Attractions
Klook* is the best website to book attractions and tours in Singapore. This is not surprising as it is an Asian-based startup. We have booked several museum tickets and tours through them.
Accommodation
Booking.com* is our go-to website for accommodations in Singapore. It typically has the best deals and best cancellation options. In the big cities it is also worth to check Airbnb.com for self-catering apartments. Check out guide to the Best Cheap Hotels in Singapore.
Getting Around
For public transport in southeast Asia, 12Go Asia* is a great platform that simplifies bookings, for example from Singapore to Malaysia.
Rentalcars.com* is the website we use to rent cars everywhere in the World. We can recommend it based on our experience in different countries.
Payments
Wise* is great for payments abroad: You can hold and convert between 40 currencies and pay with a single card in the local currency, avoiding a lot of transaction fees. We use it everywhere abroad as the costs are transparent and low and the service is super simple & convenient.
Insurance
Safety Wings* is great if you are looking for a medical and travel insurance with a good coverage all over the World outside of your home country. It is not the cheapest option but the service is flexible and you can even subscribe from abroad, ideal for nomads. We used the service in the past when traveling in Africa and Asia.
