Anyone who claims Singapore is boring just isn’t looking in the right places. Sure, we’re a compact city, but there’s always something new popping up – you just need to know where to poke around. And while iconic spots like Gardens by the Bay absolutely deserve their global fame, we’re just as excited about the smaller, homegrown venues that give the city its real personality.
From a street chess collective and plastic recycling studio to sprawling wildlife reserves and shopping meccas in converted schools, these are the standout spots that earned a place on our Time Out Singapore Recommends 2025 list – each one handpicked by our team.
