    Thanks for the great tips! Another tip: Contactless payment (tap to pay) is frequently called "pay wave". It's widely supported everywhere.

    Fabulous top 10 list for visitors to Singapore. Can I suggest one small tweak though. All visitors must do the Botanic Gardens. Start at Botanic Gardens MRT and then walk down the hill to the new Napier MRT. Free, and the perfect start to every Singapore day.

      Agreed. Get there before it gets hot. Beautiful place.

    Great video! I am in Sinapore now on a visit, and your tips are spot on. One thing that I've found surprising here: Singapore is a lot bigger than I thought it would be! Also, I've found that Grab (the Uber of Singapore) and taxis are very inexpensive compared to what I am used to in the DC Metro area!

    This was really helpful. I would have definitely forgotten about foreign transaction fees for public transportation if using a card.
    Would love to hear about the itineraries you developed for different neighborhoods! That's not something I've seen on YT before.

    If my card has forex fees, what alternative payment do you recommend? :) i saw that they have the tourist pass but it has mixed reviews online

    • @happy_hapa
      @happy_hapa  Před 3 dny

      Good question! You can purchase an EZlink card at the MRT station for S$10 with S$5 towards trips and S$5 non-refundable fee for the card. In the longer term, if you are a frequent traveler I'd recommend getting a card without forex fees, like Revolut.

    Are masks still required on public transport in August?

    • @happy_hapa

      No longer required though you will still see people wearing them!
