Before You Go

Get a Singapore Tourist Pass or load an EZ-Link card online before arriving for seamless MRT and bus access.

Book the MacRitchie TreeTop Walk timed slot on the NParks website — it fills fast, especially on weekends.

Download the Grab app and set up payment before you land; it's Singapore's main ride-hailing service.

Check Singapore's entry requirements via ICA website — most EU passport holders get 90-day visa-free entry.

Pack a lightweight rain jacket and quick-dry clothes; Singapore rains fast and hard, especially afternoons.

Good to Know

🚌

The EZ-Link card works on all MRT, buses, and some taxis — top it up at any station or 7-Eleven.

🍽️

Hawker centres are the best food value in Singapore; budget SGD 4–8 per meal and eat where locals queue.

🍽️

Schedule hikes and outdoor walks in the morning — afternoon heat and humidity hit 33°C+ and will wreck you.

🍽️

Eating alone at hawker centres is completely normal; just join a shared table and you'll often end up chatting.

🎨

Singapore nightlife starts late — most clubs don't fill up until midnight, so a nap after dinner is a real strategy.

🍽️

Mondays are the best day to visit popular spots like Maxwell Food Centre — significantly less crowded than weekends.

🛏️

Your hotel concierge can store luggage on checkout day for free — use this on your final day rather than rushing.
