Singapore's oldest fire station, on Hill Street, hides vintage engines you can climb into. Pair it with a Saturday-morning open house downstairs, booked ahead. Closed Mondays.
A 27-metre wood-fired brick kiln from 1940 behind a Jurong yard of pots. Worth the trek for a pottery class or a heritage fix; firings are rare, so ask when it’s next lit.
A floating boardwalk that rises with the tide, a lagoon that holds the sea and reef life in the pools at low tide. Pack lunch and water: the island sells neither.
Rows of white headstones, twelve walls of names and the country's first two presidents next door, on a hillside in the far north. Go in the late afternoon and give it time.
Crimpy setting, standard V-grades and an outdoor lead wall, on the second floor of the Civil Service Club near Farrer Park. A gym for getting stronger, not for the café.
Gongs, Tibetan singing bowls and crystal bowls on a quiet Telok Ayer side street. Start with the Gong Nidra if you've never meditated; there's nothing to get wrong.
A free, timed 5km every Saturday morning on the flat seafront path at East Coast Park. Register once, print your barcode and turn up before the heat does.
A 90-minute hot–cold circuit in a Tras Street shophouse, named after the rodent that sits in warm water doing nothing. Phones stay in the locker, which is the hard part.
A no-frills foot rub in Orchard Plaza that runs into the small hours, with a free herbal foot bath and prices that ignore the Orchard Road postcode. Come for the hands, not the room.
The quietest way to spend serious money at Raffles: a spa in the arcade with steam room, sauna, onsen-style pool and Omorovicza's gold rituals. Save it for a milestone.
Tui na done properly in hotel comfort: an hour of kneading along the meridians on Level 4 of the Pan Pacific, then tea, steam and a pool. For desk-bound shoulders.
A Latin-leaning bar-bistro at Chip Bee Gardens with a ten-seat vinyl booth and an honour-system library. Come in the afternoon and put a record on.
