Day 1 — Land, Chinatown, Marina Bay lights
Thu · Mar 11, 2027
32°/25°C — Hot and humid with a chance of a short afternoon storm. The afternoon is mostly indoors or under cover; the evening is outdoors when it's cooler.
11:50Land at Changi
Immigration is mostly automated gates once your SG Arrival Card is in. Use the airport's baggage storage if you want to explore Jewel hands-free.
12:45Jewel — the Rain Vortex
The 40-metre indoor waterfall under the glass dome, linked to Terminals 1–3 by walkway — free to see, no boarding pass needed. Grab a first lunch in the food court here.
14:00Into the city
Pick: MRT (East-West → Downtown/Thomson-East Coast) · SGD 2–3
15:00Check in — Chinatown
Chinatown sits on two MRT lines and has hawker food on every corner, which is why it's the base. Shower and cool down — the heat is the real schedule-maker here.
16:00Buddha Tooth Relic Temple + Chinatown streets
A towering Tang-style temple with a rooftop orchid garden, free to enter (it closes around 17:00, so go first). Then wander Pagoda and Trengganu Streets for snacks and pasalubong.

Pick: Tian Tian Hainanese Chicken Rice · SGD 5–8
19:45Garden Rhapsody at the Supertree Grove
The light-and-music show in the Supertrees at Gardens by the Bay, ~15 minutes. Lie on the ground under the trees — everyone does. Second show at 20:45 if you're late.
21:00Spectra on the Marina Bay Sands waterfront
Lasers, water screens and music over the bay, ~15 minutes, from the Event Plaza in front of the MBS shoppes. Then the waterfront walk back to Bayfront MRT.
Land before noon, see the indoor waterfall without leaving the airport, drop bags in Chinatown, eat chicken rice for dinner, and end at Marina Bay for both free light shows.
Day 2 — Sentosa day
Fri · Mar 12, 2027
32°/25°C — Sun and heat on an island with little shade. Sunscreen, water, and an indoor fallback for the storm hour.

17:00Back to the hotel — shower, rest
Sentosa Express back to VivoCity (free), MRT to Chinatown.
19:30Satay Street at Lau Pa Sat
Boon Tat Street closes to traffic and fills with satay grills from 19:00. Order by the stick (chicken, mutton, prawn) and add a jug of sugarcane juice. Inside the Victorian market hall there's everything else.
Pick: Satay sets for the table · SGD 10–15
22:00Late Spectra (Fridays and Saturdays only)
Missed a show last night? There's an extra one at 22:00 on Friday and Saturday — about a 20-minute walk from Lau Pa Sat along the bay.
One island, three kinds of day: the theme park, the aquarium, or free beaches. Back to the city for satay under the stars and the late Friday light show.
Day 3 — Gardens, then three neighbourhoods
Sat · Mar 13, 2027

13:00Little India
MRT to Little India. Tekka Centre's wet market and food hall, the colourful Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple on Serangoon Road, and the candy-coloured House of Tan Teng Niah. Mustafa Centre is open 24 hours if anyone needs anything at all.
14:30Kampong Glam — Sultan Mosque + Haji Lane
A 15-minute walk south-east. The golden-domed Sultan Mosque (visiting window 14:00–16:00), then Arab Street's fabric shops and Haji Lane's murals and indie boutiques.
17:30Early dinner — murtabak opposite the mosque
Stuffed, griddled murtabak and teh tarik on North Bridge Road, a Kampong Glam institution. One murtabak feeds two.
19:00Your evening
Pick: Flower Dome + Cloud Forest after dark · SGD 46
