​So Singapore is a night race… Here’s what to do in the day!

​In this guide you’ll learn about the different things you can do during the day at the Singapore Grand Prix™​.

Because Singapore is a night race, you’ll have the whole daytime to get out there and enjoy the local colour. You don’t have to sacrifice time at the circuit in order to sightsee. So you can really make the most of your trip.

It’s a city of beautiful contrasts. On one hand, it’s the world’s fourth biggest financial centre, full of sleek and towering architecture. On the other,  it’s a truly green place where parks and nature reserves make up a big proportion of the land. The result is an incredible mix of nature and progress.

Only in Singapore can you find a real rainforest (at Bukit Timah), an ancient Hindu temple (at Sri Mariamman) and a 131 metre high observatory (the Tiger Sky Tower)… all in the same place!

A trip to Gardens by the Bay is a must do. One of the most iconic outdoor attractions in Singapore, it’s a series of sprawling gardens set on the waterfront at Marina Bay. The gardens are comprised of two main areas; Bay South Garden, the larger of the two, and Bay East Garden. The huge supertrees are a sight to behold; man-made tree-shaped structures house vertical gardens between nine and sixteen storeys tall. Stroll on the suspended walkway between two supertrees to take in a bird’s eye view of the gardens.

In the evening the area comes alive with the Garden Rhapsody, a 12-minute choreographed music and light show.

Visitors can also take in attractions including the Cloud Forest, a 35-metre-tall mountain housed in a giant greenhouse and covered in lush vegetation; the Flower Dome, a cool dry conservatory that replicates the Mediterranean climate; and the Far East Organization Children’s Garden, which caters for kids up to the age of 12, combining nature with adventure.

Bay East Garden is set right on the waterfront and makes an ideal spot for picnics, relaxing with a book or admiring the financial district across the water. There are plenty of places to stop off for refreshments all across the gardens too, from laidback cafes to fine-dining establishments.

Get lost in nature
​The Singapore Botanic Gardens is Singapore’s oldest garden and a calm spot near the busy shopping belt of Orchard Road. Highlights include the National Orchid Garden, home to over 60,000 plants and orchids, and Swan Lake, home to two mute swans. The Jurong Bird Park is a good spot for families and birding enthusiasts with its collection of 5,000 birds from 400 species. Feeding sessions at the park allow you to see the birds up close while the flamingo lake will delight young and old alike.

For those who really want to get away from it all, there are plenty of options for exploring Singapore’s wild side. The Southern Ridges offer panoramic views across green open spaces as well as the city and you can explore by foot or by bike. Further north, Singapore’s oldest primary rainforest is found at Bukit Timah Nature Reserve. Just 7.5 miles from the city centre, the reserve is home to more than 500 species of animal and 840 flowering plants. The most commonly encountered animals are long-tailed macaques and there’s also the chance to spot flying lemurs, squirrels and forest birds such as the fairy bluebird and drongo. Explore on a guided or self-guided trip and it is also possible to go mountain biking or rock climbing in the reserve.

4 days isn’t enough – Turn your Singapore GP trip into a full holiday!

​So if you’re heading to Singapore for the Grand Prix™, why not make the most of Asia’s amazing nearby resorts?

Your trip to the Singapore Grand Prix™ is an opportunity for a full length holiday in one of the most beautiful parts of Asia. And there are lots more amazing places to discover.

Two really popular choices are Bali and the Malaysian islands. Both have incredible beaches and culture. Both are just a 2 hour flight from Singapore.

But our personal pick would have to be Borneo. The third biggest island in the world, Borneo is home to 130 million year old rainforests, amazing scuba dive sites, ancient ruins … and orangutans! It also has truly stunning beaches. And it’s only 90 minutes from Singapore.

If you want to really make the most of your Singapore F1™ trip, there’s a whole continent of choice open to you. Take your chance to explore Asia or go even further afield!
