Travel trends for 2026 are shifting. The days of "revenge travel"—rushing from one landmark to another just to say you’ve been there—are fading. Enter the "Whycation."

This year, travelers aren't asking where to go; they are asking why they are going. They want connection, relaxation, and memories, not just a camera roll full of blurry photos taken in a hurry.

If you are visiting Singapore this January 2026, you have picked the perfect time and place for a "Whycation." The weather is cooler (thanks to the tail-end of the monsoon winds), the festive crowds of Christmas have cleared, and the pre-Chinese New Year buzz is just starting. But Singapore can be overwhelming if you try to tackle it via complex subway maps and separate ticket queues.

Here is how to embrace the art of "slow travel" while seeing more than ever, using Singapore City Passes and the iconic FunVee™ Hop-On Hop-Off Bus.

The Secret to a "Whycation": Don’t Plan, Just Hop On

The biggest stressor in travel is logistics. How do I get to Marina Bay? Which bus goes to Chinatown?

For the ultimate stress-free trip, the FunVee™ Hop-On Hop-Off Bus is your new best friend. Included in almost all of our Singapore City Passes (we’ll get to the exception later!), this bus removes the navigation nightmare entirely.

Instead of staring at Google Maps underground, you are sitting on an open-top deck, feeling the January breeze, and watching the city unfold.

Flexibility is King: See something cool in Little India? Hop off. Grab a teh tarik. When you're done, the next bus is just around the corner to whisk you away to Orchard Road.

The View: You cannot see the skyline from a tunnel. The FunVee™ bus offers the best panoramic views of the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade, and Merlion—perfect for that effortless holiday selfie.

One Pass, Infinite Possibilities

Why buy ten separate tickets when one digital pass does it all? Our Singapore City Passes are designed to help you save up to 30% while giving you instant access to top attractions.

Here is a breakdown of the best passes for your January 2026 trip, tailored to your travel style:
