Great ways to explore Singapore on foot for free

Published on 28 dec 2018..

Take a walk around Singapore, and open your eyes to the cultures, nature, artistry and modernity contained in our lively metropolis. If you’d like to walk in the shoes of a local artist or devotee, join one of these recommended free walking tours, whose guides will reveal to you the diversity of the Singaporean tapestry.

Singapore Downtown Walking Tour: A Self-Guided Walk

Welcome to JetSetting Fools, here you will find our best travel tips for destinations worldwide. Some of the links on this site are Affiliate Links and if you use them to make a purchase, we may earn a commission. For more information, read our Disclosure Policy .

Singapore is a fascinating destination! From colony to city-state, the island nation has a historical past and future vision. We explored Singapore by setting out on foot to discover the top sights and hidden gems. Follow in our footsteps and get acquainted with the city on a Singapore Downtown Walking tour. 

Our Self-Guided Singapore Downtown Walking Tour

On our Singapore trip, we wanted to see as much as possible – including this historic and modern Singapore CBD. We could have joined one of the guided Singapore walking tours, but instead decided to grab a Singapore tourist map and plot our own route to Singapore tourist spots.

On our Self-Guided Colonial Singapore Walking Tour, we focused on places to visit in Singapore for free. Travelers visiting Singapore on a Budget will need little more for this free Singapore tour than a good pair of walking shoes and a Singapore map (which we include in this post!). 

That said, the route of our City Walk Singapore passes by a few of the best museums and other top attractions that can be visited with ticketed entrance. 

Pro Tip: The Downtown Core is easily connected to other popular districts in Singapore. Visitors who want to continue exploring on foot can check out our other Self-Guided Walking Tours in Singapore: Things to See in Marina Bay and What To See in Chinatown , too! 

Walking Tours of Singapore: What You Will Need

Make sure you are prepared for walking around Singapore! In addition to where to walk around in Singapore, we have a few tips for what you will need. 

City Walking Shoes

We highlight one of the best city walks in Singapore – and it covers some ground! Make sure you wear comfortable walking shoes when in Singapore. I like to wear lightweight shoes by Columbia and Kris prefers wearing Merrell trail shoes for city exploration. Read more of our tips in our blog post, The Best Shoes for Traveling .

Singapore Weather Gear

Before you start your walk around Singapore, it’s a good idea to check the weather forecast. If it will be sunny and hot, make sure to apply sunscreen – and bring a wide-brimmed hat and umbrella for shade, too. In the case that rain is forecasted, bring a packable raincoat . 

Travel Camera

In our walking route planner Singapore Downtown, we feature top sights and attractions. In order to best capture the beauty of Singapore in photos, we recommend using an actual camera . We use a DSLR Canon Rebel (which is a perfect budget camera for beginners ) with an everyday 18-135mm lens (that provides a fantastic range for urban photography). 

WiFi and Singapore Walking Map

To help travelers find their way, we provide a Downtown Singapore map at the end of the post. Additionally, we provide a link to Google Maps to our Online Walking Map Singapore that details walking directions. 

However, to use either Singapore tour map during your walk, you will need a WiFi connection . On our travels, we use a GlocalMe Mobile WiFi Hotspot , which is perfect for travelers! We can connect multiple devices, buy data online (or use a SIM card) and it doubles as a power bank. 

That said, relying solely on Singapore Google maps is never a good idea. We recommend purchasing a Singapore sightseeing map – like this one  – before your trip.

Singapore Travel Insurance

Travel Insurance may assist with trip cancelations and lost luggage , and it could help cover illnesses and injuries abroad , too. Find out the full benefits of coverage with World Nomads .

Guided Walking Tour Singapore

We have outlined an easy-to-follow Self-Guided Walking Tour Singapore. However, if you are more comfortable completing your walking route Singapore with a guide, there are many options to choose from. Let a guide lead you through the history and sights of downtown Singapore on a highly-rated group tour  or find other tours on Viator . 

Pro Tip: Be sure to get (and stay) organized for your vacation to Singapore by using our Trip Planning Printables !

Self Guided Walking Tour Singapore

Lace up your shoes, it’s time to start your free walking tour in Singapore Downtown! 

#1 Raffles Hotel

Like many tourists, we started our Singapore Downtown Walking tour at the iconic Raffles Hotel. Originally built by the sea in 1887, the hotel is named for the city’s founder, Sir Stamford Raffles.

The colonial-style hotel has been moved and undergone numerous additions and remodels. The massive complex is a historic Singapore landmark. The guest list ranges from the famous to soldiers to prisoners of war during World War II.

