Location & Directions
The Changi area sits at Singapore's eastern tip. The airport and Jewel are the obvious draw, but the wider coastline — Changi Village, the beach and boardwalk, the Pulau Ubin ferry and the WWII museum — is only a short ride east of the terminals. Here is how to get to all of it by MRT, bus, taxi or car, with a map of the whole area.

The Changi area
The Changi area is at Singapore's eastern tip. The airport sits on reclaimed land here and is the country\'s main international airport (IATA: SIN, ICAO: WSSS) — repeatedly voted the world\'s best, with four terminals (T1–T4) and the Jewel nature-themed complex connected by the free Skytrain. But "Changi" also names the older coastline east of the runways — Changi Village, Changi Beach, the boardwalk and the Changi Point ferry — that gave the airport its name and predates it by decades.
