Iluvcruising2 Posted February 14, 2015 #1 Share Posted February 14, 2015 Hello visitors to Singapore! This is the website for the MRT system - http://www.smrt.com.sg/ There are maps here - http://www.smrt.com.sg/Trains/NetworkMap.aspx You should be able to download and print them out. The map looks like this. 2014 version, downloaded Feb 2015. Take note that you should get the latest maps, as more train lines are being built and will be opened in the next few years. Our train network is getting more complicated, which is good! More ways to get around. Marina Bay Cruise Center The nearest MRT station is Marina South Pier, southern most station on the North-South Line. [YOUTUBE]-a5WI-KinVQ[/YOUTUBE] Singapore Cruise Terminal @ Harbourfront The MRT station is called Harbourfront. This is also a terminus station, at the south-west of the map. Singapore Changi Airport Eastern-most station. Note, you have to change trains at Tanah Merah MRT in order to get on the line that takes you to Changi Airport. If you can't find the link to download the map on the SMRT website, drop me an email and I'll send the file to you. Cheers and have a great day!

Iluvcruising2 Posted February 15, 2015 Author #4 Share Posted February 15, 2015 The Singapore Tourist Pass (which is a special EZ Link card for use on MRT and buses) was specially designed for tourists. The 1,2 or 3 Day passes give you unlimited rides on the MRT and bus network. The passes are available at the following transit-link stations: http://www.thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/get-singapore-tourist-pass/ You can find out more information on the card here. http://www.thesingaporetouristpass.com.sg/ Enjoy Singapore!

It all sounds so exciting with the Chinese New Year happening while we are there ,what would you recommend as the best place ,to observe it all .

No, I'm not a travel guide, but maybe I will become one next time. Your question is a bit tricky. You arrive on the first day of Chinese New Year (19 Feb, Thursday). Most festivities and activities culminate on 18th Feb, with street parties past midnight of 18 Feb. Once we hit 19 Feb, it is a day whereby the Chinese people will go visiting, i.e. visit relatives (usually seniors) to wish them a happy new year. So there would be fewer public activities. However, River Hongbao should still be on - http://www.riverhongbao.sg/ This is our iconic event to celebrate CNY and you shouldn't miss it. The website contains all the info you need to get there. I believe all the major tourist attractions would still be opened. Also, since you are here over Chinese New Year, you have the opportunity of visiting the Istana Open House - http://www.istana.gov.sg/the-istana/open-house The Istana will be opened on the 2nd day of Chinese New Year, there will be special performances. http://www.straitstimes.com/news/singapore/more-singapore-stories/story/istana-open-house-second-day-chinese-new-year-20150216 I noticed the National Museum is also open and on the 2nd day of the Chinese New year, they have some activities. There are also some activities at Sentosa Island on the 2nd day of CNY - http://www.sentosa.com.sg/en/SentosaCelebratesLNY/ I will look around to see what else that might be open.
