Best Things to do in Singapore (2026)

Beyond the museums, the best experiences in Singapore are often outdoors or after dark. Night Safari, next to Singapore Zoo in Mandai, lets you explore by tram and on four walking trails in the cool of the evening, while the Singapore Flyer offers a slow, half-hour rotation with views across Marina Bay and out to the ships waiting in the Singapore Strait. The Southern Ridges link Mount Faber, Telok Blangah Hill and Kent Ridge by trails and bridges, with Henderson Waves as the highlight.

For a change of pace, take a bumboat from Changi Point to Pulau Ubin and cycle past village houses and quarry lakes to the Chek Jawa wetlands. Closer to the centre, Kampong Gelam rewards a slow wander around Sultan Mosque, Haji Lane and Arab Street, ideally from late afternoon into the evening. Book Night Safari time slots in advance, ride the Flyer at sunset if you can, and keep long walks to early mornings or late afternoons. Carry water, sun protection and an umbrella wherever you go, as showers arrive quickly.
