Suggested 3-day Singapore itinerary

When you arrive to Singapore, pick up a map at a tourist information booth and find out if there are discounts offered for some restaurants and places of interest. Check the offers in Singapore at http://www.visitsingapore.com/publish/stbportal/en/home/getting_here/offers_in_singapore.html. If you have 3 or more companions and have many luggages, you go to the transportation desk where you can hire a taxi van called Maxicab or MPV by SMRT (costs higher than regular taxi). If two or three of you are travelling, you may want to take a regular taxi which costs about S$15-S$20 to the city. Or, you may want to take the train. The train and the bus are the cheapest and most efficient mode of transportation in Singapore. Directions to the train or bus are easy to follow. Or, you may want to buy Singapore Tourist Pass to buy a day (2 or 3 days) bus/train pass, visit The Singapore Tourist Pass to get more info.

Tip: check all your destinations via www.streetdirectory.com. You may call taxi anytime from anywhere. Phone numbers are 6555-8888 or 6552-2222 or 6552-1111

Day 1 - Sentosa Island Resort, www.sentosa.com.sg, you may check the website for events, promotions/discounts and schedules. To get to Sentosa take a train (MRT) East West (green) line going to Harbourfront. You may purchase a card through machine or ticket counter and each of you can refund S$1 at the ticket machine before you go out of the station. When you leave Harbourfront station, there's a free bus going to Sentosa Island where you will get off at the Sentosa visitors arrival center. There's a S$2 entry fee per person but I think it's waive when you avail a promotional package which I will mention below. Shuttle bus is free from the visitors centre that will go around the island and to various attractions. An alternative and better route is through a train called Sentosa Express from Vivo City (www.vivocity.com.sg) at Harbourfront. You pay S$3 for a return ticket valid for the whole day. Please check the Sentosa website for updated ticket prices or ongoing promotions.
