About this activity

Singapore hosts the the only F1 night race where a tropical downpour is a genuine possibility every session, and the only venue where a monitor lizard once triggered a red flag. On this self-guided audio tour, you'll follow the Marina Bay Street Circuit route through Singapore's civic and colonial core. The tour starts at Promenade MRT Exit A and follows the anticlockwise circuit route along Raffles Boulevard. You'll walk past luxury hotels, waterfront promenades, and colonial-era civic buildings – before crossing Anderson Bridge, a 1910 structure so narrow it determined the direction of the entire circuit. Along the way, you'll hear how a deliberate crash in the 2008 inaugural race handed Fernando Alonso a victory and triggered F1's most serious race-fixing scandal in decades. The tour ends at the ArtScience Museum, where a single vantage point gives you a panoramic view across Marina Bay of the circuit's entire final third.

Itinerary

Suntec City

Passing by

Pass the vast Suntec City complex, one of Singapore's largest mixed-use developments, which sits just inside the outer edge of the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Notice how the F1 barriers transform these everyday urban surroundings into a high-speed racing corridor each September.
War Memorial Park - Singapore

Passing by

Walk through this open civic space dominated by the four towering white columns of the Civilian War Memorial, honouring the tens of thousands of civilians who died during the Japanese occupation. Experience how the park sits quietly alongside one of the world's most glamorous racing venues, its solemnity a striking contrast to the spectacle of race weekend.
Stop 3

Passing by

Marvel at this gleaming white Gothic Revival cathedral, one of Singapore's oldest and best-preserved colonial-era buildings, which sits just metres from the circuit route. Discover how this 19th-century place of worship has watched the city transform from British colonial outpost to one of Asia's most dynamic metropolises.
National Gallery Singapore

Passing by

Admire the striking colonnade of the National Gallery, housed within the restored former Supreme Court and City Hall buildings that once formed the administrative heart of colonial Singapore. Stroll past a building where the Japanese surrender of Singapore was signed in 1945 and where F1 cars now thunder past at racing speed.
Anderson Bridge

Passing by

Cross the elegant 1910 steel bridge whose narrow span determined the entire direction of the Marina Bay Street Circuit. Learn how a structure built for horse-drawn carriages and early motorcars now forces the world's fastest racing machines to thread through its arches in single file.
Merlion Park

Passing by

Stand before Singapore's most iconic landmark, the half-lion half-fish Merlion statue gazing out across Marina Bay toward the glittering skyline. Experience the spot where race fans gather each September to watch F1 cars sweep past on Esplanade Drive with the illuminated city as a backdrop.
Singapore Flyer

Passing by

Look up at one of the world's largest observation wheels, which looms over the circuit's eastern section and offers race weekend spectators an aerial view of the entire Marina Bay layout. Discover how the Flyer became an unlikely landmark in F1's most visually spectacular venue.
ArtScience Museum

Passing by

Arrive at the lotus-shaped ArtScience Museum and turn to take in the panoramic view across Marina Bay, where the circuit's entire final third stretches out before you. Reflect on how this single vantage point captures the extraordinary spectacle of F1 cars racing through a living city at night.
