Think you know Singapore? Here are 5 unique activities that will make you see the Lion City in a whole new light.

Singapore isn’t just about Gardens by the Bay or Marina Bay Sands. Here are five uncommon, surprising things you can do:

  • 1. Rent a Friend: Like in Japan, Singapore has platforms like RentBabe that let you hire a local companion for anything from cafĆ© hopping to exploring hidden nightlife.
  • 2. Party at Drip Club: Skip tourist-packed clubs like Marquee or Zouk—Drip is where Gen Z locals hang out, dance, and socialise.
  • 3. Hike the Dover Clementi Forest Loop: A hidden, lush trail right in the city with streams, wildlife, and peaceful greenery.
  • 4. Explore Parklane Mall & Orchard Plaza: Discover Singapore’s discreet red-light scene tucked inside two unassuming Orchard Road buildings.
  • 5. Night Cycling in Punggol: Enjoy breezy waterfront rides past Punggol Waterway Park and Coney Island under the moonlight.

From late-night adventures to hidden nature trails, Singapore has plenty of surprises beyond the usual tourist spots. Try these activities next time you’re in town and see a different side of the city.
