Planning a trip to Singapore? Think futuristic skylines, lush gardens, hawker feasts and beachy Sentosa vibes—all packed into a compact, super-easy city to navigate. Go City Singapore helps you see more of it for less, with flexible options that fit planners, families, culture-curious wanderers and thrill-seekers alike. Choose from two pass types and tap into a lineup of top attractions, tours and experiences across Marina Bay, the Civic District, Chinatown, Little India, Kampong Glam, Sentosa and even Jewel Changi. If you like saving money and simplifying logistics, Go City Singapore is your handy sidekick.

The basics: what is the Go City Singapore pass?

 

In short, it’s a sightseeing pass in an app that unlocks dozens of Singapore attractions for one bargain price—available as an All-Inclusive Pass or an Explorer Pass.

All-Inclusive Pass

  • Choose a 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7-day pass.
  • Visit as many attractions as you like across consecutive calendar days—perfect for big sightseeing bursts.
  • Great if you want the freedom to pop into museums, hop on tours and stack experiences back-to-back.
  • Best for first-timers, families on a schedule, and anyone planning full days around Marina Bay and Sentosa.
  • Key wins: the more you do, the more you save; simple scan-and-go entry at each included attraction.

Explorer Pass

  • Choose 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 or 7 attractions.
  • You’ll have 30 days from first use to visit your choices—ideal for sightseeing at a more relaxed pace.
  • Great if you know your must-sees (hello Gardens by the Bay) and want to sprinkle in extras over a few days.
  • Best for repeat visitors, business travelers with a bit of free time, or families mixing pool days with sightseeing.
  • Key wins: pay only for the number of experiences you want.

Both options are fully digital, live in the Go City app and typically offer solid savings compared to buying separate tickets.

Buying and activating your pass

 

  1. Buy online: Purchase from the official Go City website or via the Go City app for the best prices and online support.
  2. Download the Go City app: Your pass lives here. Use the link in your confirmation to add it, then browse opening hours, maps, booking links and tips.
  3. Activate on arrival: All-Inclusive Passes activate at your first scan and run for consecutive calendar days. Explorer Passes activate the same way and give you 30 days to use your choices

Using your pass

What’s included?

Sentosa island and cable car

You’ll find a mix of must-see attractions, tours and unique experiences spanning gardens, sky-high views, Sentosa fun, culture and food. A few favorites…

Sky-high views and green wonders

 

Gardens by the Bay is a headliner for good reason. Wander the Flower Dome’s changing floral displays, then step into the misty Cloud Forest to see soaring waterfalls and lush tropical plant life. Over on Sentosa, ride SkyHelix Sentosa for breezy, open-air views of the island and the South China Sea. Pair it with a Singapore Cable Car Sky Pass for a scenic glide between Mount Faber, HarbourFront and Sentosa—sunset rides are especially gorgeous.

Sentosa thrills and family fun

 

Sentosa is your playground. Meet chart-topping celebs and regional stars at Madame Tussauds Singapore, get your theme park fix at Universal Studios and test your nerve on Skypark Sentosa’s adrenaline rides. Cap it with beach time at Siloso or Palawan between activities.

City highlights and culture

 

Get the lay of the land on Big Bus Singapore’s hop-on hop-off tour—loop past Marina Bay Sands, the Civic District, Orchard Road, Chinatown and Little India with audio commentary to fill in the backstory. Prefer to explore at a gentler pace? Join guided walking tours or explore on two wheels to decode hawker culture, heritage shophouses and temple etiquette. History buffs should head up to Fort Canning’s Battlebox for a compelling World War II site visit set in an underground command center.

Plan ahead

 

A little planning goes a long way in Singapore. Start by grouping your days by area to avoid backtracking: Marina Bay and the Civic District one day; Chinatown and Little India another; Sentosa for a full or half-day; Jewel Changi if you’re arriving early or departing late. Use the Go City app to check opening hours, last entry times and any special notices before you head out. For the All-Inclusive Pass, kick off early to maximize daylight and stack two to four experiences with breaks for hawker center refuels. For the Explorer Pass, lock in your must-dos first, then fill gaps with shorter stops like a walking tour or small museum.