Possibly more famous than the hotel is the hotel bar, The Long Bar , which is credited for creating the original Singapore Sling (however, we passed on ordering one, as the city’s namesake cocktail at Long Bar costs a bundle!).

#2 Civilian War Monument

The second stop on our Free Walking Tour Singapore is the 220-foot-tall Civilian War Monument. The WWII monument stands to remember the thousands of civilians that were killed during Japanese Occupation during the Pacific War (1942-1945).  

#3 The Padang

The Padang is one of the great places to walk around in Singapore. The open grassy field in the city center is used for many events. It is often used by the Padang Cricket Club, which was established in 1852.

#4 St. Andrew’s Cathedral in Singapore CBD

Dedicated in 1861, the Anglican St. Andrew’s Cathedral is the largest Anglican church in the country. The cathedral is dedicated to St. Andrew, the patron saint of Scotland, because of the generous donations for the church building by the Scottish community. St. Andrew’s is a popular stop on Downtown Singapore walking routes, not only because of its beauty, but also because it demonstrates the diverse history of the city. 

#5 Singapore Supreme Court

Next up on our Singapore free walking tour is the modern Supreme Court Building. Singapore is known for its strict laws and stiff penalties (trafficking illegal drugs is punishable by death). The Supreme Court – comprised of the Court of Appeal and the High Court – is where the punishments are doled out. The current Supreme Court building opened in 2005. The building, which looks like a spaceship landed on it, features glass to emulate ‘transparency in law.’

#6 Singapore Parliament House

A modern landmark, the Parliament House is the next stop on our Free City Tour Singapore. Relatively new, the Parliament House in Singapore just opened in 1999, but it was designed to look historical and stately. The new building, which was needed due to lack of space in the previous building, incorporates a historic building that dates to 1864.

#7 Old Parliament – The Arts House

Built in 1826, the Old Parliament House – now The Arts House – is a national monument of Singapore, which is why we include it as a stop on our Free Tour Singapore. It is the oldest government building in Singapore and today serves as an arts and heritage center. There is a fee to enter. 

#8 National Gallery (Former Supreme Court and Singapore City Hall)

The National Gallery Singapore – and its more than 8,000 artworks – ranks as the largest museum in Singapore. A ticket is required for entry to the National Gallery (and, as the half-way point in our Free City Tour Singapore, it might be a good place to take a break and escape the heat!). 

The reason we include the gallery on our Singapore Free Tour, however, is the history of the building. Dating to 1929 when it was completed as the city’s municipal building, the structure has been the site of numerous significant moments in Singapore’s history. 

#9 Victoria Theatre

Dating to 1862, the Victoria Theatre is an important cultural icon in Singapore. The theater has been used for events, meetings, exhibitions, performances and even as a hospital. The building is still in use as a theater – but has also been designated a Singapore National Monument.

#10 Sir Stamford Raffles Statue

The next stop on our Singapore history tour is the exact place where Sir Stamford Raffles landed in Singapore in January 1819. Raffles is credited as the founder of modern Singapore – and his statue stands on the riverside at the spot he stepped ashore with towering skyscrapers rising up behind him.

#11 Asian Civilizations Museum

If you are wondering what to do in Downtown Singapore to learn about the history and culture of the city, then a stop at the Asian Civilizations Museum is a must! The Asian Civilizations Museum features history and artifacts from all Asian cultures, which celebrates the diversity of Singapore’s multi-ethnic population.

#12 Cavenagh Bridge

Continuing our Singapore heritage tour, take a stroll across the historic Cavenagh Bridge. It is the oldest remaining – and only – suspension bridge in the city. Before crossing the historic bridge, take note of the original signage stating cattle are forbidden to cross the bridge. 

#13 Fullerton Hotel

The architecturally beautiful Fullerton Hotel was built in 1928 and originally served as Singapore’s post office. It only became a 5-star hotel in 2001. The area around the hotel along the riverside is the best place to walk in Singapore to see the colonial history of the city.

#14 Boat Quay

A must-see on walking tours Singapore, Boat Quay presents and exceptional glimpse at the city’s past. The old shop houses of Boat Quay represent the traditional past in striking contrast to the sleek skyscrapers that sit beyond it. The shops have all been converted into restaurants and bars and, although touristic, Boat Quay is a fun place to spend an evening.

Top Tip : Further up-river are two more historic-turned-entertainment quays: Clarke Quay and Robertson Quay. 

#15 Yueh Hai Ching Temple

The Yueh Hai Ching Temple, the oldest Teochew temple in Singapore, marks the next stop on our Singapore walking tour. It was built in 1826 to give thanks to the gods for safety at sea. The intricate details and bold colors stand out, even though the temple sits in the shadows of the skyscrapers. 

