Singapore has a way of surprising us at every turn, and we're genuinely grateful to call it home. With standout attractions, lively nights out, and a food culture that spoils us for choice, this city is full of places we find ourselves returning to. And we're not keeping any of them to ourselves – these homegrown spots deserve to be celebrated, not hidden.
For this year's Time Out Recommends 2025 list, we've handpicked more than 200 places across the island that we truly love. Expect character-filled boutiques, under-the-radar art spaces, and dining gems of all kinds – from snug neighbourhood cafés to hawkers cooking up hearty, soul food. Keep your eyes peeled for our Time Out Recommends stickers on storefronts around the city: a small nod to the people and places that make Singapore such a vibrant city to explore.
