Hop-on/Hop-off: Places of interest

Singapore has many fascinating sights to offer. You can reach most of them on a city tour with the hop-on hop-off bus:

  • Marina Bay Sands
  • China Town, Little India and Arab Street
  • Gardens by the Bay
  • Singapore River
  • Singapore Flyer
  • National Museum of Singapore
  • Merlion Park
  • Art Science Museum
  • Singapore Botanic Gardens

Simply get off at the nearest stop, visit an attraction and then continue your journey. Not every attraction has a stop with the same name and the city is very extensive. You should therefore plan to walk a few minutes from the stop to the attraction.

Is a Singapore city tour worthwhile?

Singapore has a wealth of sights and interesting neighbourhoods to offer and is also a sprawling city. This can sometimes make sightseeing a challenge. The well-organised system of hop-on hop-off buses with various routes and numerous stops therefore offers a convenient and flexible way to explore the city.

Thanks to the flexible transport system, you can organise your itinerary to suit your individual wishes. With the option to hop on and off at different stops, you can explore the sights of Singapore at your own pace. You benefit from regular timetables and well-coordinated routes and don't have to worry about organising suitable transport.

The hop-on hop-off bus also offers first-class panoramic views of Singapore's landmarks. From the glittering skyscrapers of Marina Bay to the historic charm of Chinatown, the elevated position on the bus allows guests to fully appreciate the city's fascinating architecture and contrasting landscape.

All in all, the hop-on hop-off bus tour in Singapore offers a convenient, flexible and informative way to explore the beauty and diversity of this fascinating city. It is the ideal option for travellers who want to make the most of their time in Singapore without spending a lot of time planning and organising.
