Art across the bay

From the first station to the final station; travel to and from your hotel is excluded.

Explore selected fine-art and technology-art galleries, then finish outdoors in the gardens.

This route connects National Gallery Singapore, ArtScience Museum, Gardens by the Bay outdoor gardens.

National Gallery Singapore

Discover Singapore and Southeast Asian art in the former City Hall and Supreme Court buildings.

Station code: NS25

Start with the building, then choose one exhibition theme to explore. The scale of the former civic buildings offers a second thread alongside the artworks themselves.

Do not make seeing every gallery the goal of a first visit. Choose a priority section and leave time to sit; check access and ticket requirements for temporary exhibitions separately.

Suggested visit allowance: 120–145 minutes

Official visitor and transport information — National Gallery Singapore

ArtScience Museum

Art and technology exhibitions inside the lotus-shaped museum; check exhibition tickets and entry slots.

Station code: DT16

Separate the architecture from the exhibition visit: enjoy the lotus form from the bay, then choose a show that interests you instead of attempting every exhibition.

Use your booked entry slot to anchor this stop. If suitable slots are unavailable, keep the waterfront and exterior walk and save the galleries for another day.

Suggested visit allowance: 100–120 minutes

Official visitor and transport information — ArtScience Museum

Gardens by the Bay outdoor gardens

Explore lakeside paths and the Supertrees; this stop excludes paid aerial walks and conservatories.

Station code: DT16

Slow down here: start with a lakeside stretch and use the Supertrees as your walking destination, noticing how planting and built structures shape the garden.

An outdoor walk and a paid attraction visit need different budgets. This route allows for the ground-level gardens; add time and check tickets separately for an aerial walk.

Suggested visit allowance: 60–75 minutes
