Your Singapore Itinerary: Top attractions for solo travellers

Singapore, a vibrant city-state boasting a rich multicultural heritage, is a fantastic destination for solo travellers. This guide lists must-see attractions categorised for your interests, ensuring a fun and fulfilling solo adventure!

Interactive & fun attractions for solo travellers  

While exploring solo, embrace the interactive experiences in Sentosa Singapore.

Known for its sandy beaches, Sentosa Island is a place for fun & relaxation. Lined with beach clubs and activities, you can easily spend your whole day here! We identified two popular attractions you might like as a solo traveller, but if you’re feeling adventurous, there are also many other things you can do here.

Madame Tussauds Singapore 

Madame Tussauds Singapore has 15 interesting zones, packed with life-like wax figures of popular stars and interactive activities.

Get teleported into the Bollywood scene when you enter the Ultimate Film Star Experience! Accompanied by Bollywood music are popular Bollywood actors and actresses waiting for you. Not only are there MANY photo-taking spots (some of which you can send digital copies to your phone) but there are also Bollywood outfits for you to try on. Dance in front of interactive screens and act like a movie star in Dola Re Dola!



You can also walk through Singapore’s history at Images of Singapore to learn about the lives of coolies, our pioneers of Singapore. In the History & Leaders Zone, you'll meet influential figures who shaped Singapore, such as Mr. Lee Kuan Yew, the nation's founding father.

Watch out for more Bollywood glamour and dance on the IIFA stage among the Bollywood Kings and Queens. The fun doesn't stop there! After meeting your favourite superheroes, put on your 3D glasses and dive into the Marvel 4D Experience, only in Singapore.

Last but not least, there is also a VR racing experience (add-on purchase) that we highly recommend for an extra adrenaline rush where you get to experience what it’s like to be in an F1 car. Book your tickets now and prepare for a fun and exciting day!

Sensoryscape 

Extend your fun at Sentosa with the new Sensory Scape attraction, featuring immersive multisensory zones that fuse nature with cutting-edge technology. Immerse yourself in different themed installations, designed to engage your six senses while featuring aesthetic architecture.  Smell the fragrant blooms, feel the textured walkways, or even listen to the sound of nature. Don’t forget your camera – at night, the walkways transform with stunning light displays and you can interact through VR.

For even more exciting adventures, check out our guide to the many activities you can enjoy on Sentosa.

Cooking class 

Another interactive activity you can do is to unleash your inner chef and master the art of Singaporean cuisine by joining a fun cooking class! Learn to whip up local favourites like Chicken Rice or Laksa, and enjoy your delicious creation afterwards. Its is sure to be a rewarding experience that you can share with your family back home - making you a Singaporean master chef.

Must-visit places for cultural experiences 

Singapore's charm lies in its harmonious blend of cultures – Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European. Immerse yourself in this diversity and learn through experiencing the culture first-hand in these three main areas:

Little India 

Little India is a vibrant neighbourhood that offers something for everyone! Locals and tourists alike flock here to soak up the culture and energy. Local Indians visit the temples, like the stunning Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, or shop for traditional goods at Mustafa Centre, a 24-hour shopping haven.

Besides that, you can also walk through history with the “Little India Heritage Trail” offering you a glimpse into the stories and memories of this area. It’s a free and easy trail that has several routes for visitors to better understand this area.

Chinatown 

Chinatown is Singapore’s largest historic district, occupying three restored pre-war shophouses at Pagoda Street, introducing visitors to Chinatown’s history. Another popular spot would be Temple Street, where you can haggle for souvenirs at the bustling street markets and ornate temples are located. While you’re there, don't miss Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, a magnificent Buddhist landmark.

Kampong Glam

Once exclusive to the Muslim community, Kampong glam has now blossomed into a cultural melting pot. From vibrant street art along Haji Lane to the charm of Sultan Mosque, you will find a harmonious mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian and European influences.

Unleash your inner explorer at popular tourists attractions  

Singapore offers stunning natural beauty alongside its urban landscape. Explore these green havens tucked away from the bustling city:

Sentosa Nature Discovery 

Hike through lush rainforests and discover hidden waterfalls at Sentosa Nature Discovery. Spot exotic wildlife and immerse yourself in the tranquillity of nature. (Be sure to wear comfortable shoes and bring water for your hike.)

Mount Faber Park

Take the Singapore Cable Car into Sentosa from Mount Faber for breathtaking panoramic views of the city. If not, you can hike through Mount Faber Park and enjoy a romantic dinner at a restaurant overlooking the harbour.

This curated itinerary offers a starting point for your solo travel in Singapore. While iconic spots like Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer, and more are always worth a visit, feel free to mix and match these suggestions with your own discovery. Singapore is brimming with vibrant culture and hidden gems waiting to be discovered. So, embrace the adventure, explore at your own pace and create memories that will last a lifetime. Happy travelling!
