Kampong Glam & Bugis & nearby — a sights day
The Malay-Arab quarter: Sultan Mosque's golden domes, Haji Lane's murals and boutiques, perfume ateliers and the halal food heartland.

The palm-lined pedestrian street that runs straight at Sultan Mosque's entrance, and the postcard view of Kampong Glam. The two- and three-storey shophouses along it were built between 1840 and 1900 and still carry the covered five-foot way Raffles mandated, which means shade on one side whatever the hour. Ground floors are souvenir shops, textile sellers and Middle Eastern kitchens with tables out on the street. Free, open at any hour, and busiest in the late afternoon and after dark when the lanterns come on and the restaurant terraces fill; mornings are quiet enough to photograph the mosque framed by the street without a crowd.

The former palace of Kampong Glam's Malay royalty, reopened on 25 April 2026 after three and a half years of redevelopment — six galleries, close to 280 artefacts, and more than 80 percent of them on show for the first time, tracing Malay identity from the wider region to modern Singapore. Galleries open Tuesday to Sunday, 10am to 6pm with last admission at 5.30pm, closed Mondays; the surrounding compound is open 8am to 9pm on the same days, so the grounds are worth a look even after the galleries shut. Entry is free for Singapore citizens and permanent residents; visitors from abroad pay 10 Singapore dollars, or 8 for persons with disabilities. It sits one street behind Sultan Mosque, so the two pair naturally.

A 250-metre shophouse lane packed with hand-painted murals, independent fashion boutiques and rooftop bars — the bohemian heart of Kampong Glam. Quiet by day, it fills up in the evening as bars open and the wall art lights up after dark. Individual shop and bar hours vary; most boutiques open from late morning.

A small-batch perfume atelier on Arab Street recognised by Singapore's National Heritage Board — custom attar oil blends, colognes and candles, alcohol-free in the old attar tradition. Petite oil bottles start around S$40. A quieter, artisan counterpoint to the incense-and-textile shops nearby.

Landmark10 minThe last surviving Chinese villa in Little India, built in 1900 for sweet-factory towkay Tan Teng Niah — repainted in vivid pink, green and blue during an 1980s-90s restoration. It's a private building today: view and photograph the facade from Kerbau Road, no entry inside. A five-minute detour off Serangoon Road.

A three-storey complex right outside Little India MRT: a working wet market at dawn, a packed hawker food centre for South Indian, Malay and Chinese stalls, and a textile/spice floor above. The building's overall hours are wide, but individual stalls keep their own schedule honestly — wet-market vendors are usually done by early afternoon, and many hawker stalls close on a rotating weekday or once they sell out.

A legendary multi-storey department store a few minutes from Little India MRT — electronics, perfumes, groceries, souvenirs and gold, open around the clock, every day of the year. The gold and jewellery counters keep separate hours and close by 10pm; everything else stays open through the night.

Tiong Bahru & nearby — sights morning, shopping afternoon
Singapore's art-deco estate: curved 1930s Streamline Moderne flats and a horseshoe-shaped block hiding a WWII air-raid shelter, Yip Yew Chong's bird-corner mural, a century-old hawker market, and Yong Siak Street's indie bakeries and boutiques.

Singapore's first temple dedicated to the Monkey King (Sun Wukong) of Journey to the West, founded in 1920 and moved to this shophouse in 1938. More than ten Monkey King statues are enshrined inside, some dating to the 1910s. Free entry; dress and behave respectfully as it remains an active place of worship.

A vivid wall mural by local artist Yip Yew Chong recreating the 1980s scene of elderly residents gathering here with their caged songbirds for coffee and conversation — a Tiong Bahru tradition that has since faded. Free to view any time from the street, tucked beside the Link Hotel.

A small landscaped pocket garden at the heart of the 1930s Tiong Bahru estate, first laid out in 1972 on what had been an open exercise ground for residents. Its centrepiece is the 1.2-metre 'Dancing Girl' sculpture by Singapore artist Lim Nang Seng, and it's a marked stop on the National Heritage Board's Tiong Bahru Heritage Trail. Free and open-air, all day — a five-to-ten-minute pause rather than a destination in itself.

Singapore's only horseshoe-shaped public housing block, built 1939-1940 in Streamline Moderne style with sweeping curved balconies — and home to the country's last surviving pre-war civilian air-raid shelter in its basement. The exterior is freely viewable from the street; the shelter itself only opens for occasional heritage-festival tours.

A cosy, cluttered indie shop stocking Singapore-made design objects, vintage-look postcards, notebooks, and quirky homewares — plus a resident shop cat who unofficially runs the till. One of the last true independent stores left on Yong Siak Street after several neighbours, including the long-running BooksActually bookstore, closed in the early 2020s.

A six-floor neighbourhood mall directly linked to Tiong Bahru MRT (Exit B), with a supermarket, food court, and a mix of fashion, electronics, and service shops — a reliable indoor stop if it rains, or for an ATM, pharmacy, or a quick meal outside the hawker circuit.

Admission is free. STRICT DRESS CODE: shoulders and knees must be covered — no sleeveless tops, tank tops, shorts, or skirts above the knee; sarongs/wraps are kept at the entrance for visitors who arrive underdressed, and shoes come off before entering certain prayer halls.
