F1 Weekend Itinerary for Tourists: What to See, Eat and Experience in Singapore

The Singapore Grand Prix isn’t just about fast cars and checkered flags. It’s a complete travel experience filled with nightlife, food, cultural gems, and some of the best city views in the world. If you're visiting Singapore for the 2025 F1 race, make your trip count by planning your days beyond just the race schedule.

This itinerary is designed for international visitors who want to blend motorsport excitement with everything Singapore has to offer from rooftop dinners to hawker centre bites, and from historic neighbourhoods to luxury transfers.

Pre-Race Day: Arrival and First Impressions (Thursday or Friday Morning)

To make the most of your F1 weekend, it's best to arrive at least a day early. F1-related traffic and hotel check-in queues can get busy, so avoid the rush.

Arrival

Book a private airport transfer with Limo2Go to enjoy a comfortable, stress-free ride from Changi Airport to your hotel. With meet-and-greet service, luggage handling, and flight tracking, your entry into Singapore will be smooth.

Hotel Check-In

Stay near the Marina Bay area if you want to be close to the action. Hotels like Marina Bay Sands, The Fullerton, or Parkroyal Pickering are ideal but pricey.

Afternoon Options

• Walk through Gardens by the Bay, visit the Cloud Forest and Supertree Grove

• Head up to Marina Bay Sands SkyPark for panoramic views

• If you prefer a relaxed start, check out local cafés at Arab Street or go for a short river cruise along Clarke Quay.

Qualifying Day (Saturday)

This is when the F1 buzz peaks, but there’s still time to explore before the engines roar in the evening.

Morning Suggestions

• Enjoy brunch at a stylish café like PS.Café or Common Man Coffee Roasters

• Visit Haji Lane and Kampong Glam for street art, boutique shopping, and Islamic heritage

• For a cultural detour, explore the National Gallery Singapore

Afternoo

• Return to your hotel and rest or enjoy spa time

• Use Limo2Go’s hourly charter service if you’re hopping between locations. This gives you flexibility while avoiding transport stress

Evening

• Make your way to the F1 Qualifying rounds. Arrive early to soak in the pre-race energy

• After the session, head to a rooftop restaurant like Ce La Vi or 1-Altitude for dinner with a view

• Use chauffeur services for pick-up to skip long queues at taxi stands

Race Day (Sunday)

Race day is the highlight of the weekend, but that doesn’t mean you can’t enjoy more of the city before the main event. A well-paced schedule helps you make the most of the day without feeling rushed.

Morning

Start your day with a slow breakfast. Many F1 guests enjoy taking this time to relax at their hotel spa or rooftop pool. If you’re feeling energetic, visit the Singapore Botanic Gardens or Gardens by the bay for a quiet walk in nature.

Afternoon

Explore Little India or Chinatown for a cultural and culinary adventure. These vibrant districts are rich in history and filled with small eateries and colourful streets. Just be mindful of the time and traffic as the afternoon progresses.

Head back to your hotel by 4 or 5 PM to get ready for the race. Public roads begin closing early, and the crowd builds quickly.

Evening 

Use a private chauffeur to reach the Marina Bay Street Circuit comfortably. Your driver will handle the best access routes and drop-off points, avoiding road closures and confusion.

After the race, many visitors attend the post-race concerts or celebrate at nearby nightlife spots like Clarke Quay or rooftop lounges. Having a chauffeur arranged for the night gives you freedom to stay out without worrying about transport.

Post-Race: Wind Down and Departure (Monday)

After the excitement of the weekend, take your Monday morning easy. Many travellers plan for a late checkout or store luggage at the hotel while doing last-minute sightseeing.

Morning or Early Afternoon

Visit Tiong Bahru, a trendy neighbourhood with art deco buildings, boutique shops, and cafés. Or head to Dempsey Hill for brunch in a leafy, upscale enclave.

If your flight is in the evening, stop by Jewel Changi Airport for shopping and dining before your flight. The indoor waterfall and canopy park are great final impressions of Singapore.

Book a return airport transfer with Limo2Go to avoid the taxi queue and arrive at your terminal refreshed and on time.

Must-Try Local Dishes During Your Stay

Food is a big part of the Singapore experience. Don’t leave without trying at least a few of these local favourites:

• Hainanese Chicken Rice at Maxwell Food Centre

• Laksa at Katong

• Chilli Crab at Jumbo Seafood

• Satay at Lau Pa Sat

• Roti Prata with Teh Tarik at any 24-hour Indian-Muslim eatery

You can find these dishes at hawker centres all around the city, or in curated form at restaurants offering elevated local menus.
