It reaches most parts of the city and works a lot like the London Underground. You can use your phone or card for contactless payment to tap in and out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Buses also run regularly and take the same payment method. You can also check your bus timings with the app \u2018SG Buses\u2019 that\u2019s available for Andriod and Apple users. Note that eating on public transport is not allowed!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>For taxis, most locals use the <strong>Grab<\/strong> app \u2013 it\u2019s our version of Uber. Otherwise, you can flag down one of the blue taxis you\u2019ll see around town; they use a metre system, so prices are fair and transparent.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Payment-tips\"><strong>Payment tips<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Most shops, restaurants, and transport services in Singapore accept contactless or card payments, sometimes called <em><strong>PayWave<\/strong><\/em>. However, it\u2019s always handy to have some cash on you as a few hawker stalls and small vendors still prefer it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Main-attractions-in-Singapore\"><strong>Main attractions in Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Even if you\u2019re here mainly for work, try to set aside some time to explore. These are the places I\u2019d say every visitor should see at least once:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Gardens by the Bay<\/strong> \u2013 Featuring the Supertrees which are definitely more majestic in person.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Marina Bay Sands<\/strong> \u2013&nbsp;The SkyPark is a must-visit for breathtaking 360\u00b0 panoramic views of the city. Walk-ins are welcome at C\u00c9 LA VI restaurant for $38 nett, which includes SkyPark access and a complimentary drink.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Merlion <\/strong>\u2013 Singapore&#8217;s iconic mascot representing our founding history of being a fishing village.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Clarke Quay<\/strong> \u2013 Known for its vibrant nightlife and riverside dinings. Loads of good options for after work dinner and drinks in this area.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sentosa Island<\/strong> \u2013 Home to sandy beaches, a spectacular aquarium, and the thrilling Universal Studios theme park, Sentosa offers the perfect island escape in Singapore. <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-gallery has-nested-images columns-default is-cropped wp-block-gallery-2 is-layout-flex wp-block-gallery-is-layout-flex\">\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" data-id=\"16874\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/marina-bay-sands-singapore-local-guide-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Marina Bay Sands in Singapore\" class=\"wp-image-16874 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/marina-bay-sands-singapore-local-guide-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/marina-bay-sands-singapore-local-guide-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/marina-bay-sands-singapore-local-guide.jpg 900w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 768px;

you can walk the bridge or take the skytrain for about $4 one way.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Coney Island<\/strong> \u2013 good for a quiet cycle, the easiest way to access it by public transport is to start from Punggol Coast MRT.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fort Canning Park<\/strong> \u2013 An amazing blend of lush greenery, rich history, and hilltop views, Fort Canning Park is a tranquil sanctuary in the heart of Singapore.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>While travelling around Singapore, make sure to remember that both littering and chewing gum in public are offences. Also, it&#8217;s worth taking an umbrella with you as the rain in Singapore can be very heavy and often comes with thunder and lightning. Humidity levels are high, so wear light and breathable clothing \u2013 whenever you feel like you need a break, just step into any public transport system or shopping centre for a blast of air conditioning.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"shopping-malls\"><strong>The main shopping malls in Singapore<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>If you\u2019d like to do some shopping or simply relax in air conditioning for a bit, try one of these malls \u2013 all have a good mix of shops and restaurants:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>ION Orchard<\/strong> \u2013 Orchard MRT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>313@Somerset<\/strong> \u2013 Somerset MRT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plaza Singapura<\/strong> \u2013 Dhoby Ghaut MRT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>VivoCity<\/strong> \u2013 HarbourFront MRT<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Bugis Junction<\/strong> \u2013 Bugis MRT<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Where-to-eat\"><strong>Where to eat<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>Singapore is famous for its incredibly diverse food scene, and eating your way through the city is practically a must. If you want to experience it like a true local, start with the hawker centres, which are open-air food hubs where Singaporeans grab satisfying and affordable meals. Bring some cash, follow the queues, and try whatever catches your eye. A few great options include:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Tiong Bahru Market<\/strong><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Newton Food Centre<\/strong> \u2013 you might recognise it from <em>Crazy Rich Asians<\/em>.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Maxwell Food Centre<\/strong><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>These hawkers may seem intimidating at first, with their fast pace and endless food choices. If you\u2019re unsure where to begin and would prefer a few easy recommendations, try classics like chicken rice, wanton noodles, or char kway teow! Each one is a comforting staple that\u2019s loved by locals and a perfect introduction to Singapore\u2019s iconic flavours. Also worth knowing: if you see a packet of tissues, a lanyard, a card, or any small item on a table at a hawker centre, it means someone has \u201cchope-d\u201d (Singaporean slang \u2013 Singlish \u2013 for reserving a seat) the table and will be back. This is especially common during peak hours.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>If you&#8217;re craving something beyond hawker fare, the city is packed with fantastic restaurants offering flavours from all over the world. Here are a few of my personal picks:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Swee Choon<\/strong> \u2013 a classic dim sum spot<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Super Star K<\/strong> \u2013 known for flavourful Korean BBQ<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Fuego Mesa<\/strong> \u2013 offering delicious Mexican dishes<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p>Honestly, no matter where you wander, you\u2019re bound to find something tasty \u2013 Singapore rarely disappoints when it comes to food!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"900\" height=\"675\" data-src=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hawker-stalls-singapore-local-guide.jpg\" alt=\"Hawker stalls in Singapore\" class=\"wp-image-16876 lazyload\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hawker-stalls-singapore-local-guide.jpg 900w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hawker-stalls-singapore-local-guide-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.staysitu.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/12\/hawker-stalls-singapore-local-guide-768x576.jpg 768w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 900px) 100vw, 900px\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB3aWR0aD0iMSIgaGVpZ2h0PSIxIiB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciPjwvc3ZnPg==\" style=\"--smush-placeholder-width: 900px; --smush-placeholder-aspect-ratio: 900\/675;\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<div style=\"height:10px\" aria-hidden=\"true\" class=\"wp-block-spacer\"><\/div>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\" id=\"Neighbourhoods\"><strong>Neighbourhoods with a bit of character<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p>A few areas worth wandering through when you have a spare hour:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Haji Lane<\/strong> \u2013 Alight at Bugis train station and it\u2019s a 10-minute walk to this lane.
