Yes, Singapore Airlines provides lounge access to eligible passengers with a layover in Singapore.

Other options, like purchasing a day pass at a pay-per-use lounge, are also available.

At Singapore Changi Airport, longer layovers can be spent joining the official Free Singapore Tour, which typically requires at least around 5.5 to 6 hours between flights. It is an easy way to see highlights of the city while your bags are through-checked.
