New Bugis Street (map) is a covered street shopping area in Singapore. Calling itself after the once famous (but now re-developed) Bugis Street, the area has small shops selling items that range from food to cheap clothing.

New Bugis Street is quite crowded during the day, with visitors spilling over from the surrounding areas of Albert Street as well as Bugis Junction. Most visitors are just curious onlookers wanting to find out what the new Bugis Street has to offer. In comparison to the heydays of Bugis Street, the New Bugis Street is quite a tame affair, even with its shops selling sex toys.
New Bugis Street bills itself as the largest street shopping location in Singapore. While that much is true (though streets such as Trengganu Street and Pagoda Street would likely claim the same honour), gone are the days when Bugis Street offer a raunchier form of street entertainment. It is more a bazaar than anything approaching Patpong. Gone are the days when transvestites flirt openly with visitors. Now there is a sense of dull decorum that makes New Bugis Street yet another shopping destination in Singapore.
Getting there
