The unique Formula 1 Singapore Grand Prix offers an exhilarating nighttime race, leaving all daylight hours free for fans to experience the city's many amazing offerings and diversions. Is this your first trip to Singapore? Or are you coming back to this beautiful city for another race weekend? Either way, we have picked out some of the best off-track activities that will definitely fill your daytime hours, leading up to the evening engines that promise to set your heart racing.

Explore Gardens by the Bay

Just a few moments from the Marina Bay Street Circuit, Gardens by the Bay stands as one of Singapore’s principal attractions. This distant and futuristic park, which takes in more than 100 hectares, includes absolutely gorgeous centerpiece features like the Supertree Grove, the Flower Dome, and the Cloud Forest. It’s an exceedingly calm and visually beautiful place to explore during the day—and the cool indoor conservatories are a most-welcome refuge from the tropical heat.

Take in the view from Marina Bay Sands SkyPark

Elevate yourself to the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck for panorama daylight vistas of the city and the circuit beneath. It’s one of the premier places to comprehend the layout of the race—and the city itself. Combine views with adjoining culture? At the nearby ArtScience Museum, catch an exhibit that blends technology, art, and design (and that's a superb way to describe the pre-race scene).

Walk the Helix Bridge and visit Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay

Linking Marina Centre to Marina Bay, the beautiful Helix Bridge is a panoramic pedestrian walkway that leads you to Esplanade – Theatres on the Bay, an iconic waterfront performing arts centre. Even if you don’t catch a show, the area just around the Esplanade is worth visiting for its waterfront vibe and public art.

Sample world-famous hawker food

Singapore's culinary culture finds its greatest expression in the hawker centres—affordable, casual food courts that serve some of the best local dishes. Try Maxwell Food Centre, Lau Pa Sat, or Newton Food Centre for meals like Hainanese chicken rice, satay, laksa, and chili crab. These three locations are often packed with both locals and tourists, making for an authentic food experience that won’t break the bank.

Spend a half-day on Sentosa Island

For devotees taking a family-friendly vacation or yearning for sun and surf during the day, Sentosa Island is a sure bet. Arrive via the cable car from Mount Faber for unforgettable views, then visit such diversions as Universal Studios Singapore, Adventure Cove Waterpark, and the S.E.A. Aquarium. Or simply kick back on one of Sentosa's several beaches before returning to the mainland for the main event.

Relax at Marina Barrage

Marina Barrage is a dam and parkland space popular with people flying kites, cycling, and having picnics. It’s a damn perfect place for daytime calm. Open lawns and city skyline views. Kids traveling with. If you're looking for a smooth day with your fam or without, this is the place.

Visit Merlion Park and explore Chinatown

Stroll over to Merlion Park, located near the half-lion, half-fish statue that is Singapore's iconic landmark. It's a classic photo stop and offers stunning views of Marina Bay. The next stop is nearby Chinatown, another gem in broad daylight. This corner of Singapore is rich in history, with vibrant temples, market stalls, and street food that would meet the standards of any food critic. Between the Merlion and Chinatown, you get a great sense of Singapore's heritage and culture, plus both spots are close to the race circuit.

Try a Singapore River cruise

One of the most soothing methods to experience the city is from the deck of a boat. Day-long trips down the Singapore River afford fans a unique view of the city’s increasingly vertical coastline and serve as a gentle introduction to the more far-flung parts of the interior. Singapore’s river tours usually last an hour, which makes them a good option for anyone looking for a between-the-sessions sightseeing opportunity.

Why Singapore is ideal for a full-day F1 experience

  • Racing starts after dark, allowing a full day to explore.
  • The circuit is nearby to both attractions and food options.
  • Public transport is excellent for seamless navigation throughout the city.
  • A distinctive mix of culture, retail, and public outdoor spaces.
  • The fan zones and circuit-related events take place all day long.
