Beyond the tourist hotspots and lively local tours, exciting lifestyle and F&B offerings await. Read on to discover the most-loved experiences and delectable dining choices included in Go City’s sightseeing passes that you shouldn’t miss on your next visit to these five APAC cities.
Bangkok
Planning a visit to Bangkok for Songkran festival in April? Here are some recommendations on what you can experience with the Go City pass.
After a long day exploring the city, treat yourself to a delightful dinner aboard the Meridian Dinner Cruise, where you can enjoy a gourmet feast while taking in the magnificent views of Bangkok’s evening skyline. Sailing along the Chao Phraya River, you’ll be treated to a traditional Thai dance show and memorable views of temples like Wat Arun, the pyramidal, Chinese porcelain and glass-covered temple that towers 70 metres above the river.
After the two-hour dinner cruise, check out GenZ Bar & Bistro or Zoom Rooftop Bar to wind down with complimentary drinks, plus views of Bangkok glittering in a sea of lights.
For those interested in traditional Thai food, you can join a Thai cooking class with Pink Chili Cookery School or Tingly Thai Cooking School. These schools will teach you everything from choosing fresh ingredients at the local market to knocking up your own curry paste tailored to your heat tolerance. After this four-hour master class, you’ll know how to make coconut soups, papaya salad, red curry, tamarind prawns, and sticky rice topped with sweet mango and coconut milk.
If you prefer to skip the cooking chores, consider joining a Bangkok Food Tour, where you can sample Thai and Chinese street food. Stroll through the streets of Chinatown and slurp a glass noodle soup or munch on crispy fish cakes as your tour guide lets you in on Thailand’s foodie secrets.
Craving relaxation after indulging in Thailand’s culinary delights? Drift into deep relaxation at Let’s Relax Spa, where soothing Thai and oil massages and an onsen with hot stone bed baths and mineral pools await. Do your muscles hurt? Jump into the sauna and glass-walled steam room.
Seoul
March and April mark the peak tourist season in Seoul, drawing international tourists to witness the Cherry Blossom season. For a picturesque OOTD, consider renting traditional Korean Hanboks from costume rental shops near the palaces, or try on high-school uniforms at Ewha School Uniform Rental near Lotte World. Then, venture out to capture stunning photos with the Cherry Blossoms as your backdrop.
For those seeking to venture outside of the Seoul city centre, you will find it convenient to visit Everland with the round-trip shuttle bus service to the theme park. Nami Island, made famous by the popular K-drama Winter Sonata, is another must-visit destination. Go City customers can utilize the shuttle bus service from Seoul to Nami Island, followed by taking a five-minute ferry ride (including entry fee) to immerse themselves in a day of lush greenery on the island oasis.
Just as useful as the round-trip shuttle bus services to Everland and Nami Island is the WOWPASS, a cashless prepaid card you can use for currency exchange, cashless payments, and public transport – from buses and taxis to subways. You can request for the card via Go City’s booking portal and collect the WOWPASS from kiosk or machine in the city, simply by keying in the voucher code provided in the email.
Singapore
If the Mandai Wildlife Reserve is on your itinerary, be sure to head to Pavilion Banana Leaf, a casual, tropical-themed dining restaurant that blends well with the exotic Bird Paradise that surrounds it. Here, you can tuck into vegetarian and non-vegetarian dishes like chicken Chettinad – cuisine of the Chettinad region of Tamil Nadu, which Go City’s Singapore pass includes.
Speaking of food, why not join a Michelin and Local Hawker Food Tour that will give you a flavour of Singapore’s unique street food and hawker culture? On this 3.5-hour tour, you get to indulge in the best Michelin Guide food and other popular hawker food stalls right in the heart of Chinatown. As you sample each dish, your guide will also be sharing amazing tales about Singapore’s hawker culture and give you in-depth insights into the foods. This food tour is a definite for all adventurous, culture-loving foodies!
If you’re concluding your sightseeing journey in the city, don’t forget to redeem a complimentary Singapore sling, the city state’s national drink, at Raffles Courtyard’s Long Bar, where this iconic Benedictine- and curaçao-based cocktail was invented in 1915. With Go City’s Singapore pass, you can also enjoy a 15% discount at Raffles Boutique and Osteria BBR by Alain Ducasse, plus a discount of the same amount on a 90-minute treatment at Raffles Spa.
For those spending a day in Sentosa Island, you can treat yourself and your loved ones to a premium dining experience aboard the Royal Albatross Sunset Dinner Cruise. You can redeem the SGD125 voucher when you purchase the cruise ticket with seven-course dinner with Royal Albatross. Set sail when the sun dips below the horizon and feel the wind in your hair as you enjoy a seven-course meal, cocktails, and live entertainment on this unforgettable cruise around Sentosa Island.
Lastly, don’t forget to take home a 12-piece pineapple tart from Kele Singapore, a buttery Singaporean pastry that’ll satisfy even the sweetest tooth. You can claim these pineapple tarts from either Kele’s Chinatown Flagship Store or the Kele Jewel Concept Store at Changi Airport, making it an ideal souvenir to share with your loved ones back home.
Hong Kong
Go City’s new F&B attraction in Hong Kong is a dim sum set at Serenade Chinese Restaurant, which overlooks the harbour. Serenade specialises in unique twists on Cantonese classics. Among others, the set includes steamed crystal shrimp and pork dumplings with crab roe, a custard cream bun, and crispy barbecued spring rolls with shredded chicken.
Chinese delicacies are also available at Peking Garden’s Tsim Sha Tsui restaurant. As the restaurant’s name suggests, this is the place for the Peking duck that bursts with flavour and has a crispy skin. Go City’s Hong Kong pass includes not just the juicy duck but also an eight-course set menu. You can enjoy other sumptuous dishes such as deep-fried prawn in chilli sauce, chilled sago cream with mango puree and pomelo, and Peking fried noodles with shredded pork included in the set menu – a perfect feast to enjoy while exploring Hong Kong.
Sydney
When you plan your next visit to Sydney, consider embarking on the Sydney Sunset (Twilight) Cruise for a breathtaking sunset view along Sydney Harbour combined with a delectable three-course dinner using Go City’s Sydney pass. Cruise under the starry night sky and enjoy a unique perspective of the Opera House, while indulging in your preferred meal option, whether it’s vegetarian, non-vegetarian, or a delightful cheese platter.
In a city as big as Sydney, Go City’s sightseeing pass scores with attractions galore. On the F&B side, wine tasting with locally sourced cheese and charcuterie at Urban Winery Sydney is a must-do for any wine lover. Taste some of the state’s best wines and learn about the wine varietals in the wider region. You’ll get a self-guided tasting book, which will help you identify six different wines.
Using the Sydney pass, you can also put your skills to the test on a surfboard. The Go City benefit includes a two-hour surfboard and wetsuit rental from Let’s Go Surfing at Bondi Beach, one of the most popular surfing spots in Sydney.
Adrenaline junkies will get their money’s worth on the Sydney Jet Thrill Ride. Whizzing across the water at 80km/h while your jet does stunts, you’ll be catapulted into 270-degree spins. Ride waves, slide, and hold on tight during power break stops.
