Singapore is a beautiful country and is a tourism hotspot in Southeast Asia. In 2019, Singapore attracted over 19 million international tourists. This is approximately three times the size of the population in Singapore. Hence, with all that, let us take a look at the beauty that this gem holds in its land.
First, for tourists travelling to Singapore, the currency is called Singapore Dollars, normally abbreviated with the dollar sign $, or S$ to distinguish it from other dollar-denominated currencies. Since Singapore is a destination for many travellers, some of the places of attraction accept US Dollars and Sterling Pounds. However, it is advisable to carry Singapore Dollars for ease of transaction.
Now, let’s get into it.
