The fastest route from Singapore Changi Airport to the downtown area is via taxi, with the 24 km journey taking approximately 30 minutes. You can also find the MRT station in the basement of Terminal 2, which will take you straight to the city centre in under an hour.

The vibrant, cosmopolitan city of Singapore is a cultural melting pot of Chinese, Indian and Malay influences, and is abundant with unique architecture and vibrant natural beauty.

Start your trip with a visit to the 101-hectare Gardens by the Bay, an urban outdoor recreation space that boasts three waterfront gardens, sky trees, cloud forests, and giant greenhouses. In the evening, you can meander through the OCBC Skyway to admire the light show on the bay, whilst overlooking the magnificent views of the Singapore Flyer ferris wheel and Marina Bay.

Singapore is also renowned for its many theme parks, including Wild Wild Wet Singapore, the Singapore Discovery Centre, and Universal Studios Singapore. We also recommend taking a ride on the towering Singapore Cable Car Sky Pass to Sentosa island, where you can enjoy a day on the beautiful Palawan Beach.

To enjoy a day of family fun, pay a visit to S.E.A Aquarium - the world's second-largest aquarium. While here, discover over 100,000 magnificent marine animals from over 800 species, spread out across 49 marine habitats. Be sure to explore the Open Ocean exhibit, featuring a 36 metre underwater viewing panel that offers glimpses of leopard sharks, mahi-mahi, and manta rays.

To experience Singapore’s intriguing cultural heritage, pay a visit to Chinatown as you will find some of the region’s most important temples, including the Sri Mariamman Temple – the oldest Hindu temple in Singapore – and the ornate Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.

Those looking to go on a day trip can escape to beautiful and tranquil Kusu Island in around one hour via ferry from Singapore's Marina South Pier. Known as Tortoise Island in Chinese, the island is steeped in local myth and folklore and provides an idyllic setting to escape from the hustle and bustle of the city. We also recommend climbing the 152 steps to the Kusu Kramats shrine, which has been a popular pilgrimage spot since the mid-19th century, with thousands of devotees making their way by boat to seek blessings. From there, traverse through nature trails, visit the beautiful Chinese temple, and unwind on the beach while marvelling at turtles swimming by.

Singapore is a food lover’s paradise, offering an abundance of gastronomic delights.
