This is now a wiki - please feel free to add to the list!

I joined Postcrossing last month, and since then, I’ve been keeping a look-out for places that sell postcards, on this tiny island in South-east Asia.

I list a few below.

Do you know of others? I hope you and I can add to each other’s knowledge!

the usual suspects: souvenir shops

• somewhere in Kampong Glam (near Sultan Mosque)
• somewhere in Chinatown - Scarlett sells cards for $1 each (accurate as of Nov 2025)
• Raffles Hotel
• National Museum of Singapore
• the shop called Arch, in the shopping mall called Capitol, near City Hall MRT Station
• Gardens by the Bay (Gift Shop at Bay South) - cards at $2, long cards at $2.50 each (accurate as of 6 Dec 2025)

bookstores

• NBC stores (Bugis Junction and Raffles City)
• Selected Popular outlets (Causeway Point, Westgate)
• Kinokuniya at Ngee Ann City (see post #36)

on the art-sy side

unexpected postcards

• the (alcoholic beverages) bar called No. 5 Emerald Hill provides postcards, and mails them out to international addresses, free of charge. You can buy a drink if you feel paiseh. (Information accurate as of late 2019).

• The Tintin Shop, in Chinatown
