Singapore and Hong Kong with a Grand Park City Hall Stay and Macau Day Trip

Day 1 · Sat, Oct 31
Singapore

Arrive in Singapore

  1. Changi Airport to Grand Park City Hall — City Hall; transfer in, check in and take time to recover after the flight — arrival, allow ~1–2 hours after landing for airport formalities and the ride.
  2. Lau Pa Sat — Downtown Core; choose from a wide range of local hawker dishes for an easy first meal — lunch or early dinner, ~1 hour.
  3. Merlion Park — Marina Bay; take in the waterfront and skyline views — late afternoon, ~30–45 minutes.
  4. Marina Bay waterfront promenade — Marina Bay; enjoy a gentle, level evening walk at your own pace — evening, up to ~45 minutes.

Arrival and lunch

From Changi Airport, allow around 1–2 hours after landing for immigration, baggage and the transfer to Grand Park City Hall. A taxi or ride-hail is the simplest option with luggage; the drive is often about 20–40 minutes, depending on traffic. The hotel is near City Hall MRT, but the train is less convenient with bags. Check in, have a rest and keep the first outing flexible.

For a first meal, head to Lau Pa Sat in the Downtown Core. A taxi or ride-hail is a straightforward ride; on foot, allow roughly 20–25 minutes in the heat. Hawker dishes commonly cost around S$5–15 per person. Stall schedules vary, so treat this as an easy option rather than planning around a particular stall.

Late afternoon and evening

From Lau Pa Sat, continue to Merlion Park by taxi or ride-hail, or walk for roughly 20–25 minutes if the weather feels comfortable. Give yourselves around 30–45 minutes for the bay views and photos, then stroll a stretch of the Marina Bay waterfront promenade—the route is mostly level, with places to pause. If you’re tired or it’s raining, shorten the walk and take a taxi back to the hotel. Bring water; the humidity can feel tiring even in the evening.

Day 2 · Sun, Nov 1
Singapore

Singapore stay

  1. Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple (Little India) — See one of Little India’s most richly decorated Hindu temples and its lively surroundings — morning, ~45 minutes.
  2. Tekka Centre (Little India) — Browse the market and choose from Indian, Malay and other hawker dishes for lunch — late morning to lunch, ~1 hour.
  3. Indian Heritage Centre (Little India) — Explore the history and culture of Singapore’s Indian communities — afternoon, ~1–1.5 hours; check current hours and admission before visiting.
  4. Mustafa Centre (Little India) — Wander through the famously broad selection of shops, groceries and goods — late afternoon, ~45 minutes.

Morning

From Grand Park City Hall Hotel, take the MRT from City Hall to Little India, changing at Dhoby Ghaut, or use a taxi or ride-hail if you’d rather avoid station walks. Allow roughly 20–30 minutes door to door by MRT. Start at Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple; remove your shoes before entering, dress modestly and keep voices low if worship is underway. Sunday can be busy, so allow a little extra time.

Lunch and afternoon

Walk to Tekka Centre for a casual hawker lunch, budgeting about S$5–15 per person. It can be crowded around lunchtime, so find a table before ordering; stall hours vary. After lunch, visit the nearby Indian Heritage Centre for about 1–1½ hours. Check its current Sunday hours and admission information before setting out.

Finish at Mustafa Centre. It’s a short walk from the heritage centre, and a 45-minute browse is enough to take in the vast range of shops. Return to the hotel by MRT or taxi; walking between Little India stops is straightforward, but use the MRT for the ride back if the heat or rain sets in.

Day 3 · Mon, Nov 2
Singapore

Singapore stay

  1. Grand Park City Hall Hotel (Civic District) — Take a relaxed morning at your hotel, handy for central Singapore’s museums and historic quarter — morning, at your own pace.
  2. Asian Civilisations Museum (Empress Place) — Explore the region’s cultures in a riverside museum a short ride or walk from the hotel — late morning, ~1.5–2 hours.
  3. Boat Quay (Singapore River) — Enjoy a riverside lunch and a breather before the afternoon — lunch, ~1–1.5 hours.
  4. Fort Canning Park (Civic District) — Wander the shaded paths and historic grounds, with the option to keep the walk short — afternoon, ~1–1.5 hours.

Morning

Since you’re staying at Grand Park City Hall Hotel, there’s no need to spend the morning crossing town. Take it easy, then head to Asian Civilisations Museum at Empress Place. It’s roughly a 15–20-minute walk from the hotel, or a short taxi ride; allow about 1.5–2 hours. Check the museum’s current Monday opening hours and admission details before setting out.

