The city is best explored on foot if you have the time. Pick up the "Yours to Explore Guide" from your hotel or a Singapore Visitors Centre. These walking tour maps of Chinatown, Little India, Singapore River, Orchard Road and art sites show you the essentials. The Civic District Trail Guide walks you through the heart of old Singapore. |
| Boating |
|
The Singapore River was the lifeline of Singapore where our first immigrants eked out a meagre living and saw Singapore transform from an obscure little fishing village to a great seaport. Hop onto a glass-top boat or bumboat and enjoy a leisure cruise on the river. Choose from a range of riverboat services available - loop hop-on and hop-off, river express, river taxi and leisure sightseeing tours.
