Detailed itinerary

1

We begin with the hustle and bustle of Chinatown, where the past and present blend. Stroll through rows of traditional shophouses with a kaleidoscope of murals decorating public walls, excite your taste buds with local delights, and experience the indomitable spirits of early Chinese settlers through our guide’s stories of yesteryear!

We’ll then travese through the historic Singapore Civic District.
Pass by the Padang, which has seen countless playthroughs of Singapore’s beginnings and the Singapore National Gallery, which has a much deeper history in itself than just being a gallery. Pay tributes at the Civilian Memorial Park, a monument that reminds us of the cruel past we endured. Afterwards we round up at Old Parliament Lane, where the political history of our government grew its roots.
