Okay, you might not get the best views from this spot. But since it overlooks part of the Singapore cityscape including Marina Bay Sands, you should be able to catch a glimpse of the New Year’s Eve fireworks. Since it’s located on the rooftop of a popular mall downtown, it might get crowded. So, be sure to get there early to save the best spot to see the NYE fireworks!

Access via: top floor of the Marina Square Mall, 4-min walk from Esplanade MRT station via Exit C

Catching the NYE 2025 fireworks in Singapore from the Singapore Flyer will give you the best bird’s eye view, and because it’s the hottest seat in the nation, the tickets get sold out quickly! It’s a bit of a cheat entry into the best ‘free’ spots to watch the 2024 fireworks since you still have to buy a ticket to the flyer.

Where: 30 Raffles Avenue, Singapore 039803
Access via: Promenade MRT Station
