Singapore, Singapore
Singapore is one of Asia's great walking cities, despite the tropical heat, thanks to extensive covered walkways, air-conditioned malls that double as shortcuts, and abundant greenery. Chinatown's streets reveal ornate temples, traditional medicine shops, and hawker centers serving some of the world's best street food. Little India explodes with color, incense, and the scent of fresh jasmine garlands, while Kampong Glam centers around the golden-domed Sultan Mosque and Arab Street's textile shops. The Civic District preserves grand colonial buildings like the Raffles Hotel and National Gallery. The Southern Ridges trail connects parks and gardens across hilltop walkways with canopy views, proving that Singapore's garden city reputation is well earned.

Carry an umbrella for both sun and sudden tropical downpours. Plan walks for early morning or late afternoon, and use the extensive covered five-foot-way walkways to stay sheltered.
February through April is the driest period, though Singapore's equatorial climate means it is warm and humid year-round. Early morning walks are always the most comfortable.
