Tap and go: use a contactless bank card or an EZ-Link card on the MRT and buses for easy fares.
Use Grab: the Grab app is widely used for taxis and private cars and shows the fare upfront.
Ride the MRT from Changi: the train connects the airport with the city, cheaper than a taxi.

Follow the rules: littering, eating or drinking on the MRT and jaywalking can bring fines.
Beware electronics shop scams: some shops in Sim Lim Square have overcharged tourists; check prices and reviews.
Leave durian outside: the pungent fruit is banned on public transport and in many hotels.

Eat at hawker centres: Maxwell, Lau Pa Sat and Tiong Bahru serve delicious local food at low prices.
See free light shows: Garden Rhapsody at Gardens by the Bay and Spectra at Marina Bay are free every evening.
Drink tap water: tap water is safe to drink, so refill a bottle instead of buying drinks.

Dress for heat and humidity: it is hot and humid year-round, so wear breathable clothes.
Carry an umbrella: sudden afternoon thunderstorms are common, especially from November to January.
Bring a light layer: malls, cinemas and the MRT are heavily air-conditioned.

Respect chope culture: a tissue packet on a hawker table means the seat is reserved; find another.
Do not tip: tipping is not customary, and many restaurants already add a service charge.
Try local dishes: taste chicken rice, laksa, chilli crab and kaya toast with soft-boiled eggs.

Visit Jewel Changi: the Rain Vortex waterfall is free to see and close to the airport terminals.
Walk the Southern Ridges: this free trail links parks and offers treetop views.
Escape heat in underground walkways: many MRT stations connect to air-conditioned tunnels and malls.

Only have a day? Each one keeps you in one area, from morning to late afternoon, with lunch nearby.
