Singapore is well connected to major cities around the world through Changi Airport (SIN), one of the busiest and most awarded airports globally. Changi Airport serves as a major international hub with direct flights to over 120 countries.
The airport is conveniently located about 20 minutes from the city centre and offers a wide range of transport options, including taxis, airport shuttles, private hire cars, and the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) system.

Ground Transportation
Mass Rapid Transit (MRT)
The MRT is one of the most efficient ways to get around. It’s air-conditioned, affordable, and covers most of the city’s key attractions. Trains are frequent, clean, and air-conditioned, with most stations located within walking distance of hotels, shopping malls, and landmarks.

Public Buses
Singapore’s bus network covers nearly every part of the island and complements the MRT system. Bus stops are clearly marked, and digital displays indicate arrival times.

Taxis and Private Hire Cars
Taxis can be flagged along the streets or at designated taxi stands. Ride hailing applications also allow you to book a ride easily – CDG Zig, Grab, Gojek, Ryde and TADA.
Walking and Cycling
Singapore’s downtown areas are pedestrian-friendly, with sheltered walkways, clear signage, and numerous pedestrian crossings. Cycling paths are expanding rapidly, and bike-sharing services such as Anywheel and HelloRide are available across the city.
