Watch the Formula One Races Live
The second half of September every year brings Marina Bay to a near-standstill, as the Formula One Grand Prix arrives on Singapore’s streets. And we mean that literally—the Singapore Formula One race is the only night race in the Formula One calendar and is held right on Marina Bay’s own roads.
Singapore’s Marina Bay circuit is 3.14 miles long, adding up to a total length of 192 miles when all 61 laps are accounted for, taking drivers through some of the country's best tourist spots and right past the Formula One pit building. Not all the rave reviews come from spectators—as F1 champion Lewis Hamilton once commented on the local race, "the track is fantastic, the fans here are amazing, and they put on a great show here in Singapore."

Go Marina Bay Museum Hopping
Marina Bay preserves Asia’s past and present through two establishments in particular: the ArtScience Museum and the Asian Civilisations Museum. The ArtScience Museum is located in a lotus-like structure set apart from the rest of the Marina Bay Sands complex, right on the bay. Inside, exhibits are set in 64,500 square feet of gallery space over three floors.
The Asian Civilisations Museum unravels Asia’s cultural threads in a series of interactive displays—the fact that you can’t see the whole thing in a single visit says a lot about the region’s cultural diversity! Themed exhibits take visitors through ethnographic tours of China, South Asia, West Asia, and Southeast Asia, helped along with authentic artifacts from each culture, such as a Chinese snuffbox, a sword collection, Chinese pottery recovered from a shipwreck, and an ancient Buddha statue.
