#HHWT Tip: Save SGD100 on activities, attractions and WiFi in Singapore when you purchase on Klook with promo code <YES100>!

Getting from Changi Airport to the city

1. By train (MRT)

Changi Airport MRT Station (local trains are known as MRT) is directly accessible from Terminals 2 & 3.

  • From Terminal 1: Take the Airport's Skytrain to Terminal 2, then head to the basement to find the MRT station.
  • From Terminal 4: take the free shuttle bus from T4 Arrival Hall door 1 to T2, then head to the basement to find the MRT station.

#HHWT Tip: You can find a convenient list of every hotel in Singapore AND the closest MRT stations to them at Changi Airport MRT Station. Ask the friendly MRT staff when in doubt!

Take the MRT to Tanah Merah Station, then transfer onto a train heading towards Joo Koon. Alight at the closest MRT station to your hotel! It'll take approximately 40-45 mins.

If public transport is your main mode of transportation for the duration of your stay in Singapore, we recommend getting the Singapore Tourist Pass. It gives you unlimited rides on MRTs, LRTs and buses across Singapore so you can breeze from one attraction to the next hassle-free! 1-day passes cost SGD10, 2-day passes for SGD16 and 3-day passes for SGD20. Available at selected TransitLink Ticket Offices.

2. By bus

Head to the basement bus bays located at Terminals 1, 2 and 3 (for Terminal 4, the bus stop is located next to the Carpark 4B) and take bus 36 or 36A for a ride into the city.

This is the slowest way to get to the airport, though the bus stops at several central downtown areas, including Suntec City Mall, The Esplanade, Somerset and Orchard Road. Depending on traffic, it can take anywhere from 1-2 hours.

3. By taxi

Taxis are always available in abundant supply at Changi Airport regardless of the time of day. All taxis in Singapore are metered, so you won't have to worry about bargaining for your fare! A taxi ride into the city will take about 20-30 mins and costs about SGD24-SGD29.

Staying connected

We know: how could anyone survive without WiFi access while travelling?! To keep yourself connected to the people and events back home, it's important to get an affordable pocket WiFi device or, better still, a local 4G sim card!

1. 4G WiFi

For all your Instagram, Facebook and WhatsApp needs while travelling, Klook's 4G Portable WiFi device will work perfectly, offering unlimited internet service to up to 8 devices at once. Pick it up and drop it off at Changi Airport for your own convenience ?

#HHWT Tip: Get $5 off your very first Klook purchase when you use our code <TRAVELHHWT>!

2. Sim Card

If you're a solo traveller who doesn't need to share a pocket WiFi device with anyone, you can alternatively get Klook's 4G sim card that'll give you 100GB of free local data, 20mins of international calls and 500 mins of local calls!

Day 1

  • Zam Zam Restaurant

First things first: you can't visit Singapore without trying the island's most beloved murtabak!* Head over to Zam Zam Restaurant on North Bridge Road (a 10-min walk from Bugis MRT station) to sink your teeth into some of the most mouthwatering murtabak you'll ever come across (seriously, we're not kidding.)

*Murtabak: fried dough stuffed with chicken, mutton or beef with onions and egg, served with a bowl of rich Indian curry.

We can never decide between their mutton murtabak and their chicken murtabak: it's such a close fight! Zam Zam's mutton murtabak is served with a crispy base layer of plain prata and a top layer of egg with minced mutton, while their chicken murtabak is served with juicy masala chicken chunks stuffed inside a thick egg prata.

You'll want to have BOTH of them while you're here, trust us. But in case that's not enough for you, the rest of Zam Zam's menu is just as irresistible: from Mee Goreng to briyani and more ?

  • Sultan Mosque

Once you've filled your tummies with that local Indian feast, pay a visit to one of Singapore's most beloved historic (and photogenic) mosques--the Sultan Mosque, just across the road from Zam Zam!

Built in 1824, the Sultan Mosque was one of the first mosques in Singapore, and its architecture is a true reflection of Singapore's multicultural identity, being a mix of classic, Persian, Moorish and Turkish architecture ?

  • Haji Lane Shopping

Situated just 2 minutes away from the Sultan Mosque, Haji Lane is a veritable hipster shopping paradise. It's packed with nifty little shops whose beautifully decorated window displays irresistibly entice passers-by to enter!

But even if shopping bores you half to death, Haji Lane itself is drenched in bright colours, street art and vibrant graffiti, which makes for an unmissable (profile pic-worthy) photo opportunity!

If you've got kids in tow, you'll definitely want to pop by the Science Centre for a thrilling time! It's the perfect time of the year to visit since there's a new “Circus! Science Under The Big Top” exhibit (from 28 Oct 2017 – 18 Mar 2018) where you can combine the unique novelty of circus fun and the educational value of a scientific exhibit.

  • Cable Car

Kickstart your Sentosa adventures the best way you possibly could: opt to take the cable car into Sentosa instead of taking the conventional (and boring) option of taking the monorail into Sentosa!

From the main island of Singapore, make your way to either one of Singapore's most scenic peaks, Mount Faber, or Harbourfront, and hop onto the Singapore Cable Car.

  • Gardens By The Bay

First stop: pay a visit to the world-famous Gardens By The Bay and take a walk amidst flourishing flora and fauna in every hue imaginable!

As the largest glass greenhouse in the world (according to the 2015 Guinness World Book of Records), the sheer variety and brilliance of the flower displays here will surely blow you away.

#HHWT Tip: The flower displays at the Flower Dome change according to the time of the year to mimic seasonal changes, so do check which seasonal exhibition is taking place before you visit! Past exhibitions have included Tulipmania (to mimic Dutch tulip season) and Blossom Bliss (to mimic Japan's cherry blossom season) ?

If the dry Mediterranean climate of the Flower Dome is getting to you, though, head to the Cloud Forest conservatory right next door to soak in its cool, moist tropical climate amidst towering structures brimming with greenery.

The Cloud Forest is best viewed at sunset, when the sight of the rays of sunlight filter through the waterfalls and gardens for a truly spectacular scene.
