The Ultimate 3D2N Singapore Itinerary For Your Perfect Weekend Getaway

Tengku Suzana •  Apr 27, 2016

Singapore – aka FOOD PARADISE, is named the friendliest destination for Muslim travellers among non-Muslim countries. The only challenge you'll probably have is deciding what to eat (but we've got you covered) ?

One thing we love most about Singapore is the kaleidoscope of cultures! You'll find several cultural celebrations throughout the year, from Chinese New Year to Thaipusam. It's also where HHWT first started so we can't wait for you to visit our sunny island ?

P.S. That's the Singapore skyline during the Singapore Grand Prix. If you're here in September, it's the perfect time to experience the night race too!

Travelling From Changi Airport To The City

By train: If you're taking the MRT (that's what our trains are known as), you'll be able to access the train station from Terminal 2 or Terminal 3. To get to the city, make a transfer at Tanah Merah station and take the train towards Joo Koon.

By bus: Bus stops are located at the basement bus bays of all terminals and you can take public bus service 36/36A to the city. Taking the bus would be slower as compared to the train but you're more likely to get a seat on the bus!

By carHire a private car charter for your transfers to/from Changi Airport. Definitely recommended if you've early morning/late night flights!

#HHWT tip: Do purchase an EZ-link card (you can purchase this from Changi Airport station) so that it'll be cheaper and more convenient for you when you travel about Singapore. This card can be used on both trains and buses!

Yup, ez-link cards come in different designs too!

  • If your accommodation is near a hawker centre/coffee shop, have a prata (or 2!) and a cup of teh-tarik for the perfect comfort breakfast
  • Alternatively, we highly recommend trying kaya toast (coconut jam spread on toast) with a side of soft-boiled eggs
    • Old Town White Coffee and Heavenly Wang are halal-certified
    • Note: You'll probably find many Ya Kun outlets, which are well-known for their kaya toast sets. However, this store is not halal-certified so do dine at your discretion.
