City Guide Singapore

Singapore, the Garden City

Singapore is probably well known for its abundance of shopping malls, a famous stopover for travelers as well, however only a few really notice that despite its dense population, its government managed to keep the city green. Trees, bushes, gardens and parks are ubiquitous, very nice to take a stroll (and get some tan), not to mention the convenience of frequent MRT and buses, you really don't need a car here!

Insider Tip:The tourist pass travel card (which at the time of this writing costs $8 per day) for unlimited journeys on MRT and buses isn't really worth it unless you really travel a lot, well while in Singapore I always went out at noon, wandering around the country using MRT and buses through many bus stops and station interchanges and only came back at midnight and I could never reach $8 per day.

Relaxing Singapore

What an amazing place for an extended weekend getaway! Singapore is small, so as for sightseeing you can do it in 3-4 days. Food is quite pricey, but the quality is good. Fantastic nightlife - great DJ's and a variety of clubs to choose from. Despite being in Asia, you don't really feel it. You won't see stinking trash on streets or astonishing poverty like in Vietnam or India. It's so easy to get around - even a baby can figure out the metro system. Locals are truly friendly and helpful.

Insider Tip:Life is easy! Just explore and enjoy!

Singapore - the best place to live

Singapore is in my opinion the best place to live. High salaries, great weather, nice people, delicious food. Simply number one in the world.

Singapore... May not be as good as what others say

When my plane reached the airport, no one operate the "bridge" for our plane... When I entered the arrival hall, nearly all the toilets were in the cleaning time! When I went to shopping mall like Vivo City to find the Sentosa Express, not enough singal board showing the location...

Insider Tip:If you want to use free wi-fi in the Singapore, you can only get this service by buying a prepaid SIM card from that 3 telecommunication services providers or get a temporary account at the airport's information center.

Very strict

Very strict with customs... my passport expires in 5 months and 30 days, so was 1 day too short to enter the country. Instead I had to sit in the airport all day. Free wireless though...
