Whoever says that there’s nothing to do in Singapore clearly isn’t trying hard enough. Although small, our island city is brimming with new things to do every month – you just have to know where to look. We’re not just talking about the usual tourist attractions like Gardens by the Bay, mind you. Although such places are definitely worthy of their world-famous status, we also love diving deeper to uncover the best of smaller, local establishments that make up the heart and soul of Singapore.
From a tattoo art jamming studio to hidden bookstores and an axe-throwing facility, here are the venues that have made our list of Time Out Singapore Recommended Things To Do for 2025, all personally approved by our team.
