Getting Around

On Foot
Singapore’s pedestrian pathways are extensive and free, allowing you to walk seamlessly from Orchard Road to Marina Bay Sands, but be mindful of the midday sun—wear a hat and stay hydrated, especially in the sweltering heat.
Metro
Singapore's MRT covers the entire city with trains running from 5:30am to midnight, costing just S$1.00 to S$2.50 per ride depending on the distance, and you can pay with an EZ-Link card for seamless travel. To save money, consider getting a Tourist Pass for unlimited rides—it's only S$10 per day and perfect for exploring Orchard Road and Sentosa!

« I can't say I liked it – I absolutely loved it! I'm in awe! Such a fantastic country! Here, all the laws are followed, and the quality of life is truly impressive. I highly recommend visiting!

At the airport, I registered for my flight in just about 3 minutes and breezed through immigration control – all I had to do was present my passport, and the machine printed my boarding pass. That’s it, bye-bye, Singapore! Thanks for everything!

@rusanovasveta
« Well, I definitely want to highlight this amazing rooftop bar 😍😍😍. The entrance fee already includes one cocktail of your choice! I picked a Singapore Sling )) so delicious ))) The height, the breeze, the music, and the stunning views!!! Everything is just how I love it 😍😍😍. You can also enjoy the sunset and a fantastic light show! It opens at 6 PM.

We also had some authentic Chinese food there 😂😂😂. If you compare it to Indian cuisine, the Chinese food is the real deal. And don’t miss the show with the singing mushrooms 🙈🙈🙈.

Overall, there are plenty of spots where you can sit outside, high up, with loved ones or friends, where the breeze flows and you can feel a sense of freedom and happiness. You can relax or just enjoy yourself! Singapore has captured everyone’s heart!!! It’s just perfect, for me even a bit too perfect ❤️❤️❤️. »

« We found ourselves in Singapore during the Chinese New Year! Judging by the lines at the attractions (from one hour to two((( ) and the density of Chinese tourists per square meter, this place is very popular right now. Honestly, this country really knows how to celebrate! 😍🤣 »

« I love the palm trees and stylish skyscrapers in Singapore! 🤩 Here everything feels like it's straight out of a movie 📸, with some unique twists here and there. The vibe is simply incredible! 🌴🏙️ »
@splyacha_krasunya
« Singapore at night truly resembles a futuristic world. Perhaps it’s because this is my first trip back since the pandemic. It feels like everything has zoomed ahead: the technologies, the architecture, the visuals. I was amazed by the strict regulations here, including hefty fines (up to $1,000) for littering. Though I personally didn’t witness any of that, there’s definitely a sense of responsibility in the air. 😂

I even saw people diligently cleaning up the planes! 😄 Overall, the safety, service, and cleanliness are top-notch. »

« Singapore – like the center of San Francisco, but with higher prices and modern streets that are more accurate and neat. The eyes of passersby – behold. The American stylistics everywhere – from formally decorated establishments to road signs. Catholic churches, colonnades, and fire stations reminiscent of old Hollywood films.

The local vibe is kind of stable, unchanging and a bit boring. It’s all about comfort and finance. It seems like a place suited for family-oriented people with decent income, at least ten years older than me. In Singapore, there's no shortage of love and creativity. Beautiful girls on the streets. Amazing artists. Music, freedom, passion. For a single girl here, aged up to 35, getting a visa is quite complicated, so there aren’t too many beauties around.

This is the flip side of the political medal of Lee Kuan Yew’s leadership, under which the country transitioned from a third-world state to the first world in just 25 years. GDP went from $400 (1965) to $12,200 (1990) and currently, it's around $20,000 per capita. Singapore is now ranked third in the world economy, behind only Qatar and Luxembourg. Local government has triumphed over corruption, crime, drugs, and poverty. Among travelers in Southeast Asia, Singapore boasts a reputation for being a beautiful, rather expensive, and simply classy place that everyone must visit. »

« In Marina Bay, it’s a must! This is a fantastic hotel. Our room was on the top floor with a view of the garden. The famous infinity pool on the roof... we enjoyed it on our first day. In the evening, we strolled through the gardens, feeling like we were on another planet. From the window of our room, we watched a show in the gardens and the light show.

Day 2 - we explored the area from the Tea House to the observation wheel. We admired the statue of our hotel from the other side, at the business center and on other streets in the area. At sunset, we took a ride on the observation wheel. Very unusual capsule-shaped glass cabins, the night view of Singapore was especially impressive. The light show on the waterfront capped off our day.

