This lovely suburban neighbourhood was once the home of several coconut plantations and a retreat for wealthy city folk. Now, just 10 minutes away from the centre of town by car, it’s one of the most bustling, lively and vibrant districts in Singapore, with boutique shops, delicious local food and a rich history. Colourful rows of houses decorated with delicate tiles arguably make this district one of the most Instagram-worthy locations in the city!
Top tip: be sure to check out the traditional Peranakan shops, stocked with beautiful sarongs and authentic crafts.
