What is a Singapore stopover?
A Singapore stopover is a planned break in your journey that lets you spend time in Singapore before heading to your final destination. Unlike a quick layover, a stopover can last from 24 hours to several day, giving you time to explore the city without booking a separate trip.
It’s like adding a mini holiday to your travel plan. Perfect for breaking up long-haul flights, stopovers let you rest, recharge and experience somewhere new along the way.
Some airlines offer special stopover programs to make this easier. Singapore Airlines, for example, runs the Singapore Stopover Holiday - a package with hotel stays and city experiences for passengers transiting through the city.
Adding a stopover is ideal if:
- You’re flying long haul and want a break mid-journey
- You’ve never been to Singapore and want a quick taste of it
- Your airline offers special fares or perks for stopovers
Best of all, it can often be added to your flight plan at little or no extra cost!
Things to do on a Singapore stopover
Even with just a few hours, Singapore is a brilliant place to explore. From iconic landmarks to incredible food, there’s plenty to pack into a short stay. Here are some top picks:
Gardens by the Bay
See the towering Supertrees, walk through the Cloud Forest and Flower Dome, and catch the Spectra light show in the evening. It’s a one-of-a-kind experience and perfect if you love nature or want something different.
Marina Bay Sands SkyPark
Head up 57 floors for sweeping views of the city skyline. From the SkyPark, you can spot Gardens by the Bay, the Supertree Grove and more. There’s also an infinity pool - although it's only for hotel guests, it’s still worth seeing.
Chinatown
Explore temples like the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, browse buzzing street markets, and enjoy traditional Chinese dishes. It’s a great spot for souvenirs and authentic local food.
