TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - While Indonesian tourists typically visit Singapore to experience its beauty during the day, the city-state's nightlife is equally captivating.
Singapore has its own unique charm and offers a variety of attractions, including historical and cultural sites and culinary delights. Exploring Singapore at night offers a different experience and is more comfortable than exploring during the hotter daytime hours.
4 Ways to Enjoy Singapore’s Nightlife
Here are some of the best ways to experience Singapore's nightlife.
1. Experience the vibrant city through lights and music
According to Travel and Leisure Asia, begin your evening at Gardens by the Bay for the Garden Rhapsody show, which takes place at 7:45 and 8:45 p.m. local time. Hundreds of lights twinkle among the artificial trees in the Supertree Grove, dancing to the music. The serene nighttime atmosphere combines with the sparkling lights to create a magical contrast with the majestic city skyline.
Another option is the Singapore River Cruise, as recommended by Secret Singapore. Tourists can cruise along the river and witness iconic landmarks and sparkling lights that add to the vibrant nightlife. The 40-minute journey includes the Singapore River Pier and starts at Clarke Quay Pier, passing various attractions along the way. This entertaining and educational cruise includes a live guide, and you have the option of adding a delicious meal while you admire the city's nighttime atmosphere.
2. Hunt for local cuisine
From Gardens by the Bay, continue to Chinatown, a vibrant area that stays lively late into the night. Try Lian He Ben Ji Claypot, a Bib Gourmand restaurant renowned for its claypot rice with various toppings. Enjoy your hearty meal while strolling along the ethnic streets adjacent to the iconic Buddha Tooth Relic Temple.
Not far away, the Lau Pa Sat Hawker Center tempts late-night foodies. In particular, Satay Street mingles the aroma of grilled satay over charcoal with the laughter and chatter of customers. The dim yellow lights and relaxed atmosphere create the feeling of a never-ending culinary feast.
3. 24-Hour Spa
When you're feeling fatigued, visit g.Spa Singapore. This 24-hour spa offers hot tubs, saunas, and relaxation rooms. Here, you can restore your body and mind before morning arrives. Some tourists even choose to soak until the early hours, enjoying the peace and quiet of a city that hasn't fully woken up yet.
This is one of the best places to explore Singapore's bar scene. You'll find plenty of exciting bars and restaurants along the waterfront in the Central Business District (CBD). Enjoy refreshing drinks, late-night clubbing, and al fresco dining before enjoying your drinks. It's also a great place to meet locals and tourists, as most establishments are open until 3 a.m. on weekends.
4. Greet the dawn at the Mandai Boardwalk
After exploring Singapore at night, take time to visit Mandai Boardwalk. As the sky turns orange, the lake sparkles, and the morning air brings a sense of calm after a night of adventure. Dawn in Singapore is even more beautiful when witnessed after a colorful night.
