On the Grid : Bugis Street

"Bugis, in Singapore, was renowned internationally from the 1950s to the 1980s for its nightly gathering of trans women, a phenomenon which made it one of Singapore's top tourist destinations during that period. In the mid-1980s, Bugis Street underwent major urban redevelopment into a retail complex of modern shopping malls, restaurants and nightspots mixed with regulated back-alley roadside vendors. Underground digging to construct the Bugis MRT station prior to that also caused the upheaval and termination of the nightly transgender sex bazaar culture, marking the end of a colourful and unique era in Singapore's history. Today, the original Bugis Street is now a cobblestoned, relatively wide avenue sandwiched between the buildings of the Bugis Junction shopping complex. On the other hand, the lane presently touted as ""Bugis Street"" by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board is actually developed from New Bugis Street, formerly Albert Street, and is billed as ""the largest street-shopping location in Singapore"". An attempt by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board to bring back the former exotic atmosphere was unsuccessful. Although the street is now not a well-known tourist destination, it is frequented by many Singaporeans." - Fable

If you are looking for souvenirs in Singapore, look no further. Bugis Street is the place to be to buy your typical souvenirs such as t-shirts and magnets. It gets quite boring though as it gets repetitive with stalls selling the exact same thing. There are also a lot of small food shops available to get some food or drinks. Cozy vibes though!

Nice place to shop for souvenirs and gifts. It has plenty of shops selling everything from clothes to key chains. Good facilities for washrooms and water. They have a decent food court as well.

It's a good stroll with a food center at the end. However if you want to buy food pasalubong here, I won't recommend it as it is cheaper to buy in the supermarket. For keychain and stuff the prices are decent just choose wisely the souvenirs. Pretty crowded like divisoria haha

Me and my boyfriend visited Bugis Street last August while staying in Singapore and had a fun experience. The street is full of shops and stalls selling clothes, souvenirs, and snacks at very affordable prices. It was very crowded, but we still enjoyed exploring the variety of items and trying local street food. A must-visit spot for shopping and experiencing the vibrant atmosphere of Singapore! 🛍️✨

Today, Bugis Street is part of the cluster of CapitaLand’s Bugis Junction & Bugis+ shopping hub. Catering to the lower end of the fashion spectrum similar to HDB markets, it remains a tourist magnet for its affordable fashion and ladies grooming outlets. During the early years of newly independent Singapore 🇸🇬, Bugis Street became globally famous in the post-war years for its vibrant, risqué nightlife, known especially for the transvestite scene, where “ah kuas” socialized, performed, and interacted with tourists and servicemen. At its peak, it was Asia’s most talked-about nightlife district, attracting celebrities, sailors, and backpackers, rivalling Patpong in Bangkok. However, moving on with times, the Singapore Government redeveloped the whole area as part of new MRT in the 1980s. The iconic open-air night scene was dismantled and replaced with Bugis Junction, a modern shopping and office complex.

It’s considered a traditional market made up of narrow alleyways, offering a wide range of souvenirs, clothes, shoes, sandals, and bags, along with local restaurants. The market has multiple floors, and the fourth floor features salons and beauty centers.
