Singapore ranks among the best cities in the world for senior travellers

Don’t let age stop you from living your best life, and that definitely includes seeing the world. Where, you may ask? Well, here's a solid contender: Singapore. According to a new study by AllClear Travel Insurance, our city ranks 27th globally for senior-friendly travel, with culture, comfort, and accessibility happily coexisting.

The research looked at 175 destinations worldwide, weighing eight indicators: mobility, safety, healthcare access, cultural accessibility, environmental comfort and accommodation suitability. 

In Singapore, around 27% of hotels are accessible, which means getting around won’t feel like an obstacle course. Culture lovers are well served too: 173 museums and 31 theatres give you plenty of reasons to leave the hotel slippers behind. Art spaces dedicated to seniors are even popping up in the Lion City.
