Where to watch breathtaking New Year fireworks in Singapore

SINGAPORE: There are only a few hours left before the clock strikes 12, and you’re probably wondering where to watch the New Year’s fireworks display and spend the last minute of the year.

We’ve got you covered. Here’s a list of some of the most breathtaking fireworks shows you can watch in Singapore:

Merlion Park

Picture the famous Merlion statue—half fish, half lion—against a backdrop of vivid blasts of colourful, dancing lights.

That would be a fantastic sight to behold. At the stroke of twelve, Merlion Park is transformed into a sophisticated setting for a modern and traditional New Year’s Eve event.

Large crowds usually come here yearly, so it’s important to make your way to the park a few hours before midnight to get a good seat for the show.

If you are a nature lover, Gardens by the Bay is probably the best place. This world-class horticultural area provides a haven for nature lovers and photographers alike.

However, the scene here becomes all the more spectacular during the New Year. The majestic Marina Bay Sands and the iconic Supertrees create a breathtaking backdrop for the spectacular fireworks show as you assemble along the promenade.
