Singapore questions

Is 3 days enough for Singapore?

Three days covers the main waterfront, Chinatown and Kampong Glam areas when sights are grouped by zone. Use the MRT between neighborhoods and allow extra time for food centres and temple visits.

Do I need to book Gardens by the Bay tickets ahead?

Book conservatory tickets online the day before to choose a timed entry and avoid queues. Evening light show viewing is free but arrives early for standing space.

How do I get from Marina Bay to Chinatown?

Take the MRT from Bayfront or Promenade station to Chinatown station in about 10 minutes. The walk from the station to Buddha Tooth Relic Temple takes under five minutes.

How much does Marina Bay Sands SkyPark cost?

Tickets to the SkyPark observation deck are sold online and at the tower; check the official site for the current adult price. Sunset slots are the busiest.