Singapore’s heat and humidity can sap energy, so plan indoor, air-conditioned attractions around midday and save outdoor viewpoints for morning or late afternoon. The MRT is fast, clean and easy—grab an EZ-Link or use contactless payment to zip around efficiently. If you’re eyeing popular slots (think SkyHelix Sentosa or timed conservatory entries at Gardens by the Bay), make reservations as soon as your dates firm up. Weekdays are calmer than weekends, and early or late entries are usually quieter. Build a small buffer between activities, especially when switching neighborhoods, and keep an eye on the weather if you’re planning outdoor or sky-high experiences.

Reservations

Go City Singapore app

Some Singapore experiences require advance reservations or timed entries. You’ll find the latest instructions in the Go City app—book directly through the links provided, have your pass number handy and bring your confirmation on the day. If your plans change, follow the attraction’s cancellation or rescheduling rules to free up the slot. Walk-ups can be possible when space allows, but hot tickets and evening slots often sell out, so it’s worth booking early for peace of mind.

What’s the main advantage of Go City Singapore passes?

 

  • Savings compared to buying individual tickets for each attraction.
  • Flexibility to choose a pass style that matches your travel pace.
  • Easy planning in one app with maps, opening hours and booking links.
  • Instant mobile entry—no paper tickets or multiple bookings to juggle.
  • Freedom to discover new experiences you might have skipped if paying separately.
  • Choice across gardens, culture, Sentosa thrills, tours and cruises.

Is buying a pass worth it?

Night safari

If you’re planning to hit Singapore’s headliners and sprinkle in tours or Sentosa fun, yes—Go City Singapore delivers strong value and smooth logistics. You’ll skip the hassle of separate tickets, tailor your sightseeing to your style, and keep everything in one app. Pick the All-Inclusive Pass for big sightseeing days or go with the Explorer Pass for a slower pace; either way, you’ll see more of the city’s gardens, skyline views, neighborhoods and waterfront for a better price.

Let’s say you get a 5-choice Explorer Pass and choose: 

  • Historic Singapore bicycle tour (SGD 80)
  • Mandai Wildlife Reserve Night Safari (SGD 58)
  • Hop-on hop-off Big Bus tour (SGD 65)
  • Skypark Sentosa (SGD 84)
  • Gardens by the Bay: Flower Dome and Cloud Forest (SGD 46)

 

That’s SGD 333 worth of tickets on a SGD 189 pass. That equals serious savings of SGD 144 or around 43%!*

Guide to Singapore Zoo

Animal lovers will relish the opportunity to visit this immensely popular zoo. Singapore Zoo is designed around the concept of housing animals in naturalistic environments and is home to more than 300 different species. It’s also one of the most beloved animal parks in the region and attracts around two million visitors per year. Come here to encounter a wide array of fauna from across the globe, including everything from Asian elephants and sea lions to reptiles and the world’s largest population of captive orangutans. Spanning multiple themed areas, the zoo itself is an expansive animal park that takes hours upon hours to explore fully, so be sure to prepare in advance of your visit. To help you plan your time at Singapore Zoo, we’ve put together this helpful guide. It’s designed to make the most of your zoo experience and includes tips for visiting, must-see exhibits, and ways to save on admission. Singapore Zoo Tickets Looking for discount Singapore Zoo tickets? Snag a Go Singapore pass. You’ll spend less on admission to the Singapore Zoo and dozens of other popular area attractions. Save up to 52% on combined admission versus paying at the gate. What’s more, you can choose from two pass options: All-Inclusive Pass – All you can do for one fixed price. Includes admission to the zoo as well as 30+ attractions. Explorer Pass – Choose a number of attractions and visit them over a 30-day period. Includes admission to the zoo plus your choice of other attractions. When is the Best Time to Go to Singapore Zoo? You should plan to spend a full day at the zoo. It’s also advisable to go early to avoid the crowds as well as to increase the likelihood of seeing animals at their most active. The more time you allow yourself to spend at the zoo, the more feedings and keeper talks you can enjoy. These special experiences take place at scheduled intervals throughout the day; consult the operating calendar before your visit to see what you’ll catch during your trip. What to Bring Water: Singapore Zoo is massive, so you’ll definitely need to stay hydrated. It’s an especially hot climate during the warmer months so extra water is highly recommended. Sunscreen: Ditto for sunscreen—you’ll be outside in hot weather quite a bit and the last thing you want is a bad sunburn. Umbrella: The climate in Singapore can be temperamental, so be prepared for a sudden downpour. A rain poncho wouldn’t hurt either. Camera: One of the best parts of Singapore Zoo is the many opportunities you’ll get to see unique animals up close. Capture these moments with a camera or camera phone so you can remember your experience. Picnic: While the zoo offers plenty of dining options, you can save money by bringing your own picnic lunch. Please remember to eat only in designated picnic areas. Insect Repellent: It also gets quite buggy in the zoo, especially with so much natural vegetation devoted to the animal enclosures. Be sure to use bug spray or another form of insect repellent. Where to Eat at the Zoo There are plenty of dining options within the zoo itself, including everything from fast food and ice cream to the Ah Meng Kitchen (which features sumptuous local cuisine). You can also find the Wild Deli (which includes gourmet sandwiches and pizzas) and the Chawang Bistro (selling everything from seafood pasta to hotdogs).

