A Destination Within Changi Airport

Opened in 2019, Jewel is a striking addition to Singapore’s Changi Airport.

Seamlessly connecting three terminals, this impressive complex brings together around 300 shops and restaurants under one roof. Already hailed as a world-class airport, Changi has further cemented its status as a destination in itself — thanks to Jewel.

Jewel is situated in the public (landside) area of Changi Airport.

International arrivals can visit after clearing immigration and entering Singapore, but transit passengers cannot access it.

How to Get to Jewel

Jewel is connected to the airport terminals, making it easy to get there.

Here’s how to access it from each terminal:

If you’re heading to Jewel by train from the city centre, simply take the MRT East-West Line to Changi Airport Station, the final stop. From there, follow the signs for the Link Bridge from either Terminal 2 or 3 to reach Jewel.

The Link Bridges are equipped with travelators, making the walk easy and comfortable.

Both bridges connect directly to Level 3 of Jewel.
