This is the perfect area to start your visit to Singapore and where you can get some iconic Singapor


Part time traveller and planner extraordinaire, I love everything rental cars by san antonio airport about travel and this wonderful world we live in. Join me for reliable travel tips and inspiration to inform and inspire you to get out there and see the world.
When I mentioned I was choosing to visit Singapore to a few people, they questioned why I wanted to visit what they believed to be a dull city that lacks any real culture and grit. While this may have been true 10 plus years ago, the Singapore I encountered on my two visits is a vibrant city with a mesh of cultures from nearby lands and afar which all combine to give visitors to Singapore a very unique experience in Asia.
Singapore a fast moving city that is changing and growing everyday and is one of the world s major commercial hubs. It is in the top five biggest financial centres as well as top five busiest ports in the world, with its economy relying rental cars by san antonio airport heavily on trade. It also ranks as one of the best countries in terms of education, healthcare, government transparency and economic rental cars by san antonio airport competitiveness and its residents rental cars by san antonio airport are among the happiest in the world.
While, as a whole, it isn t cheap like other parts of Asia are famous for, it doesn t have to break your bank with plenty of free or cheap things to see and do, places to stay and areas to find decent cheap meals.
In contrast, if your travelling and looking for that little bit of luxury after a trip full of backpacker hostels and street food then you will find exactly what your looking for in world class hotels and restaurants that will probably break your bank but are worth every cent.
There is so much to see and do, from incredible feats of architecture to some of the worlds top shopping experiences to getting up close with wildlife. No matter what your interested in, you will find something you like in Singapore. And it is a place you can visit time and time again with new attractions popping up all the time.
Air : Changi Airport has been repeatedly named one of the best airport in world and I have to agree. While most other airports around the world are in a constant state of chaos, Changi always appears serene and calm. As one of Asia s major hubs you will find arrivals/departures from all over the world. Just about every major airline that travels across the world has a route that stops in Singapore. The airport is located 20 km east of the city centre and can be reached by shuttle for around $SGD9.00, taxi for around $SGD25.00 or the MRT to various stations throughout the city for just a few dollars. Within the airport there is every facility rental cars by san antonio airport you could possibly need and more.
Bus : If you are travelling to/from rental cars by san antonio airport Singapore to/from Malaysia or even Thailand it is possible to take a bus. There is over a dozen different bus companies offering a few different routes and I found it difficult finding information on how you can make this option possible. The most comprehensive website rental cars by san antonio airport I can find for timetables and bookings is Bus Ticket Online which covers a number of bus companies.
On our first visit we used the City Sightseeing Hop on Hop off bus for a day to cover most of the major sights. We purchased the 48 hour Singapore Sightseeing Pass for $SGD33.00 which includes all three bus routes, a river cruise and a transfer to Sentosa Island. There is a cheaper pass for $SGD27.00 which is for the bus tour only. While I do love these bus tours because they are flexible, have the open top and make stops at most of the major sights, rental cars by san antonio airport they can be expensive.
Singapore has a great public transport system called SMRT (Singapore rental cars by san antonio airport Mass Rapid Transport). The train will get you to just about everywhere rental cars by san antonio airport you want to go and is fast, efficient, air conditioned and cost effective. The service consists of four colour coded MRT lines, three LRT lines and public buses. Fares start from just $SGD1.00. It is one of the simplest metro systems in the world.
If you find yourself in need of a taxi during your stay you will find them to be clean, the drivers to be friendly and the cost to be reasonable considering to price of everything else in the city. Be cautious of hopping in a taxi at a taxi stand at some of the major sights like Gardens by the Bay as there is an additional surcharge rental cars by san antonio airport of up to $SGD5.00 added to the fare. It is ok for you to flag down a taxi on the street rather than use the taxi stands.
This is the perfect area to start your visit to Singapore and where you can get some iconic rental cars by san antonio airport Singapore skyline photos. The area on the bay has been constantly changing for the past ten years with new buildings, museums and attractions being completed every few months.
Start with a bird’s eye view of the city from either the Singapore Flyer or from the top of Marina Bay Sands at the Sands SkyPark. The Marina Bay Sands building has become the most recognisable structures in Singapore over the past few years and is a spectacular sight for both looking at and looking from the top in the world’s highest rooftop pool. For an expensive night of glitz and glamour, head inside to visit the city’s biggest casino or do a spot of shopping at the luxury boutiques.

Finally, what I think is one of the most remarkable sights in Singapore, rental cars by san antonio airport visit the Gardens by the Bay.

It’s an interesting museum with photographs, interviews and exhibits outlining the lives of Singapore’s earliest rental cars by san antonio airport Chinese rental cars by san antonio airport migrants.
From the fragrant streets lined with curry restaurants and spice stores to the music blaring from the windows and chatter of locals to the colourful sari shops, rental cars by san antonio airport traditional Indian trade stores, mulit-coloured buildings and cultural rental cars by san antonio airport attractions of Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple and Abdul Gaffoor Mosque.
