Need advice to Singapore!
 
We are going to Singapore soon. I need some advice from you. May I use taxi or train from airport to hotel in city? because it is first time for me with this country. Many thanks

They have buses direct from the airport into the main shopping/hotels area, and I would check with your hotel for they will be able to advise in detail for a bus number or taking the MRT or if they are not close to a stop for either, if there is a mini bus shuttle service, all cheaper than a taxi, but for two or more perhaps not too much more expensive.

You can take either depending on your budget. Obviously it would be more convenient to take the taxi. Would take around half an hour and you won't have to struggle with your baggage.

I've been there a lot, take a taxi. Taxis are plentiful and inexpensive. Happy Travels!

I would definitely also recommend just taking a taxi direct from the airport(which has just been remodeled-and it even better than ever!) to your hotel-it is quick, easy, safe, air conditioned and so cheap. They will load and unload your suitcases for you-a big plus if you are tired. They speak enough English to take you to your hotel, for sure. Just make sure you go to the actual taxi line after you collect your bags.

Singapore is great! Have fun.
