2. Merlion Park

3. Tanjong Rhu Promenade
Want a more secluded spot to ring in the new year? Tanjong Rhu Promenade is a place as good as any to watch the fireworks from a tall lookout tower. There’s even a suspension bridge for those feeling extra adventurous. We say it’s worth conquering your fear of heights for those fabulous views.

4. Marina Barrage
One of the most popular spots to picnic and catch fireworks at the same time is Marina Barrage. If you want to snag a comfortable spot, go early, as there’ll be plenty of fellow revellers camping here for the best views. All things considered, there’s nothing like feeling the night breeze in your hair and winding down the year in comfort with your loved ones!

5. Esplanade Rooftop Terrace
For those extra particular about the view, you’ll get an unobstructed fireworks show at the Esplanade Rooftop Terrace. It is a lot closer to the fireworks, given its height, and you can hit up one of the many bars and restaurants beforehand for a fun celebratory meal.

6. Esplanade Park
If sitting by the riverbank and watching the fireworks is your idea of an ideal countdown, look no further than Esplanade Park! You can stretch out on the grassy area or lounge by the waterfront as you look back on the memories made in 2022 with friends or family — and don’t forget to pack a picnic basket with you.

9. Smoke & Mirrors
Perched on the rooftop of the National Gallery, Smoke & Mirrors is a unique cocktail bar best known for its spectacular panoramic views of Singapore’s skyline and creative cocktails.
Given its location, it’s the perfect place for a celebratory meal, in the form of a package for two (S$1088) that includes the likes of oysters, tacos, and tempura, amongst other decadent dishes, as well as free-flow drinks like cocktails, spirits (vodka, gin, and other classics) all throughout the countdown. The best part? You’ll be treated to an unparalleled view of the fireworks!

10. Golden Mile Tower Carpark
Sometimes, the best views are hidden in plain sight, and that rings true at the Golden Mile Tower Carpark, which offers a panoramic open-air view of the fireworks. Spots here are limited, so you’re better off heading to the top floor of the open-air carpark hours before the actual countdown.
???? 6001 Beach Rd, Singapore 199589
