IMMERSE yourself in the unique experiences of Kampong Gelam

Once a Muslim quarter, Kampong Gelam has evolved into a mecca for arts and entertainment, drawing locals, tourists, celebrities and creative types to our vibrant commune. At the same time, the neighbourhood remains deeply rooted in history, offering visitors a taste of Singapore’s past and present.

By day, Kampong Gelam is an explosion of colours against the backdrop of the magnificent Sultan Mosque. The walls of the eclectic mix of indie boutiques, generations-old stores, trendy cafes and eateries are splashed with art created by local and international artists.

As dusk falls, Haji Lane and Bussorah Street come alive with late-night revellers, buskers and live music, living up to its reputation as a cultural heritage area that delivers vibrant experiences.
