Wondering what to do in Singapore?

Dubbed the diverse Gateway to Asia, Singapore is a melting pot of cultures from all corners of the globe. Singapore is a concrete jungle in the most literal sense – the city skyline, blanketed in vegetation, is one of the most sustainable (and recognizable) in the world. As a city that prides itself on its eco-friendly status, the things to do in Singapore toggle between the cosmopolitan and the open-air. Everything to love about big city life – glass skyscrapers, swanky bars, gigantic shopping malls – is found here. But head out of town, and things to do in Singapore are a nature-lover’s nirvana, from walking trails to treetop jungle bridges.

A modern marvel

It’s no secret that Singapore is an urban wonderland: its iconic skyline formed from over 80 skyscrapers has made it one of the most futuristic cities in the world. With mind-bending structures like the Esplanade and Marina Bay Sands, some of the best things to do in Singapore are exploring the world-famous buildings around every corner. But the city is also a treasure trove of historic architectural relics. Singapore’s storied past is beautifully illustrated by perfectly preserved pre-war public housing, old Art Deco-inspired shophouses, and the century-old Botanic Gardens.

The capital of street food

With so many cultures calling Singapore home, the city’s food scene is a collection of the best recipes from around the world (and some quintessentially Singaporean creations). So many things to do in Singapore revolve around food. Maybe you’ll stroll along the downtown area and grab a bite at an upmarket eatery or trendy bar – but the hidden ethnic enclaves are where you’ll truly experience the best of the city’s food. In fact, one of the most thrilling things to do in Singapore is bargaining for bites at hawker centers housed in heritage buildings and no-frill street food stalls.

Singapore after sunset

When night falls and the city lights twinkle into life, the list of things to do in Singapore gets longer and the city really starts showing off. Swanky bars and pubs along the waterfront become crowded, and locals gear up to dance the night away at cool clubs. But even if you’re not into the party scene, there are plenty of things to do in Singapore after dark. Stroll through a sky garden lit up by fairy lights, see a mesmerizing laser show, trawl the crisscrossing lanes in Chinatown, or gawk up at the iconic Supertree Grove – vertical gardens that light up magnificently at night.

Latest reviews from our guests

My husband and I had a day in Singapore so we decided to take a city upscripted day tour of Singapore. Our guide was Keven. Kevin spent eight hours and 20,000 plus steps with us exploring this beautiful City. Kevin was extremely informative and easy going. He designed the day so we got an overview of all the nationalities in Singapore and how they live, eat and work in harmony. We ate, drank and enjoyed the sights. We would highly recommend Kevin and City unscripted if you have a short layover in Singapore.

This is a must to understand how Singapore was shaped, and the people diversity in this city. Nicholas, our guide was great and showed us parts of Chinatown, Little India and Arab quarters. He took us to local eateries where we tasted local and ethnic food, and he even booked dinner for us, and helped us order before saying goodbye to us.

Incredible tour! We had only one day in Singapore and we couldn’t have found a better way to spend it than on this tour. Because it was private we could create our own agenda. We had a combination of a cultural tour, a food tour, a history tour, and an entertainment tour! It was amazing all the ground we covered, both actually and metaphorically. I highly recommend this tour and this tour guide.
