When is the best time to go to Downtown Core?
The best time to visit the Downtown Core is between February and April, or from July to September, as these periods offer a good balance of pleasant weather and fewer crowds.

Singapore generally experiences consistent warm temperatures and high humidity throughout the year, with average daily temperatures around 27°C (81°F). However, the monsoon seasons bring heavier rainfall. The Northeast Monsoon (December to early March) brings more frequent, shorter showers, while the Southwest Monsoon (June to September) has less rain but higher humidity.

Visiting in February to April means you'll mostly avoid the heaviest monsoon rains and the peak tourist season towards the end of the year. You can expect plenty of sunshine, making it ideal for exploring outdoor attractions like the Gardens by the Bay or taking a stroll along the Marina Bay waterfront.

For those who don't mind the humidity, July to September is another excellent window. While it's technically within the Southwest Monsoon period, rainfall tends to be less intense and more sporadic than in the earlier monsoon season. This time often sees fewer international tourists compared to the year-end holidays, meaning you might find better deals on flights and accommodation.
Can I cancel my hotel reservation on Expedia?
Many Expedia hotel reservations are refundable, provided that you cancel before the hotel's cancellation deadline − this is often within 24 to 48 hours of your scheduled arrival. If you have a non-refundable booking, it might still be possible to receive a refund if you cancel it within 24 hours of booking. Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. For maximum flexibility, use our 'Fully refundable property' filter during your search to find the right Downtown Core hotel for you.
