Bugis Street is one of the most prominent areas for shopping in Singapore. This shopping district boasts of fine dining and trendy cafes and bars, which stays open from day to night!

If you are planning to visit Bugis Street Market, we recommend these five fun activities to discover not just the sumptuous food but also Singapore’s vast array of cultures:

1. Entertain Your Inner Child at the MINT Museum of Toys

If you love toys, then the MINT Museum in Bugis is the place to be. This museum houses an extensive collection of interesting collectibles.

The collection, which has about 50,000 items, includes items made in the mid-19th to mid-20th Century. The origins of these vintage toys can be traced to 40 countries.

If you enjoy yourself there, then it’s thanks to Chang Yang Fa. He is the founder of this museum, which happens to be the first purpose-built toy museum in the world. And when your tour is complete, you can recharge at the restaurant and wine bar within the museum.

2. Have a Reflective Time at the Armenian Church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator

The Armenian Church of Saint Gregory the Illuminator is popularly referred to by its shorter name: The Armenian Church. It is rich in history since it happens to be the oldest Christian church in Singapore. It also became the first Singaporean building to have electricity.

The church was completed in 1835 and designated as a national monument in 1973. It features beautiful neoclassical architecture that is worth seeing up close. The memorial garden within the church compound is a calm and tranquil place that allows you to take a moment or two to reflect on all spiritual matters.

There is always the option of booking a ticket to a concert held in the church. It’s an excellent way to see the place while enjoying wonderful and soothing music.

3. Learn New Things at the National Library in Bugis

The National Library is the flagship building of the Singaporean National Library Board. It is easily accessible from Bugis MRT Station. This 16-story building is the place to be if you would rather just sit in a quiet place and seek knowledge.

You may also be able to visit on a day when there is an exhibition on the ground floor, thus enabling you to enjoy whichever exhibits are on display. The library also has a large enclosed area on the 16th floor that can be used for events. If you are lucky enough to get invited to one of those events, you’ll also be able to enjoy a 360-degree view of the heart of the city as well as the Marina Bay area.

4. Indulge Your Taste Buds at the Bugis Junction

The Bugis Junction is a mixed development that includes a large mall that makes it synonymous with shopping. But it also provides plenty of eateries worth exploring. When you are done shopping, you can indulge your taste buds in any dining places within the mall that you prefer.
