Looking for Free Things to Do in Singapore?

These free things to do in Singapore are parks, a waterfront statue and a lakeside trail network, covering Merlion Park, Fort Canning Park, MacRitchie Reservoir and the open Gardens by the Bay parkland, while the paid conservatories need a ticket. From Mondrian Singapore Duxton, Merlion Park is 1.6 km north-east in a straight line.

Waterfront and hilltop

Reservoir and gardens

The reservoir trails lead around a public park and artificial lake with perimeter trails and a bandstand for open-air events. The outdoor grounds at Gardens by the Bay are a waterfront park network, with the greenhouses as the paid parts.

Streets and murals

Haji Lane Back Lane is a pedestrian lane of street art and floral murals behind Arab Street. The Peranakan shophouses on Joo Chiat Road can be admired from the street, since they are private homes.

Planning a no-cost day

Walk in the early morning or after sunset, carry water and check park hours before you go.

For paid options, the Marina Bay and museum walk lists them. The wider island sits in a district-based Singapore guide.
