The Singapore Grand Prix is a dream event for motorsport enthusiasts in the Southeast Asian region, so it’s no surprise that the city comes to life in September with all manner of events that amp up the excitement with each passing day. Here are 5 ways in which you can make the most of your F1 weekend in the Lion City.
Although the much-anticipated Grand Prix event comes to a climax in early October, the festivities and celebrations in honour of the event take place throughout September. This is why it’s a good idea to book an extended stay that covers the few days leading up to the grand day. It gives you plenty of time to take in the thrilling sights, events and atmosphere in the city, allowing you to enjoy a full experience of just how exciting the Singapore Grand Prix is.
One thing you can be sure of is that the Singapore Grand Prix brings with it a fantastic lineup of musical acts that are scheduled throughout the weekend. This way, attendees can enjoy an ultimate mashup of racetrack thrills and unforgettable performances. Singapore’s Grand Prix event for 2025 has already confirmed a stunning group of international artists who are set to perform. This includes the likes of Elton John, The Smashing Pumpkins, Foo Fighters, and G-Dragon, so you definitely shouldn’t miss out!
While the theme of F1 racing is likely to be all the rage during the month, make sure you save time to explore some of Singapore’s more local attractions, especially if you’re visiting for the first time. Hotspots like Gardens by the Bay, Little India, Chinatown and the Singapore Flyer are all spectacular attractions accessible from nearby hotels like Grand Park City Hall. Visiting these hotspots will help balance out the F1 hype with some casual cultural exploring, allowing you to enjoy the best of both worlds.
Another great aspect of Singapore’s F1 season you shouldn’t miss is the vibrant nightlife that takes on a whole new character in anticipation of the grand race. Apart from the aforementioned musical performances, Singapore’s nightlife scene comes to life with unique F1-themed parties and events. Whether you decide to explore closer to the race track at Marina Bay or venture to other hotspots at Clark Quay, you can explore a range of events from go-kart races to exhibitions and race-themed dining events. Many of these hotspots and events are accessible if you’re staying at a hotel near MRT Singapore, which you can use to reach many known hotspots in the city.
There’s no way you can enjoy the Singapore Grand Prix weekend without snapping a few pictures of the exciting moments at the main event- and there are certainly plenty of them to capture! The iconic Marina Bay circuit has some of the most challenging features of any race track, so capturing a few shots of the race cars as they navigate tight turns and bumpy surfaces will be worth the effort. You can also capture the circuit against some of the city’s more iconic highlights like the Singapore Flyer, Esplanade Drive and Anderson Bridge.
