How to get to Marina Bay Sands by MRT
The resort sits at Bayfront MRT (CE1/DT16), where the Circle Line and the Downtown Line meet. A tunnel links the station with the resort. Trains run roughly from 06:00 to 00:00, so do not plan around an exact last train.
Plan your day around where you are heading. If it is the deck, read about SkyPark Observation Deck tickets first, because entry is timed. The exit you take depends on the destination.
