friendly and safe for women.

The diversity

If you are travelling on your own, then some of the best places that you can visit are the diverse parts of the city. Singapore has a very rich culture that has amalgamated from its Chinese, Indian and Malay populace. So, you will find that each of these ethnicities has its own quarters of town where you can find local delicacies and cultural intricacies.
Little India is where you would go for spices and well-designed clothes that are inexpensive. Chinatown has the hawker centres made famous lately where you can get a hearty but inexpensive meal.

A dash of culture

You can also explore the rest of Singapore for a dash of culture in its historical remnants. There are plenty of places of worship; old temples, Hindu kovils and churches that come with their tales of history and heritage. It would take several days to explore most of them and hear their stories.

What to wear

Singapore is a cosmopolitan city so whether you are in a hijab or shorts and a tank top you will not be judged. People in Singapore believe in co-existing and your choice of clothes all depends on your comfort level. But you may be interested to know that Singaporeans appreciate style and will be impressed by people who look well put together. You will not need to bring your muddy shoes as the city is well-drained and requires your best walking shoes instead. It is also important to remember that Singapore can get very hot and humid as it is situated close to the equator. It can also rain a lot so be sure you are prepared for both eventualities.
And so, you will find there is nothing else to be afraid of when you are travelling to Singapore as a solo female traveller. Just go out there and enjoy yourself and your visit in the comfort of your privacy.