Day 3 - we took a walk on the canal road, which runs over the garden. We spent the whole day there, going on attractions, going into the aquarium, sunbathing, shopping, and in the evening, we watched the Trogateln show. The island of Sentosa didn’t impress me much. If I had known, I would have spent another day strolling through Marina's gardens or exploring the city.

Day 4 - we spent the whole day with Nick in Studio. It is, of course, smaller than in LA, but Nick’s genuine emotions and impressions were captivating. Singapore, I will definitely return! »

« - The most ideal, unique, and magical country in the world! It's like another planet with the cleanest streets, trees, and palm trees on the rooftops of houses, stunning buildings, and amazing forms that reveal the coolest view of the mountains. For example, my favorite photo ❤️ There, the flavors are abundant, and it's just straight out of a fairy tale with cosmic trees from Avatar and delightful warm weather all the time. ❤️ I never dreamed of flying to this paradise, but it showed me that the world is way broader and cooler than we can imagine! 🚀 Therefore, I am grateful to God for this astounding opportunity. 🙏 »
@ser_bogdanov
« Breathtaking night views of Singapore, artificial soccer field on water, and more. 😎
Singapore is definitely a must-see destination. You can spend weeks exploring, as there’s always something fascinating waiting to be discovered. And the nights here are simply stunning: light shows, street performers, and the whole city sparkles – it feels like a fairytale! 😍😍😍 Singapore is a number one megacity for all travelers.
Make your trip even better, download the app for renting bikes. It’s like having your own little adventure on wheels. Gather your friends and enjoy the vibes! 🏙️🦋🍔 »

« Singapore Changi Airport! A magical place! You could easily spend a few days just wandering around! There's even a butterfly park here! But the only downside is that we don't have enough time 😊 »
@nadin_ego
« I spent a long time thinking about what photograph would best conclude my Singapore trip. I decided that it would be this one. I'll tell you about the photo later, as well as the architecture and creativity behind it. But for now, let me focus on the essence of my experience.

For the past two weeks, I truly lived in a different reality, no joke.

Singapore has inspired and amazed me. No matter where we went, the cleanliness and neatness always astonished. This place feels like the future. Surrounded by abundant greenery everywhere you look. Everything here has been thought out – from transportation and the metro to the layout of the city, architecture, and buildings. And the parks for entertainment are designed with incredible attention to detail, capturing an overall style that is coherent in even the smallest aspects.

This country has changed and shown how to live. It’s all about what we need to do in life. Creating doesn’t require anything less than excellence; it captures the spirit and evolves. Living at maximum potential. They have high standards, and I wish for us to live by such high standards too. I made a promise to myself here: I will fulfill them. »
@yourinspiration1
« Singapore is an incredible place! The most technologically advanced country in the world, everything is designed for the convenience of people, with automated systems everywhere, so much runs without human intervention (like the metro, for example), always clean drinking fountains, an excellent taxi system, and immaculate hygiene. It feels like a 5-star country where you won't find a single flaw! Inspired by this futuristic place in Asia, I started reading a book about how Singapore was built, "From Third World to First," describing this small island of 277 sq. km. that became the hub of the world without fresh water and resources.

I definitely recommend visiting this country, and by the way, you can do it without a visa - for up to 4 days!

I recently spent some time in Singapore, one of the most expensive places on the planet. They also call Singapore the city of the future, and here are a few facts from my visit:
✅ Unbelievable combination of modern architecture and greenery
✅ You can spend more in one day in Singapore than in two weeks in Malaysia
✅ You see how in this clean city, they throw cigarette butts on the ground
✅ I met a woman who has been working as a librarian at Universal for 60 years and has been working in Singapore for 6 months
✅ Cultural values are strong! Nobody litters or throws trash on the ground
✅ Free foot massage at the airport🤌
✅ Airport = museum. There’s a cinema, a botanical garden, and more! »

« Nighttime 👉 The best sight among all the night views that captured my gaze!
Marina Bay area! 💦🏙️💦
An evening light and sound show at Gardens by the Bay => the most beautiful place.
You feel like you're in the decor of Avatar 🌳
The light and sound show of fountains along the bay near the hotel => unreal beauty!
And of course, the view from the observation deck of the restaurant on the 57th floor of the hotel is stunning with its beauty, cleanliness, and order in this garden. Everything is done just to be simply beautiful! 🌳🌍🌳🌼🌍🌳
It's hard to imagine that just 200 years ago this country didn't even exist. In just 50 years, Singapore has become one of the most developed, prosperous, and beautiful countries in the world! 👏
You absolutely have to visit here! 👉 Polystyrene! There, you'll find amazing photos and videos of light shows!!! 297 places that are worth visiting at least once and you end up wanting to return again and again!
Our mission is to create such places!!!

