The Singapore Grand Prix is revving up this weekend from 20 to 22 September 2019. For some, it is going to be a weekend of fast cars, thrills and musical concerts with acts like Gwen Stefani, Muse and Red Hot Chilli Peppers. For others looking for things to do over the F1 weekend 2019 in Singapore, the Marina Bay area will be a no-go since there will be road closures and limited access to some areas.
So, what is there to do from 20 to 22 September 2019? We’ve come up with some suggestions of things to do over the F1 Weekend 2019 in Singapore.

An Old New World

Take a journey back in time to the 200 years BEFORE Raffles’ arrival in Singapore and learn how the worlds of the Europeans and local inhabitants of the “East Indies” collided.

This offer is available through advance purchase through the One Faber Group online store.
Frank Food Market

Music in the Park

Check Out Paya Lebar Quarter
Embrace Singapore’s love affair with shopping malls by visiting Paya Lebar Quarter.
