Hindu temple dedicated to the Goddess Kali which was established in 1855.

Stop 3

Home of the world's most instagrammable dosai cone.

Check out the various traditional Indian trades like sweetmeat stores, flower shops, etc.

We'll make our way by kick scooter to where we can find remnants of the Old Jewish Quarter and Little Japan which used to exist in Singapore.

Hindu temple dedicated to Lord Vishnu which was built in 1870. It's probably the only Hindu temple in the world where Buddhist and Taoist followers worship at as well.

Temple dedicated to the Goddess of Mercy which was built in 1884. Famed for its uncanny accuracy in fortune telling, it's one of the busiest temples in Singapore.

This area has evolved into "Today's Chinatown". We'll try a variety of vegetarian-friendly street food at a popular hawker centre here.

Stop 9

Once an infamous red light district, Bugis Street is now a bustling marketplace.

We go in search of the streets where Japanese-owned businesses like brothels, photography studios, etc. used to exist before World War II in Singapore. It's hard to fathom but there was a time when more than 2,000 Japanese prostitutes made a living here.

Established by the Portuguese mission in 1853, St Joseph's Church is one of the most stunning Catholic churches in Singapore. It's one of several Catholic churches we'll come across in the Old European Town during the tour.

Oldest Catholic church in Singapore.

Once a Catholic girls' school and orphanage, it's now a vibrant F&B, entertainment and lifestyle destination.
