welcome to singapore! happy

well to start with singapore is really a very small country. you can get to the other end of the island and back at the airport within two hours. there is the MRT (subway/metro) at the airport which you can take to get to town. it'll take you about 45min to reach orchard road, the shopping belt of singapore.

if you are more adventurous, you can take the train (transfer to another line) to get to little india or chinatown. there you will get to experience something different from the usual city life.

hi s2daj_genx, i have attached a link of the MRT map. just click on the link and you'll see the map for the train system that covers most of singapore.

you will be boarding the train at Changi Airport station, which is at the lower right corner of the map. if you want to go to orchard road, just continue on the journey to either Dhoby Ghaut, Somerset or Orchard station. You'll need to follow the announcements on the train as you need to switch between the lines.

for little india or chinatown, just switch to the North East Line (purple) at Dhoby Ghaut.

i hope you'll enjoy your brief time in singapore. cheers cool

two to three hours is not a lot of time to spend, so i would say that if you are here for shopping, head on down to the the cluster of shopping centres around suntec city convention centre. it is a short taxi ride from the airport, and you will find lots to shop, eat, and see at the three shopping centres located at the area. it is alos quite near the esplanade, and you could head there for some alfresco dining and outdoor arts and music events.

2 - 3 hours? i don't think there is really enough time for you to fully enjoy yourself.

from airport. if you take a train, you'd have to transfer at Tanah Merah Mrt (8min journey).

From tanah Merah mrt sit all the way to city hall mrt (the interchange). You can alight here to shop. OR you can change train to the red line and sit to orchard road mrt.

Here is the link for the train map.

And this is the time taken from each station. You'd be able to roughly gauge and plan your timing.
