Buy Singapore dollars (SGD) before you leave for Singapore
A trip to Singapore means discovering a country with a thousand facets: modern cities, a multitude of cultures and architecture that you will not find anywhere else. However, it is important to prepare your trip well before leaving by finding out as much as possible about your destination country in order to be familiar with its practices and customs, as well as the use of the country's official currency, which in this case is the Singapore dollar (SGD). For some of your purchases and activities, it will be useful to have cash, although the use of bank cards is widespread. For this reason, it is advisable to do the eur sgd exchange before your departure.

Some suggestions for your stay
Garden by the bay, a must-see tourist site. You will find giant metal trees of more than 20 meters high, covered with vegetation and LEDs. It is also possible to take a short ride on top of these trees while perched on a footbridge. There is also the flower dome and the cloud forest that you can visit while you are there.
The Marina Bay Sands, which is 200 metres high, is home to the longest and highest infinity pool in the world! You'll definitely want to say you've been there, you can book a night at the hotel to get there or just access the viewing platform next to the pool.
The Merlion: A lion-headed, fish-bodied statue that spits water is an important symbol of Singapore.
Singapore's colonial district is a must-see as this is where Singapore was founded.
Take a diversion to Chinatown! You'll feel even more out of place with the beautiful surroundings and traditional architecture that awaits you.
Some of the areas to discover and understand the culture of Singapore are: Katong, Kamong Glam, Little India.
A cruise on the Singapore River will certainly amaze you if you are looking for a little relaxation.
When do you need cash in Singapore?
Card payments are widely accepted in Singapore, but there are still certain situations where having cash on hand is very useful!
Hawker centres — large open-air food courts filled with street-food stalls — allow you to enjoy all the country’s specialities at often affordable prices. However, the vast majority of these stalls accept only cash payments. Make sure you bring some dollars with you to avoid leaving on an empty stomach!
Some traditional shops also prefer cash to card payments. Likewise, when making donations during visits to Chinese, Hindu or Buddhist temples, you will need to have cash dollars.
Overall, keeping some SGD in cash with you is always good practice to help you deal with unexpected situations (a phone running out of battery, a card terminal malfunctioning or poor network coverage).
