Fly from Delhi to Singapore Changi Airport; allow roughly 9–12 hours door to door for the journey, including getting to the airport, check-in, the flight, immigration and your onward transfer. Follow the timing on your booked ticket rather than planning around an assumed departure. Singapore is 2½ hours ahead of Delhi, so check the local arrival time when arranging a pickup. From Changi, a taxi to the city usually takes about 20–30 minutes, depending on traffic; the MRT is a cheaper option if you have the energy and your accommodation is convenient to a station. Leave bags at your hotel before heading out.
If you arrive with enough daylight, take an easy 30–45-minute stroll around Merlion Park on Marina Bay. It’s a good first look at the skyline, and the waterfront is especially pleasant as the lights come on; there’s no admission charge. From there, a taxi or a walk of about 20–25 minutes gets you to Lau Pa Sat in the Downtown Core. Allow about an hour to try a couple of hawker dishes—budget roughly S$8–20 per person, and remember that individual stall hours vary even when the food centre is open. If the flight or immigration runs late, keep this stop flexible and choose from the stalls still serving.
Finish with a relaxed 45-minute riverside walk at Clarke Quay, about a 15–20-minute walk from Lau Pa Sat or a short taxi ride. The restaurants and bars make it lively after dark, but you don’t need to book anything just to stroll along the river. If you’re tired, keep the walk brief and take a taxi back to your hotel.
Start around 9am at Gardens by the Bay and give yourself 2–3 hours for the outdoor gardens and Supertree Grove; the outdoor areas are generally open from early morning until late at night. The cooled conservatories are a separate, paid visit, usually open during the day, so check the current hours and admission before deciding whether to add them. From the gardens, walk towards Marina Bay Sands—allow about 15–20 minutes, depending on your route and photo stops—and head up to the SkyPark Observation Deck. Set aside about an hour; admission is paid, and booking ahead is sensible if you want a particular time.
Walk over to ArtScience Museum, inside the same waterfront complex, for about 1.5–2 hours. Its exhibitions and schedule vary, so check what’s showing and confirm Monday opening hours before you go. Later, have an easy hawker-style dinner at Makansutra Gluttons Bay; expect roughly S$10–25 per person, depending on what you order, and allow a little extra time if it’s busy. Finish with a relaxed 45-minute stroll around Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, just across the waterfront. Check the performance calendar if you’d like to see a show; tickets are separate. Most of today’s stops are walkable from one another, but Singapore’s heat and sudden showers make water, sun protection and a small umbrella useful.
Start at Buddha Tooth Relic Temple in Chinatown; allow about an hour to see the richly decorated halls and museum spaces. Dress modestly, follow the signs about photography and restricted areas, and check the temple’s visitor guidance before you go, as access can vary. Then walk a few minutes to Maxwell Food Centre for lunch. It’s a lively hawker centre, so take a lap before choosing; budget around S$6–15 per person, and bring cash as some stalls may not accept cards.
Take the MRT or a taxi from Chinatown to Kampong Glam—roughly 15–25 minutes depending on the route and traffic. At Sultan Mosque, admire the golden dome from outside, or enter only if visitor access is available; prayer times and religious activities may limit visits, so dress respectfully and follow posted guidance. Spend the next hour wandering Haji Lane, where colourful shophouses, murals and small independent shops make browsing more fun than shopping with a checklist.
Head to Tekka Centre in Little India by MRT or taxi, usually around 15–25 minutes from Kampong Glam. Explore the market, then settle in for an affordable Indian meal; allow 1–1.5 hours and budget roughly S$6–15 per person. Hawker-centre hours vary by stall, so arriving well before closing gives you the best choice.
Have breakfast at Tiong Bahru Market, where the cooked-food stalls make an easy, good-value send-off; allow about an hour and budget roughly S$5–12 per person. Hawker-stall hours vary, so go in the morning and check locally if you have a particular stall in mind. Afterwards, spend around 45 minutes wandering Tiong Bahru: look up at the neighbourhood’s distinctive older public housing and Art Deco-style shophouses, and keep your bags in mind if you’re walking in the heat.
Head to Jewel Changi Airport by taxi or ride-hail for the most direct transfer, or take public transport if your luggage and flight timing make the extra connections comfortable. Allow time for the journey and, at Jewel, at least 1–2 hours to see the indoor gardens and Rain Vortex; check current visitor hours and access before setting out, since the waterfall’s viewing hours can differ from the mall’s. Jewel is connected to Terminal 1 and reachable from the other terminals, but leave enough time to get to your airline’s check-in area. For your Singapore-to-Delhi flight, plan to reach Changi about three hours before departure. Budget roughly 9–12 hours door to door for airport arrival, check-in, the flight and onward travel after landing in Delhi; use your confirmed ticket time to work backwards, and don’t count on a long Jewel visit if the schedule is tight.
