Planning your trip
How many days do you need in Singapore?
Most first-time visitors spend two to three days on the headline sights — Marina Bay, Sentosa and one or two heritage neighbourhoods. These itineraries range from a half day to three days so you can match a plan to the time you have.
What's the best way to get around between attractions?
The MRT reaches almost every spot in these plans and is the fastest, cheapest option. Each stop links to its attraction page, which shows the real pedestrian walk time from the nearest station.
