Beyond The F1 Weekend: A Pit-Stop In Singapore
Getting to Singapore
Begin your journey to The Lion City with Singapore Airlines, the Title Sponsor of the Singapore Grand Prix and a perennial favourite among travellers. For an extra dose of comfort, their Premium Economy Class is a game-changer, featuring a serene cabin with spacious seats, adjustable calf rests, and footrests to pamper you mid-air. Dive into over 1,800 movies, TV shows, music, and games on a 13.3-inch HD touchscreen via the KrisWorld entertainment system, complete with noise-cancelling headphones for uninterrupted me-time. And if you’re feeling peckish, indulge in the “Book the Cook” service on select routes, where you can pre-order a gourmet main course crafted by world-renowned chefs—because why should the luxury wait until you land?
Jewel Changi Airport
Jewel Changi Airport is an experience in itself, with the awe-inspiring Jewel Rain Vortex at its heart. This 40-meter marvel, the world’s tallest indoor waterfall, is surrounded by lush greenery and becomes a dazzling spectacle at night with its enchanting light shows. Beyond the vortex, Jewel offers endless attractions like the Canopy Park, a family-friendly haven with gardens, mazes, and bouncing nets, and the Shiseido Forest Valley, a tranquil indoor forest perfect for a relaxing stroll. Foodies and shopaholics will rejoice with over 280 dining and shopping outlets to explore. For the perfect edible souvenir, Bengawan Solo’s handcrafted traditional Singaporean kuehs and confectionery are a must-try.
Singapore Flyer
Singapore might be mini, but it’s mighty. For panoramic views of Singapore, hop aboard the Singapore Flyer, Asia’s largest observation wheel. Standing at 165 meters tall, the Flyer offers incredible views of Marina Bay, the city skyline, and even neighbouring Malaysia and Indonesia on clear days.
Tip: Visit during sunset or nighttime for stunning views of the illuminated city.
Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay is where nature meets innovation, making it one of Singapore’s most iconic attractions. At its heart is the Supertree Grove, with towering vertical gardens that come alive every evening during the dazzling Garden Rhapsody light and sound show. Step into the Flower Dome, the world’s largest glass greenhouse, to marvel at stunning seasonal floral displays and plants from across the globe. Then, escape to the cool, misty Cloud Forest, home to a 35-meter indoor waterfall and a variety of exotic plants.
Marina Bay Sands
No trip to Singapore is complete without a visit to Marina Bay Sands, an architectural marvel and one of the most luxurious destinations in the city.
SPAGO Dining Room and SPAGO Bar & Lounge
Spago Dining Room by Wolfgang Puck, located atop Marina Bay Sands, is a “garden in the sky” offering breathtaking city views and a fine-dining experience inspired by California’s globally influenced culinary scene. Signature dishes include Big Eye Tuna Tartare Cones, Sea Bream “Laksa”, and “Kaya Toast” with foie gras-espresso mousse, alongside exquisite options like Honey Miso Broiled Black Cod and the USDA Prime Corn-Fed Ribeye 600g, served with their famed aligot potatoes.

To end the night, make your way to Spago Bar & Lounge at Marina Bay Sands, where you can sip elegant cocktails, enjoy delectable bites, and soak in breathtaking views of the infinity pool and glittering cityscape. Unwind in style with their signature Love You Long Time cocktail—a vibrant, spicy-sweet blend of Ketel One Vodka, tangerine, Thai basil, and sparkling sake—and let the nightcap be as unforgettable as your day of exploring.
