Arriving on the night
Raffles Place and City Hall are each about a nine-minute walk — the Raffles Place route crosses the Singapore River on Cavenagh Bridge. Arrive 20–30 minutes early: latecomers are held outside until an interval or a suitable pause.
After the encore
The crowd is small and the surroundings are the best part of the evening: walk the river to Boat Quay or Clarke Quay for a late drink, or cross to the Merlion and the bay. Raffles Place and City Hall stations are both minutes away.