You definitely need to visit this country-state! 😄 »
@kate.fro
« Singapore - a fantastic city-state, the city of the future! 🌆 It feels like progress is happening everywhere, with extraordinary architecture, highlighted by the iconic Marina Bay Sands that stands proud against the skyline.

It's hard to believe that just 30 years ago, Singapore was a developing country. And now, not only has it transformed, but Singapore also holds the top spot in the ranking of the most expensive cities in the world. 💸 »
@kalmykov_smn
« Exploring Singapore, I find myself increasingly impressed by the surroundings. Everything is so precise, clean, and beautiful; order is everywhere. I haven't encountered anything quite like it. Singapore sets a standard for the level of products a society should produce, the services it should offer, and how people relate to their country, their roots, their neighborhoods. Is such a reality achievable in our gigantic country? 😔 »
@abdulhacker
« Singapore... two days spent in a truly extraordinary place :) Extraordinary because Singapore resembles something yet not quite like Asia. Here, you can experience the Asian climate, unusual cleanliness for the region, and a unique architectural style. Everything is meticulously thought out with pedestrian paths and transport systems. There are few cars, and you won't see any motorcycles at all! Singapore amazed me and showcased that it's possible to create human-centered spaces, with impressive buildings constructed over the last twenty years that truly reflect the ingenuity of its architects.

The city thrives in harmony with nature, filled with greenery, and doesn't feel overwhelmed by concrete. The people in Singapore are generally not very expressive, and many are a bit reserved, which can give off a sense of a rather serious atmosphere. Still, they live by the many rules of this orderly society, allowing them to thrive in such an environment. I didn't sense any strict regulations; everything here is quite pleasant. Just be mindful not to litter where you go, navigate through crosswalks, and be polite to others.

It might take some time to adjust fully to this vibe. For me, Singapore became a beautiful and incredibly interesting transit point where one can spend time enjoying life! Without a doubt, I'll be back soon :) »
@innashirshova
« Botanic Gardens are like a miniature version of Changi, just a bit more green: you can come here for a picnic, a wedding photoshoot, with friends, or even solo.

In any case, finding peaceful spots here isn’t hard: beautiful views, flowers, and a diversity of animals and birds are stunning.

And all of this is absolutely free!

But if you want to visit the orchid garden, you still have to pay 5 SGD, which is about $3.70.

There are also many joggers here, regardless of the heat (+30). People run like in parks or up the hill.
Healthy lifestyle rules! 😊 »

« Singapore... The perfect city and the ideal country. I can't believe how strongly I want to go back. Delicious food, warm colors, towering buildings, and amazing discoveries every day. Now I know exactly where to live and be to feel safe and comfortable. A city of the future.  »
@ksemarkelova
« Ura! We made it to Singapore 🇸🇬 Finally! It was my dream to get here!!!

The journey was long, and the flights were tiring, but it was totally worth it! The vibe of this sprawling metropolis and the tropical climate is incredible, especially after our winter. The warm weather lifts my spirits to the sky 😇 I'm flying high, I feel like I'm in paradise 🏝️😂 »
@thompsonandrey
« While the entire world seems to live in 2018, Singapore feels like it’s in the year 3018! It's a truly futuristic place where you experience life as if you’re genuinely in the future. Orderliness and cleanliness? That’s Singapore. Automated metro systems without drivers? Yup, that’s Singapore. Automated passport control at the airport with biometrics? Absolutely Singapore.

And the local stores? Even the tiniest ones boast adorable pandas! You’ll find green, refreshing drinks and delightful snacks everywhere. The presence of vibrant parks and cozy little cafes? All of that and more is just part of the Singaporean experience! 🌸✨ »

« After a long journey, we finally arrived in Singapore. After going through immigration checks, the immigration stamp was received in our passports. The tropical rain and greenery welcomed us, while we thought it only rained like this back home... The streets are a steamy 30 degrees Celsius, making it feel quite humid. The amount of greenery and the bright streets really amazed us. By the way, the mandarin oranges are truly delicious... 🍊✨ »

