If you’re a bookworm in Singapore, the National Library Building is basically your happy place. 📚💖 Located at 100 Victoria Street, Singapore 188064, this sprawling literary wonderland is open daily from 10:00am to 9:00pm — yup, plenty of time for hours of book bliss Stepping into the newly refreshed spaces, I was seriously wowed. The vibe? Super chill, modern, and SO inviting. It’s a perfect mix of sleek design and cozy hideaways, just waiting for you to curl up with a good read. The Children’s Biodiversity Library totally stole my heart first. That cave-like entrance? Insta-worthy. The bright colors and nature-themed details make the whole space feel like a whimsical adventure. 🦋🌱 If you’ve got little explorers in tow, this spot will absolutely spark their curiosity. Then there’s the magical Galcove. The wave-like wooden bookshelves are giving MAJOR Pinterest board vibes. There’s a sense of calm and wonder here, like every shelf is an invitation to a new story. Peep the adorable LOLA dragon wall and legit cozy nooks tucked away for you to snag some quality me-time. 🐉✨ As you wander, you’ll notice how spacious and thoughtfully designed everything is — there are bright open spots for group study, serene corners for that “do not disturb” energy and SO many books you’ll wanna live here forever. The mellow lighting, endless shelves and peaceful atmosphere help you completely unwind, even if the city is buzzing right outside. 🪑💛 Whether you’re deep-diving into a novel, exploring the playful new zones, or just chilling with your thoughts, the National Library Building totally delivers. It’s that modern sanctuary for every reader, right in the city’s heart.

Glasshouse @ CHIJMES ☕️🌿

ถ้าเดินเล่นอยู่ใน CHIJMES แล้วอยากหาร้านนั่งพักที่บรรยากาศสบาย ๆ Glasshouse เป็นอีกมุมที่สะดุดตาตั้งแต่ทางเดินด้านหน้า ด้วยร้านกระจกใสที่เปิดรับแสงธรรมชาติ รายล้อมด้วยต้นไม้และสถาปัตยกรรมสีขาวของ CHIJMES

ภายในร้านบรรยากาศค่อนข้างคึกคัก โดยเฉพาะช่วง brunch แต่ยังมีความอบอุ่นจากโต๊ะไม้และแสงธรรมชาติ จุดที่น่าสนใจคือทางเดินหน้าร้านที่มีหลังคากระจกและโคมไฟหลากสี เป็นมุมที่ถ่ายรูปได้ทั้งหน้าร้านและระหว่างทางเดิน

เมนูมีตั้งแต่ Brunch, Tartines & Sandwiches ไปจนถึง Pasta และขนม พร้อม specialty coffee และเครื่องดื่มต่าง ๆ โดยเมนูที่เห็นในวันที่ไปมีทั้ง Glasshouse Brunch Plate, Eggs on Toast, Granola Bowl, Carbonara, Happy Prawn Pasta และ French Toast ☕️🍝

ใครที่ชอบคาเฟ่บรรยากาศดี ๆ หรือกำลังหาอาหารมื้อสายหลังเดินถ่ายรูป CHIJMES ร้านนี้ถือว่าเข้ากับบรรยากาศของที่นี่มาก เพราะได้ทั้ง อาหาร + คาเฟ่ + มุมถ่ายรูป ในจุดเดียว

singapore for culture-lovers! If museum days and Insta-perfect architecture are your thing, you’ve gotta add the National Museum of Singapore to your itinerary 🎨📖

Must-See: The National Museum of Singapore (93 Stamford Rd, Singapore 178897) is open daily from 10am–7pm—just make sure you grab your tickets before 6pm, as last entry’s at 6:30pm (SGD 105 for admission). This place is the oldest museum in Singapore and feels like walking through a living time capsule! The permanent galleries cover everything from the early days of the island to its high-octane future, and the audio guides are genuinely useful for extra tidbits. 

Personal tips: Arrive early to beat any crowds and get those unobstructed photos of the gorgeous rotunda dome. And if you’re craving a chill spot, the museum café serves up great kopi and kaya toast—try them for a true Singaporean flavor break ☕️🍞

Getting Around: The museum is super central, just a short walk from Bras Basah MRT (Circle Line) or Dhoby Ghaut MRT (North-South and North-East Lines). Singapore’s MRT system is easy, air-conditioned, and affordable—no need for taxis unless you’re feeling extra.

Foodie rec: After the museum, take a 10-minute walk to CHIJMES (30 Victoria St) for dinner—so many cool bars and restaurants in a stunning heritage building.

Extra Singapore Tips: Pack light, it’s always hot and humid. Most places accept both card and cash. Grab your e-tickets early on trip.com for the best deals and skip the queue!
