Getting around - Singapore

Getting around Singapore is an absolute doddle! The city’s public transport system is one of the best in the world—clean, affordable, and air-conditioned (a lifesaver in that tropical heat!). The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) trains whizz around the island, connecting you to all the top spots. Buses are also reliable and cover even more ground. Prefer your own wheels? There are taxis galore, and ride-hailing apps like Grab are super convenient. Honestly, it’s never been easier to zip around a city.


Things to do for families in Singapore

Singapore is a whopper of a destination when it comes to family fun. For starters, Sentosa Island is packed with kid-friendly activities, from Universal Studios—where you can meet characters and go on rides—to S.E.A. Aquarium, one of the largest in the world. The island also boasts beaches perfect for sandcastle-building and picnicking. Then there’s the iconic Singapore Zoo, which is one of the best in the world, offering kiddos the chance to see animals in open enclosures (none of those sad cages here!). Fancy something a bit different? Gardens by the Bay’s Children’s Garden is a lush playground where little ones can splash about in water fountains and run wild. Safe, clean, and full of excitement, Singapore knows how to make family holidays bangin'!

Things to do for couples in Singapore

Singapore is a top-tier choice for a romantic getaway that’ll leave you feeling proper boujee. Couples can start their day with a sunrise visit to Marina Bay Sands’ SkyPark, where you’ll get breathtaking views of the city. Fancy a relaxing escape? Head over to The Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where you can stroll hand-in-hand through lush greenery. For a cheeky evening out, hop on the Singapore Flyer, a massive observation wheel, perfect for taking in the city lights. Cap it all off with a candlelit dinner at one of the city's swanky rooftop restaurants, like CÉ LA VI at Marina Bay Sands. Oh, and don’t forget to take a night-time river cruise along the Singapore River—the city skyline will be all lit up, and it’s absolutely 10/10 for romance!

Things to do for groups in Singapore

If you’re rolling with the squad, Singapore’s got plenty of options to keep the good times popping off. Start with a day of thrills at Adventure Cove Waterpark on Sentosa Island, where you can race your mates down water slides or chill out on the lazy river. If your group’s more into culture, hit up Chinatown for a bit of shopping and check out the street art, temples, and bustling market stalls. Night owls can head over to Clarke Quay, Singapore’s nightlife hub, for some swanky cocktails by the river, followed by a night of dancing. For a truly unique group experience, why not book a night safari at Singapore Zoo? It’s the only place in the world where you can spot nocturnal animals in their natural habitat, which is sure to give the whole gang a proper good time!

Things to do for foodies in Singapore

Foodies, prepare yourselves for a proper mahoosive feast because Singapore’s food scene is off the charts! This city is home to some of the world’s best street food, so don’t leave without visiting a hawker centre—the go-to spot for cheap, delish eats. Places like Lau Pa Sat and Maxwell Food Centre serve up iconic Singaporean dishes like Hainanese chicken rice, chilli crab, and satay—all at wallet-friendly prices. For something a bit more swanky, indulge in a Michelin-starred meal at Burnt Ends, a modern barbecue restaurant that’s always sizzling with flavour. And let’s not forget dessert! Head over to Chinatown for a refreshing bowl of chendol—shaved ice with coconut milk, palm sugar, and jellies. Whether you’re into fine dining or casual bites, Singapore will have your taste buds dancing all day long.
