Conveniently located next to Bugis MRT Station and flanked by malls like Bugis Junction and Bugis+, its 800-plus stalls are a paradise for bargain hunters in search of trendy apparel, quirky accessories and unique keepsakes.
Beyond shopping, Bugis has grown into a cultural and culinary hotspot. The market is a sensory delight, featuring everything from Thai milk tea and kaya balls to handcrafted goods and pop culture finds. Whether you’re exploring nearby heritage sites, relaxing in a stylish cafe or soaking in the lively atmosphere, Bugis Street Market offers a colourful and authentic slice of Singaporean life.

Popular with both locals and tourists, Bugis Street Market is well-known for being one of the cheapest places in Singapore for sourcing your souvenirs, accessories, clothes, electronics, houseware, and cosmetics. Many of the little trinkets here such as keychains, postcards, and stationary are available from as little as S$1.
There’s a whole range of clothes on offer, too. Although not exactly Singapore’s most cutting-edge fashion hotspot, quality items for all tastes can be found at the market if you look hard enough. A pair of jeans can set you back just S$15, shirts and T-shirts from S$10, sunglasses and hats from S$5, and shoes from S$20.
Recently revamped, the sprawling market is now all covered, allowing shoppers to enjoy the bargains – come rain or shine. Over 800 shops of all shapes and sizes also make this the biggest market in Singapore. Most of the stalls open early (around 11am), and stay open until the crowds leave, which usually is around 10pm or 11pm on the weekends.
As with any popular retail spot in Singapore, Bugis Street Market has plenty of eating options to keep hungry shoppers satisfied. Look out for the excellent fresh juice bar towards the centre (banana, coconut, pineapple, or melon from S$2) and there are a few other stalls selling fried snacks, satays as well as the odd noodle stall. If you’re looking for something more substantial, head to Albert Centre market and food centre at the back – a large separate hawker centre that serves full meals from around S$3.50.
Bugis Street Market is just a short walk from Bugis MRT Station. Look for the red-roofed entrance or just follow the crowds if you’re not sure. For when the market gets too hot, there is also the cooler (but more expensive) Bugis+ mall next door as well as Bugis Junction opposite.
