Before You Go

Get a Singtel or StarHub tourist SIM at Changi on arrival — data is cheap and essential for navigation.

Download the Grab app before flying; it's cheaper than taxis and avoids metered fare disputes.

Book the MacRitchie Treetop Walk slot online in advance — entry capacity is limited on weekends.

Load a travel card or check your bank's foreign transaction fees; contactless works almost everywhere in Singapore.

Download GrabFood and Foodpanda for delivery on rest nights so you aren't stuck eating hotel food.

Good to Know

🍽️

Eat at hawker centres for lunch — you'll spend SGD 5–8, eat better than most restaurants, and sit next to locals.

🚇

The MRT EZ-Link card covers every train and most buses; top up at any station and skip the ticket queue.

🍽️

Singapore heat peaks between 1–4 PM — schedule rest, coffee, or indoor activities during that window every day.

🛡️

Rooftop bars and hawker centres are the two best solo-friendly social environments in the city; lean into both.

🍽️

Order one dish at a hawker centre, eat it, then queue at a different stall — that's how locals eat variety solo.

💡

Grab is usually 30–40% cheaper than flagging a taxi; always check it before standing on a kerb.

🍽️

Wear lightweight moisture-wicking clothes and carry a small towel — you will sweat through anything in 20 minutes of walking.
