Must-visit places for cultural experiences 

Singapore's charm lies in its harmonious blend of cultures – Malay, Chinese, Indian, and European. Immerse yourself in this diversity and learn through experiencing the culture first-hand in these three main areas:

Little India 

Little India is a vibrant neighbourhood that offers something for everyone! Locals and tourists alike flock here to soak up the culture and energy. Local Indians visit the temples, like the stunning Sri Veeramakaliamman Temple, or shop for traditional goods at Mustafa Centre, a 24-hour shopping haven.

Besides that, you can also walk through history with the “Little India Heritage Trail” offering you a glimpse into the stories and memories of this area. It’s a free and easy trail that has several routes for visitors to better understand this area.

Chinatown 

Chinatown is Singapore’s largest historic district, occupying three restored pre-war shophouses at Pagoda Street, introducing visitors to Chinatown’s history. Another popular spot would be Temple Street, where you can haggle for souvenirs at the bustling street markets and ornate temples are located. While you’re there, don't miss Buddha Tooth Relic Temple, a magnificent Buddhist landmark.

Kampong Glam

Once exclusive to the Muslim community, Kampong glam has now blossomed into a cultural melting pot. From vibrant street art along Haji Lane to the charm of Sultan Mosque, you will find a harmonious mix of Chinese, Malay, Indian and European influences.

Unleash your inner explorer at popular tourists attractions  

Singapore offers stunning natural beauty alongside its urban landscape. Explore these green havens tucked away from the bustling city:

Sentosa Nature Discovery
