Near East Coast Park
Katong 2.6 km
A residential district in the east, stretching from Fort Road to Joo Chiat, that once ran down to the sea before land was reclaimed for East Coast Park. It is the old home of the Peranakan community, known for its pastel shophouses and its own style of laksa.
Marina Barrage 6.6 km
A tidal barrage across the Marina Channel, built where five rivers meet the sea, which turned Marina Bay into a freshwater reservoir in the middle of the city. Its grassy green roof is a favourite spot for flying kites and for watching the skyline.
Masjid Hajjah Fatimah 7.0 km
A mosque on Beach Road in Kampong Glam, built in the 1840s by a Malacca-born noblewoman, Hajjah Fatimah. Its minaret leans slightly and looks more like a church steeple, a mix of European and Malay styles that makes it unlike any other mosque in the city.
Gardens by the Bay 7.2 km
A 105 hectare park on reclaimed land beside Marina Reservoir, laid out as three waterfront gardens. Its giant steel Supertrees glow and hum with light at night, and the Flower Dome beside them is the largest glass greenhouse in the world.
Singapore Flyer 7.2 km
A giant observation wheel at the edge of Marina Bay, opened in April 2008 and 165 metres tall. Its 28 air-conditioned capsules each hold 28 people, and one turn gives a slow view over the bay, the city and the ships waiting in the strait.
Kampong Glam 7.3 km
The old Malay and Muslim quarter north of the river, gathered around the golden domes of Sultan Mosque. Its lanes of shophouses hold textile merchants, perfume sellers and cafés, with Arab Street and Haji Lane at its heart.
Haji Lane 7.5 km
A narrow lane of shophouses in Kampong Glam, painted with bold murals and given over to independent shops, bars and cafés. It is short enough to walk end to end in a few minutes, and is at its busiest after dark.
The Helix Bridge 7.5 km
A pedestrian bridge across Marina Bay, linking Marina Centre with Marina South, opened in 2010. Its curving steel frame is shaped like the double helix of DNA and is lit up at night over the water of the bay.