#16 Lau Pa Sat Hawker Stalls

The best walks in Singapore include food – and our Downtown Singapore city tour does, too! Sitting low-key among the towering buildings, the historic Lau Pa Sat market (also called Telok Ayer Market) provides a glimpse into the old-world charm of Singapore.

The building, with its cast-iron arches and clock tower, house some of the best hawker stalls in Singapore. Our top recommendations are Indian Curry House and Thunder Tea Rice (for phenomenal – and healthy – cuisine). But, if visiting in the evening, sit outside and enjoy sticks of flame-cooked satay.

That completes our walk to top sights in Singapore Downtown! Below you will find our Singapore City Tour Map so that you can easily find your way to the attractions listed above.

Popular Districts

Yes! We know! Singapore is a very small island-state, but that did not stop the city planners from trying to give each of our districts their own distinct personality. We love how this create the illusion that we are living in a much bigger land area than we actually are, and how much more there is to explore in each of our precincts.

For Singaporeans, The Eastie vs Westie debate still rages on today!

Singapore – Where everybody is connected

Did you know that in Singapore, there are 148 mobile phone subscribers per 100 people? The residents of the Lion City sure love their technology – but there’s many more interesting things about the world’s only island city-state. The name itself came from the Malays who borrowed it from Sanskrit: Simhapura means lion city, and although there never really were many lions in the area, the name stuck. It’s only natural that one can find this animal in many of the Singaporean symbols – just look at the Merlion, a mythical creature with a lion’s head and the body of a fish, the official emblem.

Singapore’s cultural diversity is widely known: Tourists choose this destination because of its so-called hawker cuisine of many traditions and influences, the technology-readiness, the city’s role in the business world, and the several worthy monuments and sights it offers. Here lies one of the world’s most photographed buildings: the Marina Bay Sands is an integrated resort opened in 2010 which includes a 2561 room hotel, a mall, a museum, an exhibition centre, two theatres, restaurants, the world’s largest atrium casino and the list goes on...

The Lau Pa Sat historic market and the Sri Mariamman Temple are popular destinations for those who are interested in the more historical sights, and Universal Studios’ Hollywood Boulevard, located on Sentosa Island is another attraction that most visitors wouldn’t want to miss.

Sabrina Boat team steps in to take over Shrewsbury's guided walking tours

The operator of one of Shrewsbury's most popular visitor activities has stepped in to take over the town's guided walking tours.

The tours, which showcase the historic nature of the county town first-hand, were previously operated by Shropshire Council's museums service.

But with the service set to stop running them, the Sabrina Tours, which operates the town's Sabrina Boat along the River Severn, is taking over from May 1.

Dilywn Jones, owner of Sabrina Tours, and Maggie Love, lead tour guide for Shrewsbury Tour Guide Association, said they were delighted at the new partnership.

Mrs Love said: "The partnership with Sabrina Tours is a natural fit as we both share the same passion and love for Shrewsbury.

"The guides know they will do everything they can to ensure that the tours are accessible to as many as possible.

"Myself and all the guides are extremely excited to be working with Sabrina Tours from the start of May and overjoyed that the Shrewsbury General History daily tours will continue."

Mr Jones said: "When we were approached by the Shrewsbury Tour Guide Association to run the guided walks programme, it was never in doubt that we wanted to be involved to showcase and promote our fascinating and medieval town."

Led by knowledgeable and passionate local guides, each walking tour offers a unique perspective of more than 1100 years of history in Shrewsbury, highlighting key landmarks, hidden gems and lesser-known anecdotes that breathe life into the town.

Under the new partnership the daily walking tours will start in the Square at 2.15pm every afternoon from May 1 and take approximately 90 minutes.

For those wishing to explore the town from both land and water, Sabrina Tours are also offering an exclusive boat trip and walking tour discount ticket – offering participants a journey that combines a leisurely boat trip along the picturesque River Severn, followed by a captivating, guided walking tour through the charming streets of Shrewsbury.

The Sabrina boat runs on the hour, 11am to 4pm, daily, providing live commentary of the history along the river, as well as table service and refreshments.

For more information or to book a tour visit www.shrewsburytours.com or call 01743 369741.

Meanwhile, Fay Bailey, Culture and Heritage Development Manager at Shropshire Museums, said: "Shropshire Museums continues to run the popular ghost tours, Christmas Carol, and shuts and passages tours, as well as specialist subject tours and group tours.

"We are delighted Sabrina Boat are running daily walking tours, giving visitors and residents further opportunities to discover the fascinating history of our beautiful county town.

"Our tours are led by a team of knowledgeable guides and can be booked at [email protected]. For daily walking tours contact sabrinaboat.co.uk.”
