If there's a place for first time and solo travelers to visit, Singapore is perfect. With its clean surroundings, efficient transportation systems, and helpful locals, you're guaranteed to get around without a problem—even if you're directionally challenged! Families will also love the abundance of child-friendly tourist hot spots, among them the famous Sentosa Island, Merlion Park, and Singapore Zoo. The safeness of the city means you can go on late night walks with little fear, and rest assured that no matter how crowded it gets, you will not encounter pickpockets. Just arm yourself with sunscreen—their weather is just like ours except more humid—and don’t chew any gum (it's illegal!), and you’ll be all set to trek around the city.

FN's own Belle Yambao went on a four-day trip to Singapore with her family, and experienced the charms of the city firsthand: exquisitely structured buildings, jam-packed streets full of life (and food!), and probably some of the best cabbies in the world (only in Singapore will the taxi drivers make sure you have your change before leaving!). She confesses that her favorite part of the trip was being able to walk around the city at all hours without fear. For Manila girls used to clutching their bags in a vise grip, this will certainly be a refreshing change. The city is also home to a growing Filipino community—you won’t really feel that homesick with all the Pinoys around!
