Hello and welcome to Singapore! Scroll the list below or tap on the interactive Map
From the airport to the city, take the train from Changi Airport MRT Station (CG2) to Tanah Merah MRT Station (EW4), then transfer to the East West Line towards Tuas Link MRT Station (EW33).
Alternatively take a taxi or Grap app (itโs like Uber). I would suggest you Grab because itโs really convenient. Also before going out of the airport donโt forget to stop by the famous waterfall (rain vortex)

Where to eat and drink-What to eat
Here is a video I took about the food you should try in Singapore :) (read the caption of the video or below)
๐Laksa (spicy noodle soup cooked with coconut milk)
๐Hainanese Chicken rice(a simple but delicious combination of boiled chicken, paired with flavorful rice and sauce)
๐งKaya Toast (this is the local breakfast which consists of soft boiled eggs, choice of coffee or tea, and bread with coconut jam and butter. If you want to eat it like the locals you have to dip the toast into the soft boiled eggs with a splash of soy sauce)
๐ขSatay (seasoned skewered meats
๐ฆ Chilli crab (be prepared to get your hands dirty with one of the most famous things to eat in the city
๐คHokkien mee (noodles topped with prawns, fishcake, bean sprouts and nuggets of pork lard.)
๐ฅCurry puffs (crispy deef fried pastry stuffed with curried potatoes and minced meat)
Breakfast
If youโd like to try the local breakfast which consist in Kaya toast (a toast with coconut jam and butter) and soft boiled eggs you can go to Toast box. The first location is close to the budget option hotel in this guide, the second one in Marina Bay. You can also eat other things like Laksa
Cheap Eats/Mid range
Fine Dining (don't forget to book a table)
Rooftop bars with scenic views (you can go to eat or just to have a drink)
Don't forget to book a table on their websites (yes even to drink only you will need a reservation or it's likely that you won't find a table)
Getting around Singapore
The best and fastest way is to use Grab app (it's like Uber) but the cheapest way would be the MRT which is also very convenient. Your credit card is valid as a single ticket entry so you donโt need to purchase tickets (you use it to enter)
Here is the map
Before you go
Visa
You do not need a visa if you are going for business or tourism for 90 days or less.
Anyway you can check if you need a Visa at this link:
Currency
Singapore: Singapore Dollar with the code SGD
Sim Card
If you want to have always accessibility to internet to book Grab app and to check this guide with Thatch and get directions on Google Maps don't forget to get a local Sim Card once arrived at the airport but if you're only staying for a few days also know that wifi is easy to find almost everywhere!
Weather
Singapore is hot and humid all year round, so you can visit whenever you want. But still, ย it's a good idea to always carry a small, portable umbrella for those sudden tropical downpours, especially during the monsoon season (November to January).
Language
You will be able to speak english, most of Singaporeans are fluent in it. They also speak Mandarin Chinese and Malay
Power Plug
The standard electrical current used in Singapore is 220-240 volts AC (power plugs with three square prongs) - don't forget to bring a univesal plug adapterย
Useful numbers
Police: 999
Ambulance: 995