1 Week in Singapore Itinerary

Spending a week in Singapore for your vacation but worried about missing any of the city’s highlights? Never fear; we’re here to do all the work for you. Relax and read on as we outline a perfect week in Singapore! Day 1 - Getting acquainted with Singapore You’ve just arrived in Singapore, checked into your hotel room, and unpacked your bags before stepping out to explore the city. As you start your first day here, you’ll face an endless number of choices; our advice is to spend the first day getting to know the city. The Big Bus Singapore is the best way to get a feel for the place. With unlimited access to 2 routes around the city, covering most key attractions and landmarks, hop on and off as much as you want. By the end of the day, you’ll have a clearer idea of where all the hotspots are, plus the attractions you wish to explore further. Day 2 - Spend the day on Sentosa Island Sentosa is a resort island in Singapore with attractions like Universal Studios Singapore and Adventure Cove Waterpark, plus some of the finest beaches in the country. It’s been attracting holidaymakers for over 50 years and continues to grow from strength to strength. The best way to get there is with the Cable Car Sky Pass, riding from Faber Peak across to Sentosa, taking in the incredible panoramic views along the way. Sentosa Island Bus Tour Learn all about the history of the island while discovering all the best natural spots around. With a local tour guide to point out all the best attractions, plus facts, tips and advice for getting the most from your trip, the Sentosa Island Bus Tour is an excellent introduction to Sentosa Island. Universal Studios Singapore Universal Studios Singapore is the first movie theme park in Asia and features seven themed zones: Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, Far Far Away, and Madagascar. With white knuckle rides for the adrenaline junkies, family-friendly rides for the little ones, plus shows and restaurants to keep you topped up in between, Universal Studios Singapore is a must-visit attraction in your weeklong itinerary. Adventure Cove Waterpark Wild water slides, surfing some waves, or snorkeling with tropical fish. This is an attraction you won’t want to miss. Thrill seekers, nature lovers, and happy families can all find some fun at Adventure Cove Waterpark. Get your heart beating with some crazy rides, before drifting down the river in an inflatable tube, and then get up close and personal with stingrays, coral reefs, and thousands of colorful exotic fish. Wings of Time A spectacular light show set over the water, using state-of-the-art technology fused with an outstanding soundscape to tell an award-winning tale of friendship and adventure. After a day of fun and adventure, the Wings of Time light show is the perfect end to your day on Sentosa. Day 3 - Experience the natural beauty of Singapore Singapore is an incredibly biodiverse country, with hundreds of species of flora and fauna, and over 300 species of birds. While there are also high-end hotels, luxury shopping, and world-class resorts aplenty, you’re never far from nature in Singapore. Singapore Botanic Gardens, one of the world’s largest urban parks and one of the most-visited tourist attractions in Singapore - the Gardens are the perfect peaceful location to enjoy a stroll through nature. With its lush greenery and mesmerizing nature, Gardens by the Bay is one of the world’s most visited gardens, featuring the tallest indoor waterfall and largest greenhouse. A climate-controlled mountain mist system cools the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, making it a welcome escape from the hot Singapore days. The gardens are free to explore, and there’s a superb free light show in the evening. Singapore Zoo is an enchanting place for all the family! Enjoy an unforgettable experience as you discover the wonders of the animal kingdom up close. See the wildlife in their natural habitat, with over 4000 animals. Get up close and personal with white tigers, tapirs, flying foxes, and more as you learn about the ongoing conservation work. Day 4 - Sample traditional Singaporean food and drink This day is all about food! Traditional Singaporean food is delicious and flavorful, and it’s a refreshing change from Western food. Singaporean breakfasts usually begin with kaya, a custard of coconut milk, eggs, sugar, and pandan leaf, which gives the jam a sweet, grassy aroma. Obviously, that’s