To see the essentials (Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay, and the ethnic neighborhoods), 3 days is plenty. If you want to enjoy Sentosa Island or go shopping on Orchard Road, 4 or 5 days is ideal.
Your must-sees in Singapore are: the light show at Gardens by the Bay, the views from the Marina Bay Sands hotel, the Botanical Garden (a World Heritage Site), and getting lost in Little India and Chinatown.
Singapore has a constat tropical climate, so it's always hot and humid. However, the months from February to April tend to be somewhat drier. Always carry a small umbrella because storms can appear at any time!
Singapore is the most expensive destination in Southeast Asia, with prices comparable to those in major European capitals. Keep in mind that the budget per person is around €120-150 per day.
Singapore is probably one of the safest countries in the world. You can walk safely around any area at any time, although it's recommended to take the usual precautions you would in any large city.
If you're traveling with your family or looking for theme parks such as Universal Studios, it's worth it. Sentosa Island also has artificial beaches, although they aren't the typical paradisiac beaches of Asia; they're more focused on leisure and beach clubs.
You must cover your shoulders and knees. As it's a multicultural city, you'll find Buddhist temples, Hindu temples, and mosques; in many of them, you'll be asked to remove your shoes at the entrance.
Citizens of the United States, the United Kingdom, and Australia don't need a visa for tourist stays for up to 90 days. You must hold a passport valid for at least 6 months, complete the online SG Arrival Card (SGAC) within 3 days before arrival, and provide proof of an onward or return ticket out of the country.
You can reach the center via the impeccable MRT (metro), by bus, or by booking a private transfer with Civitatis to go directly to your hotel.
