Top 10 Scenic Walking Areas in Central Area/City Area, Singapore

July 20, 2021 Oliva Fomby

The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

Waterfront Promenade

Reviewed By cantleyblade

During the day this can get very busy, particularly if there are cruise liners in port.trying to get photos by Merlion can be a challenge. Late evening as darkness falls, the crowds thin, and there is plenty of space. Great photo opportunities and around 9pm you get fantastic views of the MBS laser show - the financial district /2Fullertons are also well lit to provide a very attractive area with the river in between complimenting with evening traffic.

OCBC Skyway

Reviewed By WanderingWithUsTwo - Phoenix, United States

The airport actually offers free guided bus tours for layovers of 5 hours or more. We had 15 hours between flights which was just enough time to explore. There are tickets to the OCBC Walkway which is 60 ft off the ground and connects two of the trees via a 400 ft suspension bridge. We got tickets through @Klook which included the walkway, cloud forest, and flower garden for 22 USD per person. Before going up you must pick a time slot at the ticket booth. We chose to go at night because they offer 15 minute nightly light shows at 8 & 9PM. To see the show from above, we suggest getting your tickets for 7:20 because we weren’t able to go up in time with our 7:40 tickets due to the lines to go up via elevator. This show was amazing considering it’s free and offered each night. Afterwards we crossed the marina walkway to the bay to see the free Spectra light show which also takes place nightly at 8 & 9PM in front of the hotel. Spots fill up quickly but it’s hard to find a bad spot. This show could best be described as the World of Color show from Disneyland. We packed so much into our layover in Singapore and ended it with drinks at the club lounge on top of the Marina Bay Sands. They offer free entry on Thursday and drink vouchers on days that there is a cover! - @wanderingwithustwo

Gelam Gallery

With new dustbins, renovated drain covers and freshly painted walls, the back lanes of Muscat Street have been rejuvenated for the first outdoor gallery in Singapore, Gelam Gallery! Using the walls at the back of the shophouses as canvases, the nondescript back lanes of Muscat Street that were once used only for delivery and refuse disposal have been given a transformational makeover.