Lunch

Walk along the river to Boat Quay for lunch, choosing from the many restaurants lining the waterfront. Allow around S$20–40 per person for a meal, depending on your choice. It’s an easy place to slow down and enjoy the river before continuing.

Afternoon

From Boat Quay, walk or take a short ride to Fort Canning Park. Explore at a comfortable pace on its shaded paths; the park has slopes and stairs, so you can keep the visit brief if it’s warm or your legs are tired. Bring water, and use a taxi or ride-hail back to the hotel if you’d rather skip the walk back.

Day 4 · Tue, Nov 3
Singapore

Singapore stay

The ride across to Sentosa and time at the stations should take about an hour altogether.

Late morning and afternoon

Continue to Fort Siloso to see its coastal defences and wartime exhibits; allow around 1½ hours. Check its official visitor information for current opening arrangements before travelling. From there, head to Tanjong Beach for a change of pace. It’s exposed and can be hot, so bring water and sun protection; a short stroll or a sit by the water is enough to make this a restful stop.

Evening

Take a taxi or ride-hail from the beach to VivoCity, allowing roughly 15–25 minutes depending on traffic. Have dinner there, with plenty of choices and a typical budget of about S$15–35 per person. For the return, HarbourFront MRT is beside the mall; take the MRT toward City Hall and walk back to Grand Park City Hall Hotel. Public transport is straightforward, but allow extra time for the station walk and connections.

Day 5 · Wed, Nov 4
Singapore

Final night in Singapore

Begin at Sultan Mosque, allowing around 45 minutes. Visitor access may pause for prayers, so check its current visiting arrangements before setting out and dress modestly.

Late morning

Walk a few minutes to the Malay Heritage Centre. Its galleries and opening arrangements can change, so check current hours and admission details before you go; if it is open, allow about 1–1.5 hours. Continue on foot to Haji Lane to browse the small shops and murals, with time to take a break if you wish.

Lunch and return

Finish at Zam Zam Restaurant, a well-known spot for murtabak. Budget around S$10–20 per person and allow extra time if there is a lunch queue. Afterward, return to Grand Park City Hall Hotel by taxi or retrace your route via Bugis MRT; leave roughly 25–35 minutes for the trip back.

Day 6 · Thu, Nov 5
Hong Kong

Fly to Hong Kong

Getting there from Singapore
Direct flight (about 4 hours; roughly S$150–500 one way). Compare Singapore Airlines, Cathay Pacific, Scoot and HK Express on Google Flights, then book with the airline. Choose a morning or early-afternoon departure to leave time for the evening in Hong Kong; allow about 7–9 hours door to door.

  2. Kerry Hotel Hong Kong (Hung Hom) — Check in, unpack and take a proper rest after travelling; ~1–2 hours, flexible.
  3. Hung Hom waterfront promenade (Hung Hom) — Take an easy harborfront stroll close to the hotel, with room to stop and enjoy the views; ~30–60 minutes.
  4. Temple Street Night Market (Jordan) — Browse the evening stalls and have a casual dinner nearby if you’re feeling up to it; ~1–2 hours.

Flight and arrival

Allow roughly 7–9 hours door to door from Singapore: hotel-to-airport travel, check-in and security, the flight, Hong Kong immigration and baggage collection, then the transfer to Kerry Hotel Hong Kong in Hung Hom. The flight itself is about four hours, but the total depends on your departure time and airport waits. From Hong Kong International Airport, a taxi is the most straightforward option with luggage; the Airport Express plus onward taxi or public transport is another choice. Confirm your flight and transfer details before setting the evening plan.

Settle in by the harbor

Check in, unpack and rest before deciding whether to go out. If you’re feeling refreshed, take a gentle walk along the Hung Hom waterfront promenade, right by the hotel, and enjoy the harbor views without committing to a long outing. Keep the walk short if the travel day has caught up with you.

Optional dinner and market browse

If you have the energy, take a taxi or use public transport to Temple Street Night Market in Jordan for a browse and casual dinner nearby. Allow around HK$100–250 per person for a simple meal, depending on what you choose. Market activity varies by stall and evening, so treat this as optional; dinner close to the hotel and an early night are just as good a start to your seven-night Hong Kong stay.

Day 7 · Fri, Nov 6

For both venues, check current exhibition and opening information before setting out.

Lunch and the return

Take a taxi to A Lorcha, near A-Ma Temple, for lunch; budget about MOP 150–300 per person and consider reserving for Sunday. After lunch, visit A-Ma Temple for around 45 minutes, keeping voices low and being considerate of people praying.

Take a taxi back to the ferry terminal and leave a generous buffer for traffic, check-in and Hong Kong immigration.
