Singapore questions

Is 5 days enough for Singapore?

Five days covers the main districts if visits are grouped by area. Use the MRT to move between neighborhoods and book timed tickets for SkyPark and the aquarium in advance.

Do I need to book Marina Bay Sands SkyPark ahead?

Book SkyPark tickets online for a fixed entry slot. This reduces wait times and secures access during busy periods.

How do I get around Singapore using public transport?

Buy an EZ-Link card at Changi Airport for MRT and bus rides. A single trip within the city costs 1 to 2 SGD.

What is the easiest way to reach Sentosa?

Ride the MRT to HarbourFront station then take the Sentosa Express. The combined fare is about 4 SGD one way.
