Singapore Location Map: Singapore in World & Southeast Asia Map
Before you land, it's fun to see where Singapore sits. We're often called the "Little Red Dot," but we punch way above our weight!
First, look at the Singapore Location in World Map and you'll find us right at the tip of the Malaysian peninsula, straddling key shipping lanes. This strategic spot makes us one of the world's best flight hubs and an easy layover destination.
Zooming in to the Singapore in Southeast Asia Map, you'll see our position as the perfect gateway to Southeast Asia. We're close enough for easy ferry trips to Indonesian islands like Batam or Bintan, or a quick bus trip up to Malaysia.
City Map of Singapore: Airport and Regions Layout on Map
Once you're focused on the city, you need to know your neighborhoods.
Check out the Singapore City Map and you can find our official regions—Central, East, North East, North, and West—helping you understand where everything is clustered.
The most important takeaway? Everything is close!
Changi Airport (SIN) is located in the East Region. Don't worry, the trip downtown is fast and efficient; by MRT or taxi, you can generally reach the Central Business District in just 30 to 40 minutes.
Most of your activities—Marina Bay, Chinatown, Orchard Road, Sentosa Island—are concentrated in the small, walkable Central Region.

Singapore MRT Map with LRT Lines
If you only print one map, make it the Singapore MRT Map with MRT and LRT lines. This is your navigator for getting around!
To help you quickly identify your route, here are the main MRT and LRT lines, along with key stations that serve as major hubs or tourist destinations:
| Line Name | Color | Key Stations (Hubs/Attractions) |
|---|---|---|
| North-South Line (NSL) | Red | Jurong East (Hub), Orchard (Shopping), City Hall (Major Interchange) |

Every line has its own distinct color—learn the lines, and you've mastered Singapore!
While you will rely heavily on the MRT, note that the LRT (Light Rail Transit) lines primarily act as local feeder services in residential areas, so you likely won't use them much.
Pro Tip: Pick up an EZ-Link card at any station to tap-and-go effortlessly, or grab a Singapore Tourist Pass if you plan on heavy daily travel.
