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.

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%!* 

*prices accurate as of October 2025

Things to do in Singapore

When visiting Singapore for the first time it’s easy to feel a little overwhelmed. It may only be a small island, but it’s packed with activities, attractions, and iconic landmarks. Don't worry. Whatever your budget, and no matter how long you’re staying, we’ve got you covered. We’ve put together a list of our favorite attractions so you can get a real feel for the Garden City. Finding Your Way Around Spend a few hours getting to know the city with a ride on the Big Bus Singapore. It’s a hop-on-hop-off bus, so if you see something you like, jump off and explore. It’ll take you all over the city, pointing out the key landmarks and must-see attractions. By the end of the ride you’ll have a much better understanding of where to go and what to do. You can’t visit Singapore without taking a trip to Sentosa Island. Take the Cable Car Sky Pass and treat yourself to a completely different perspective of the city. It’s only a brief ride, but you won’t want to miss out on this experience. Once you touchdown on Sentosa, hop on the Sentosa Island Bus Tour. A local guide will fill you in on the island's rich history, top things to see and do, and share some local knowledge you won’t find in any guidebooks. Singapore on a Budget Yes, it’s an expensive city, but you don’t need to break the bank to have an amazing time in Singapore. Gardens by the Bay will blow your mind with the natural beauty, technical constructions, and at night, the free light shows. Whether you’re alone, traveling with a partner, or vacationing with the family, the Gardens are a must-see attraction. What’s more budget-friendly than lying at the beach all day, soaking in the rays? Whatever your activity level, there’s a beach for you in Singapore. Tanjong beach is the place to be seen, Siloso beach has incredible watersports, and then you’ve got your pick of picture-perfect islands like Lazarus Island and St John’s. Along with Gardens by the Bay, you’ll find plenty more free light shows around the city at night. If you find yourself in front of Marina Bay Sands before sunset you’ll witness to an unforgettable show, all without paying a dime. Explore the Animal Kingdom Get up close and personal with the local wildlife in the 26-hectare award-winning Singapore Zoo. With over 4,200 animals including white tigers, Malayan tapirs, flying foxes, and many more, it’s a treat for the whole family. Alongside the waterpark rides and surfing opportunities, Adventure Cove Waterpark allows you the opportunity to swim with thousands of tropical fish, as you snorkel and explore the magical reefs. If you want to get even closer, hop in a pool with the majestic stingrays. Don’t worry, they’re perfectly harmless. If you've still got energy left after a busy day exploring, consider taking a night safari. Experience nature like never before in the world’s first nocturnal zoo. Watch cats hunting for fish, plus discover exactly what the animals get up to after dark. With a chance to see leopards, hippos, tigers, hyenas, and bears, a night safari is a perfect end to a wild day. Take a Cruise If you want to slow things down and explore Singapore from a unique perspective, hop on a boat and take a river cruise. Drift down the Singapore river and tick off all the iconic landmarks aboard a traditional bumboat. If you want something a little less traditional, consider splashing into Marina Bay with a DUCKtours Cruise. Traveling in an amphibious vehicle, you’ll feel like James Bond as you drive from the land straight into the water. Shop Until you Drop You’ll need to buy some souvenirs for friends and family and, while you’re at it, why not treat yourself? The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands is a day out in itself. A huge, sprawling complex of luxury shops, restaurants, boutiques, and iconic features, you’ll want to dedicate at least a full afternoon to this experience. Chinatown is home to stunning temples and restaurants, but there are also lots of shopping opportunities too. Find the perfect gift for a loved one, or splash out on yourself and bring home a unique memento to remember your time in The Garden City. If you find yourself in Chinatown and want to learn more while having some fun, Puzzle Hunt in Chinatown is the way to go. Run around finding clues and solving puzzles, all while learning more about the local Chinese culture. Get on your bike If you want to combine sightseeing with a little exercise, take a bike tour of the city. GoGreen Bicycle Rentals offer a two-hour rental so you can get out and explore the green side of the city. It’s a cycle-friendly island, so you’re free to enjoy the many parks, beaches, and promenades in an eco-friendly manner. If you’re still hungry for more peddling, take a two-hour guided Marina Bay Night Bicycle Tour. Not only will you get a good workout, but you’ll gain a truly unique perspective of the city. The city transforms at night, and you’ll be in a unique position to see some of the most captivating secrets of the city.