accompanied by a delicious cup of calming tea. After that, try some roti prata, a dish made of flattened dough that is then grilled over a flame and served with cheese, egg, chili, or a spicy curry sauce. It’s best eaten with your hands, so don’t be afraid to get messy! Lunch is the national dish, Laksa. This is a spicy noodle soup made with coconut milk and flavored with prawns and cockles. It’s usually served with Otah (spicy fishcake). For dinner, try Nasi Lemak, rice cooked in coconut milk, served with fried anchovies, meat, peanuts, or soft-boiled egg. Perfect comfort food any time of day, but especially so in the evening after a day of exploring. Regarding drink, in Singapore, you must indulge in a tea-drinking experience. Sitting cross-legged at a low wooden table, you’ll learn the rituals and traditions surrounding the humble leaf - how to hold the cup, how many sips to take, and how to fully immerse yourself in the experience. Day 5 - Singapore is a shopaholic’s paradise Singapore is an irresistible shopping destination with a large variety of retail outlets, shopping centers, and markets offering the latest and the best in international brands. Singapore’s shopping scene has grown over the years to become one of the best in the world, offering stunning luxury items in deluxe boutiques down to quirky little gifts in the street markets. Bugis Street is where you can find Singapore’s budget-friendly products. Also known as “Electronics Street”, Bugis Street features hundreds of shops selling a variety of electronic items at prices that local shoppers find hard to resist. Head here if you are looking for cheap imported products, such as toys, mobile phones, and cameras. Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is a world-class destination, bringing a cosmopolitan vibe to the Singapore tourism landscape, offering international luxury fashion brands. The building itself is a feast for the eyes, with gondolas floating down internal rivers and waterfalls cascading from the rooftops. Chinatown is full of trendy bars, delicious restaurants, historic temples, and street markets selling all manner of goods. Head here for a unique shopping experience, where you can eat, shop, drink and dance all in one neighborhood. Day 6 - Spend the day exploring Singapore’s many beaches Singapore has stunning beaches with beautiful stretches of sand lined with palm trees and sunbeds. Some may be artificial, having the sand shipped in from other countries, but that doesn’t take away from the beauty. Here are a few of our favorites: Tanjong Beach - A nice calm beach to enjoy a gentle swim or just soak in the rays. Head there during the week to appreciate the quieter times, as it fills up fast during the weekends. Palawan Beach - More lively than Tanjong as it’s more picturesque, offering plenty of insta-worthy shots. Beautiful clear, calm waters, with the option to swim out to a nearby island should you fancy a little exercise. Siloso Beach - The third of the Sentosa beaches, and by far the most lively. Stand-up paddle boarding, jet skis, and beach sports are all on offer. If you want action and adventure, Siloso’s the beach for you. Lazarus Island - With no development, this beach is strictly for those wanting peace, quiet, and stunning surroundings. During weekdays, it’s sometimes possible to have this tropical paradise beach all to yourself. Day 7 - Tick off any other last-minute activities If you’ve followed along so far, you’ll be a little exhausted, but very much in love with Singapore. A week is a great time to experience the magic of Singapore, but there’s always something else to see and do. If you’ve got the energy, tick off a few last-minute attractions to ensure you go home with zero regrets. Madame Tussauds Singapore - As if your camera roll wasn’t full enough, make those back home green with envy as you pose for selfies with Taylor Swift, Priyanka Chopra, and Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson! Go on a Puzzle Hunt in Chinatown - Explore the neighborhood while solving brain-twisting clues, as you compete to win a unique collectible prize! Gain a deeper understanding of Singapore’s Chinatown as you test your wits and mental fortitude. Take a Night Safari - You’ve probably been to a hundred zoos, but do you know what the animals get up to after hours? See lions, leopards, tapirs, hippos, tigers, hyenas, otters, bears, and much more. You won’t want to sleep on this opportunity!
