With the announcement of Pope Francis’ upcoming visit to Singapore, this year promises to be filled with significant events for our sunny island. Pope Francis’ visit will mark the second time a Catholic pope visits Singapore, with the first papal visit occurring almost 40 years ago, when the late Pope John Paul II made a brief stopover in Singapore in 1986.

With Pope Francis’ upcoming visit expecting to draw a huge crowd, we’ve put together this guide that will cover everything to ensure you’re well-prepared before his arrival, including ticket costs and where to get them.
