Are you ready for New Year's Eve celebrations? Great!

Here is a list of the best places to go for New Year's Eve fireworks in Singapore. Pack your picnic baskets and enjoy the countdown to 2023!

After a two-year break due to the pandemic, the popular Singapore New Year's Eve countdown event is returning to Marina Bay this year.

But if you prefer to ring in the new year closer to home, check out spectacular fireworks in the heartlands with your family.

Here is our list of the places to hit this New Year's Eve countdown:

Gardens by the Bay

Head to Bay East Garden's beachfront promenade, which connects to East Coast Park and the Barrage. Along its 2km length, there are several excellent sites for seeing Singapore's fireworks display.

You can relax and enjoy your family's company while watching the spectacular fireworks in the garden, which is open 24 hours a day and is free.

Where: 18 Marina Gardens Drive, Singapore 018953

The Helix

The Helix, also known as the Helix Bridge, is a well-known pedestrian bridge that connects Marina Centre and Marina South.

It is one of the top attractions and the best place to view the fireworks. As the sun sets, the bridge is magnificently lit up, making it a great Instagram spot. There is no entrance fee to the helix bridge, it's all free.

Where: Marina Bay

Marina Bay Sands Promontory, Merlion Park

The ideal location to view the fireworks is Merlion Park, which is only a short distance away from the Jubilee Bridge.

Merlion Park attracts large crowds every year, so if you want to get a good spot to watch the fireworks, make sure to arrive early.

Where: One Fullerton, near the Central Business District

Mount Faber Peak

One of the most popular destinations is Mount Faber Peak. There is a cable car attraction that is particularly popular with families seeking fun activities such as hiking or taking a stroll through the greenery.

After taking a walk, you can head over to the nearby Arbora Hilltop Garden & Bistro, which serves a variety of Western classics and kid-friendly selections, set against stunning views of the Singapore skyline.

Where: 109 Mount Faber Road, Singapore 099203

Waterfront Promenade, Esplanade

This breezy spot is the ideal location to catch the fireworks display.
