Tired of having to jab your way through throngs of tourists just to take that perfect sunset picture of the Merlion? Then head on out to the Empress Place Building, instead. It’s a historical building located at the northern bank of the Singapore River, it now serves as a museum. With plenty of space around, you’re sure to enjoy the reprieve from milling tourists and too many crowds.

4. Bukit Batok Nature Park

You’ve been to the gardens near the marina bay. You’ve seen the supertrees, the awesome waterfalls in other sections. But you want to see more. Then you and the entire gang should come by the Bukit Batok Nature Park. It’s easy to spot because it’s just across the Bukit Batok New Town. Prepare to see some wildlife and marine creatures on this trip.

5. Mount Faber

Ever ridden a cable car before? If you haven’t, then go to Mt. Faber. Have a cable car take you there. It’s killing two birds with one stone: you get to bop over to somewhere new and experience your first cable car ride too!