« Today we spent the day at Sentosa - an island of fun and beach relaxation. We're really loving Singapore's chill vibes even in the most popular spots. No queues, no noise, no crowds. Just strolling around and enjoying ourselves - pure bliss. Even in the metro, it feels so free! 🌴✨ »
@anny_sidorova
« Order is definitely maintained here in Singapore! Yes, there are a lot of fines, but they're all for a reason. And yeah, there are occasional violations... like when taxi drivers use their phones, for example, or occasionally go a bit over the speed limit 😂. You can definitely hear them complaining about how tough things are. The roads are constantly congested in some areas, and there’s litter in neighborhoods far from the city center... in general, it’s enough. But! Overall, order is key, for sure! »
@tatjanansk
« It's impressive, to say the least... Our incredibly engaging guide immersed us in the history of Singapore's creation and the intricacies of life here! Such an unusual country; for instance, a regular Toyota Camry costs around 90,000 Singapore dollars now. Plus, you need to purchase a license to buy a car for about 55,000 Singapore dollars! And that's just the tip of the iceberg! »
@roman4guru
« Singapore is one of the few cities where East and West harmoniously blend: glass skyscrapers share space with ancient trees preserved during development; temples of various religions stand side by side on the same street... And it's here that you can stroll through vibrant neighborhoods like Chinatown. 🏙️🌳✨ »
@my_live_in_thailand
« Singapore is a vast metropolis filled with skyscrapers, and it's also known as one of the most expensive cities in the world. This is where all the major banks have their offices, and it's home to the largest trading port. At the same time, Singapore is incredibly green; the authorities make an effort to plant trees in every available space. 🌳🌆 »
@78bim
« A bit of interesting information: this year marks the 50th anniversary of Singapore. It's a multicultural and multinational city-state. Clean, expensive, and crime-free—I've never seen a police officer during the day. Air conditioning is everywhere, and the metro feels like a fridge! The train cars are quite compact; I felt like I was bumping my head on the ceiling. I even saw a man dressed as a Sith with a light saber directing traffic in the underground, giving me the look of a bug. We didn't encounter any animals—no stray cats or dogs around. Where are the children and elderly? It feels like the city is only for the working population. The local language is a mix of English with some odd accents—it's hard to understand at all; sometimes it takes a few tries to get the meaning. The Singapore dollar is about $0.40. Metro fares depend on the distance, and our minimum fare was $1.15 per person one way. Taxis are expensive—either we got overcharged on the meter, or that’s just how it is. Sentosa: a world of entertainment for all tastes. The aquarium was simply amazing. In summary, Singapore is incredible. To explore it fully or to the max, I’d say you need to spend at least a month here! »

« The Marina Bay waterfront in Singapore is a true gathering of the city's most stunning attractions. In addition to the luxurious Marina Bay Sands hotel, a high-rise marvel, and the futuristic Gardens By The Bay, there's so much more to discover. But let’s go through it all step by step.

The waterfront itself is beautifully maintained. Although everything is finished with tiles and wooden planks, there are clusters of vibrant evergreen trees scattered throughout. You can enjoy an amazing fountain show here, where a film is projected, telling a story about the close relationship between humans and nature. It's a spectacular sight! We haven't seen anything like it elsewhere. Dubai's "Fountain Show" can't compare to this wonder.

In the mornings and evenings, you can almost always see a crowd of athletes along the waterfront. We've noticed that Singaporeans really love to stay active. They do it absolutely everywhere – in parks and even in the city center. That's impressive! »

« There's a peculiar law in Singapore. The authorities value street cleanliness so much that they have banned chewing gum. Chewing gum is neither manufactured nor imported into the country… The only exception is in pharmacies, where people can purchase medicinal chewing gum with a doctor's prescription. »
@souskanova.a
« Singapore is a high-tech country, yet it boasts numerous green parks, a huge zoo, and the entertainment island of Sentosa. 🔆 The city itself is filled with greenery. 🌳 Living here is a true pleasure, as everything is designed for the people. 💁 It’s hard to believe that back in 1959, there was absolutely nothing here, not even water! »

« Singapore is undoubtedly a great city. It's remarkably clean for Asia, and everything feels so right, modern, and high-tech. The weather is quite pleasant (if you love warmth). Yet, I can't shake off the feeling of artificiality surrounding me. There's no soul, no history. It's the perfect city of the future. I would love to come back, but mainly for the cool attractions like those supertrees with their evening light show or the rooftop infinity pool at Marina Sands—let alone Universal Studios, which was out of our budget. But I wouldn't choose to live here. »
