Balance urban sightseeing with parks, gardens and waterfront walks. Singapore's green spaces can provide a useful change of pace between busier sightseeing areas.

10 · YOUR OWN PACE

Leave Room to Wander

Not every hour needs a reservation. Waterfront walks, neighborhoods, cafés, food stops and spontaneous discoveries can become some of the most memorable parts of a Singapore trip.

Planning Tip

Group experiences by area.

Singapore is relatively compact, but grouping nearby attractions can still reduce unnecessary travel and leave more of the day for sightseeing, meals and experiences.
