About this experience

Experience Singapore’s festive sparkle on the Big Bus Christmas Light-Up Tour, available on selected nights from 22 Nov to 23 Dec. Departing from the BIG BUS & DUCK Tourist Hub at Suntec City, you’ll ride an open-top, double-decker bus with recorded English commentary, passing landmarks like the Singapore Flyer, City Hall, and Fort Canning.

As we approach Tanglin Road, Orchard Road transforms into a dazzling wonderland with Christmas on A Great Street, featuring brilliant lights, themed displays, the 14-metre Mastercard Christmas Tree with snowfall, popular photo spots including Santa’s Trishaw Sleigh, the Glittering Archway, and the Magical Dragon Playground, plus two Great Christmas Villages, and a 3D projection show at Hilton Singapore Orchard.
