Walk To Sentosa

There are many different ways you can take to arrive at Sentosa. Here’s some good news. You can walk to get there via Sentosa Boardwalk, which is a stone’s throw away from Vivo City. You can get there by following the directions inside the shopping centre, on the ground floor. 

Cheap and Scenic Route

Walking to Sentosa is probably the cheapest way to get there. The walk does not take long; Sentosa is only around 500 meters away from Vivo City. While walking to your destination, you can also enjoy the scenery and surroundings.  Multiple ferries and the view from Sentosa can be seen throughout your walk on the right side of the pathway too.

You may also appreciate Boardwalk if you enjoy nature. It is lined with a variety of flowering plants and you might just be able to catch a glimpse of bees pollinating the flowers too!

Travellators and Covered Walkway

We also found out that there are a few travellators along Boardwalk so you don’t even need to walk to enjoy the beautiful scenery! Apart from that, Boardwalk is also a covered walkway so that means you will not have to walk directly under the hot sun or in the rain. But despite the many perks we’ve discovered, we were slightly disappointed that not all the travellators were working when we were there.

Not the Best Option for Rainy Days

In short, if you enjoy walking and would like to get to Sentosa the cheapest way, perhaps, Boardwalk is the way to go. However, it may not always be the best option on rainy days since there is still a high chance of you getting wet.
