Singapore has no shortage of things happening. The question is always knowing which ones matter.
City Nomads was founded in 2012 as an insider guide to food and beverage, and cultural events in Singapore. Today, it is an independent digital publication covering dining, culture, travel, and lifestyle across Singapore and the region, helping readers navigate what is worth their time.
City Nomads exists to help people live better and more meaningfully by making informed choices about how they spend their time. In a fast-moving region filled with options, we focus on what is genuinely worth knowing, doing, and experiencing.
Who we write for
City Nomads speaks to Singapore’s modern, experience-driven audience aged 25 to 50. Our readers include a mix of locals and expats who are well-educated, digitally savvy, and have a strong appreciation for quality experiences.
They are culturally curious and socially aware, with interests spanning dining, travel, wellness, art, and design. They seek out places, stories, and brands with substance, and rely on City Nomads to guide where to eat, drink, and explore next.
The City, Covered
We cover Singapore with depth and intent.
Our dining coverage spans new restaurant openings worth booking, neighbourhood cafes worth travelling for, fine dining experiences that justify the occasion, and long-standing hawker favourites that continue to define the city’s food culture. Our bar coverage reflects the same approach, from neighbourhood haunts to internationally recognised cocktail destinations.
Beyond food and drink, we follow the cultural pulse of the city. We cover exhibitions, cinema, live music, and theatre through the lens of people who actively engage with these scenes. We also spotlight the chefs, artists, musicians, and entrepreneurs shaping how Singapore eats, creates, and evolves.
Wellness, fashion, and consumer culture are approached with the same editorial intent. Rather than chasing trends, we focus on what is thoughtful, well-executed, and relevant, from studios and treatments to brands and experiences that reflect how people live today.
The World, From Singapore
Living in Singapore comes with a unique proximity to the world, and travel remains a core part of how our audience experiences life.
City Nomads covers destinations across Asia and beyond, from quick regional escapes to longer journeys further afield. Our guides span cities such as Bali, Bangkok, Tokyo, South Korea, Hong Kong, and destinations across Europe and Australia.
Whether it’s seasonal travel moments, cultural events, or destination-driven experiences, we aim to provide coverage that is both practical and inspiring, grounded in real insight rather than surface-level recommendations.
Events & What’s On
We curate what’s happening across Singapore, focusing on events that are actually worth attending.
From one-night-only performances and gallery openings to festivals, markets, and cultural moments, our listings are selected editorially, not algorithmically. We prioritise relevance, quality, and experience over volume.
How We Work
City Nomads operates as a boutique independent publication, working with a network of writers, photographers, and contributors across Singapore and the region.
Our contributors include journalists, freelancers, and industry professionals selected for their expertise, perspective, and ability to go beyond surface-level coverage. Every article is written by a named author, with links to their work and profiles.
Editorial oversight is provided by Sharmaine Khoo and Pedro Gonçalves, who are responsible for maintaining the quality, direction, and integrity of the publication.
Ownership
City Nomads is owned and operated by Multikulti Pte Ltd, a company incorporated in Singapore.
We are independently owned and do not rely on external investors or funding. This allows us to maintain a clear editorial voice while working with brands and partners in a way that supports the sustainability of the platform.
City Nomads is the insider guide for better living. We’re glad you’re here.
