Current Travel Situation
Belgium to Singapore: What You Need to Know
Belgium and Singapore have strong trade and diplomatic ties. Singapore is a key hub for Belgian companies operating in Southeast Asia, and Belgium ranks among Singapore's important European trading partners in chemicals, pharmaceuticals, and machinery. Singapore is often described as Asia's most accessible city: it is clean, safe, multilingual (English is an official language), and impeccably organized. It serves as an ideal first stop for Belgian travelers exploring the region.
How to Get There
No direct flights from Brussels to Singapore. Connect via Amsterdam (AMS) with KLM or Singapore Airlines, Paris (CDG) with Singapore Airlines or Air France, or Frankfurt (FRA) with Lufthansa or Singapore Airlines. Total travel time is around 14-16 hours. Singapore Airlines is consistently rated among the world's best.
Money & Banking
Singapore uses the Singapore Dollar (SGD). Cards are widely accepted and Singapore is increasingly cashless. PayNow (local app) is common but Belgian contactless cards work at all major establishments. Singapore is relatively expensive by Asian standards but comparable to major Western European cities for hotels and dining. Hawker centers offer exceptional value for food.
Practical Tips
Singapore's MRT (metro) and buses are efficient and affordable: use the EZ-Link card or contactless card for transit. Singapore is very safe with strict laws: chewing gum sales are restricted, littering is heavily fined, and drug penalties are extremely severe. The food scene is exceptional: hawker centers offer world-class meals at low prices. Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, and Sentosa Island are top attractions.
