GETTING AROUND
Moving Around Singapore
Singapore's compact size and transport network make it easy to combine several neighbourhoods in one trip.
MRT
A convenient option for reaching many of Singapore's major sightseeing areas.
Bus
Useful for journeys where the MRT does not take you directly to your destination.
Taxi & Ride-Hailing
Handy with luggage, late in the evening or whenever you want a direct journey.
Walk
Many individual neighbourhoods are excellent to explore on foot once you arrive.
TRAVELARIES ROUTE EDIT
Skip · Swap · Add
Simple ways to make your Singapore itinerary feel more enjoyable and less rushed.
SKIP
Trying to see everything
Singapore is compact, but that doesn't mean every attraction needs to fit into one trip. Leave enough time to actually explore each neighbourhood.
SWAP
Shopping for neighbourhood time
If shopping isn't a priority, swap some mall time for colourful streets, cafés and neighbourhood atmosphere around Kampong Gelam or Little India.
ADD
Marina Bay after dark
Even if you've explored Marina Bay during the day, add an evening walk to experience Singapore's skyline after sunset.
TRAVELARIES INSIDER NOTES
Small Choices. Better Singapore Trips.
A few practical details can make exploring Singapore easier once you arrive.
Expect Tropical Weather
Singapore stays warm and humid throughout the year, and rain can occur in any month.
Use Public Transport
For most city sightseeing, Singapore's transport system makes getting around straightforward.
Carry an Umbrella
A compact umbrella is useful for sudden tropical showers as well as strong sunshine.
Leave Room for Food
Don't pack the schedule so tightly that you miss Singapore's hawker and neighbourhood food culture.