Places to watch the sunset in Singapore

Have a look through the photos on your phone and chances are you'll find plenty of sunsets. There’s just something about a glowing pink sky that makes us want to stop and capture it, despite the fact that it happens every day. When we’re traveling, finding a good place to watch it becomes part of the itinerary, almost like a destination hunt, or going to see a show. Singapore, with its iconic skyline, rooftop terraces and scattered islands, has plenty of picture-perfect places to see it, but you have to get your timing right as they only tend to last between 20 and thirty minutes. The good news is, because Singapore is so close to the equator there isn’t much variation in its timing – you can expect the sun to set between roughly 6:50 and 7:20pm whatever time of year you’re there. For the best views, head to: The Marina Bay Sands The Gardens by the Bay The Pinnacle@Duxton From the river Mount Faber Park and Cable Car Sentosa Island The Marina Bay Sands If you’re not staying at the Marina Bay Sands, you should at least make one visit to this iconic structure and its 57th floor SkyPark. With 360-degree views it’s the perfect place to watch the sun sink below the horizon, whether you want to look east over the bay or west towards Sentosa Island. While you’re there, see if you can take a selfie with a celebrity in the background, and be sure to stop for a drink at the Ce La Vi SkyBar. Inside the hotel you’ll also find a casino, museum, shopping mall and several celebrity chef-inspired restaurants, so you won’t run out of things to do! The Gardens by the Bay No visit to Singapore would be complete without a visit to the iconic Supertrees in the Gardens by the Bay – and because of their unmistakable silhouette this enchanting canopy makes the perfect backdrop to any sunset. If you can time it right, watch the light fade from the OCBC Skyway, a 128-meter-long boardwalk between two of the Supertrees, 22 meters above the ground. Even better, head up to the garden’s highest point in the Supertree Observatory, where you’ll also find refreshments and interactive information displays. Look out at familiar landmarks like Floral Fantasy and the Marina Bay Sands Hotel as you enjoy nature’s most spectacular and ever-changing display. The Pinnacle@Duxton This little-known vantage point is the tallest public residence in Singapore, right on the western edge of Chinatown. It has two sky bridges and the highest one, on the 50th floor, is open to the public for a small fee. It’s a wonderful spot for looking down on the district, especially in the evening when the red-roofed pagodas begin to glow and colorful paper lanterns twinkle cheerfully. It’s open until 9pm and there’s a garden as well as a deck area, so you can lounge around with a drink if you like or have a quiet stroll before you return to the bustle below. From the River The gentle lapping of water, pink and yellow hues reflecting in the water, cool breezes gently blowing in your hair – we all know that sunsets look better from the water. It’s a great way to see Singapore as well, giving you a chance to move back from the hive of glass and concrete and admire the skyline as it turns from glowing pink edifice to stunning silhouette. Bop along gently in a traditional bumboat from Marina Bay and along the Singapore river, watching as iconic landmarks like the Fullerton Hotel and the Merlion Statue are lit up in the harbor. The Singapore River Cruise lasts around 40 minutes, so time it for about 6:30pm and you should be in for some exceptional evening entertainment. Mount Faber Park and Cable Car If you like a hike before your sunsets, head to the top of Mount Faber Park to the west of the city for stunning views over Keppel Harbor and the waterways to the west. Here you’ll find a number of eateries, if you need a degustation-themed reward for your exertions, and also plenty of spots to sit and have a picnic – especially if you want to stay and watch the stars come out. You could also ride the cable car from Faber Peak, which will carry you over the glittering harbor to Sentosa Island – float over city lights and lush rainforests while the sky turns to indigo around you. The cable car runs until 10pm and your pass includes a return trip, so you can enjoy a pleasant evening exploring the island before heading back. Sentosa Island It’s on the western side of the city and has plenty of beaches, which makes it the perfect place to sit and savor a spectacular sunset. There are hotel rooftop terraces – such as at the Outpost and Village hotels, or you could ride the SkyHelix Sentosa, which is a rotating gondola that takes you 79 meters above sea level. If that’s not enough adrenaline for you, perhaps you’d prefer the AJ Hackett Sentosa Skybridge, where you can swing from a height of 40 meters over the beach. On the other hand, if you’ve spent the day exploring Universal Studios, enjoy the sunset view from the top of one of its unique rides, such as Puss in Boots’ Giant Journey, the Battlestar Galactica: Human vs Cylon Dueling Coasters, or Donkey’s Dragon (from Shrek) Enchanted Airways Coaster. Follow the sun with Go City No matter where you go in Singapore, there’ll always be a sunset worth finding a spot for. And whatever you do, make sure you have your Go City All-Inclusive or Explorer Pass to hand, to make sure you save on all your favorite attractions around the city.
