ATMs in Singapore
Best ATMs: DBS, OCBC, UOB — all widely available in malls and MRT stations. Avoid standalone Cardtronics/MaxCash ATMs in tourist areas.
Typical surcharge: S$5 per foreign card withdrawal at DBS/OCBC/UOB; standalone mall ATMs may charge S$7-10
Withdrawal tip: Singapore is highly cashless — PayWave/PayNow dominant. Withdraw S$100-200 for hawker centres and small vendors; card accepted almost everywhere else.
Top cities in Singapore
Singapore City (Marina Bay)
The iconic heart of Singapore — Marina Bay combines world-class architecture, free outdoor attractions, and the best hawker food on earth. Gardens by the Bay's Supertrees are free to walk around after dark when the light show runs. Marina Bay Sands SkyPark offers the most dramatic city panorama in Southeast Asia.
Sentosa Island
Singapore's resort island just 15 minutes from the CBD. Universal Studios Singapore is the main draw — arrive by 10am to beat queues. Adventure Cove Waterpark is excellent for families. The cable car from HarbourFront offers the best aerial view of Singapore's southern harbour.
Chinatown & Little India
Singapore's most atmospheric heritage districts. Chinatown's Sri Mariamman Temple and Buddha Tooth Relic Temple bookend a street food precinct with Singapore's cheapest and most authentic hawker stalls. Little India's Mustafa Centre — a 24/7 shopping mall — is a beloved institution for everything from electronics to saris.
Orchard Road
Singapore's prime shopping belt — ION Orchard, Takashimaya, Paragon, and Ngee Ann City line a 2.2km stretch that rivals Tokyo's Ginza and Dubai's Mall of the Emirates. International luxury flagships, Singapore-exclusive limited editions, and the country's best department stores are all here.
East Coast Park
A 15km stretch of beachfront park beloved by locals for cycling, seafood, and a more relaxed Singapore atmosphere. The East Coast Lagoon Food Village is one of Singapore's best-kept hawker secrets. Cycling rentals are S$5–8/hour and the flat coastal path is excellent for families.
Singapore as a travel hub: connecting to Southeast Asia
Singapore's position makes it an ideal base for Southeast Asian travel. Changi Airport connects to Bali (2.5h), Bangkok (2h20), Kuala Lumpur (1h), Ho Chi Minh City (2h), Phuket (1h40), Hanoi (3h) — all under 3 hours. Spain travellers using Singapore as a hub can combine the city-state with Bali, Thailand, or Malaysia in a single trip. LCC budget carriers (Scoot, AirAsia, Jetstar Asia) make intra-regional fares very affordable. A 10-14 day Southeast Asia trip based from Singapore is a natural extension.
On-arrival tips
- 1Changi Airport is consistently rated the world's best — the Jewel (indoor waterfall) is worth exploring on arrival
- 2MRT from Changi Airport to downtown: SGD $2.50 — 30 minutes. Much cheaper than taxis
