Itinerary

Merlion Park

30 min

Merlion Park is one of Singapore’s most iconic attractions, located by Marina Bay. Travellers come to see the famous Merlion statue—a mythical creature with a lion’s head and a fish’s body—spouting water into the bay. It symbolizes Singapore’s origin as a fishing village and its name, “Lion City.” The park offers great photo opportunities with the Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, and the city skyline in the background. Visitors also enjoy a relaxing walk along the waterfront, especially during sunset or at night when the lights come alive. It's a popular stop near other attractions like the Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands, and Gardens by the Bay.
Thian Hock Keng Temple

30 min

Thian Hock Keng Temple is one of Singapore’s oldest and most important Hokkien temples, built in the early 1840s by Chinese immigrants to honor Mazu, the goddess of the sea. Located on Telok Ayer Street, it was originally by the waterfront, where early sailors would give thanks for safe voyages. The temple is famous for its traditional Southern Chinese architecture—built without nails and decorated with intricate carvings, dragons, and colorful tiles. It’s a peaceful place of worship for Taoists, Buddhists, and Confucians, and also reflects Singapore’s rich cultural and immigrant history.
Kampong Glam

30 min

Kampong Glam is one of Singapore’s most vibrant and culturally rich neighborhoods, blending Malay, Arab, and modern influences. Once the seat of Malay royalty, it's now a trendy district known for the majestic Sultan Mosque with its golden dome, traditional shophouses, and colorful street art. Visitors explore Haji Lane for indie boutiques and cafes, browse for perfumes and carpets on Arab Street, and enjoy local delicacies like nasi padang and murtabak. It’s a place where history, heritage, and hipster vibes come together — perfect for culture lovers and Instagrammers alike.
Singapore Cricket Club

Passing by

The Padang is a historic open field in the heart of Singapore’s Civic District, surrounded by grand landmarks like the National Gallery and St. Andrew’s Cathedral. It’s home to the prestigious Singapore Cricket Club, where cricket, rugby, and other sports have been played since colonial times. The field has also hosted major events like the first National Day Parade in 1966. With its rich heritage, stunning skyline views, and active sporting scene, the Padang is both a cultural icon and a lively hub for sports and celebrations in the city.
Stop 5

Passing by

Parliament House in Singapore is the official seat of the country's legislature, where key national decisions and debates take place. Opened in 1999, it blends modern design with classical elegance, featuring grand columns and a unique prism-shaped roof. Located in the Civic District near the Singapore River, it’s not only a place of governance but also a symbol of democracy. Visitors can admire the architecture from outside or join guided tours to learn about Singapore’s political system and history.
National Gallery Singapore

Passing by

National Gallery Singapore is housed in two magnificent national monuments—the former Supreme Court and City Hall—and showcases Southeast Asian art in a stunning blend of neo-classical architecture and contemporary galleries. If you’re just passing by, you'll still be wowed by its elegant façade, grand columns, and glass dome, all set within a beautifully landscaped civic plaza. Even a quick stroll around its exterior offers glimpses into Singapore’s artistic heritage and vibrant urban design.
