About this Event

Happy 2026!!
Start the new year right with some culture and walking! This time our popular heritage trail takes us to TANJONG PAGAR! Step into one of Singapore’s richest heritage districts and uncover the stories, communities, and hidden gems that shaped Tanjong Pagar.


This specially curated walking tour will take you through centuries of history from colonial landmarks to vibrant temples and mosques that still anchor the neighbourhood today.


Whether you’re a history lover, architecture enthusiast, or simply curious about Singapore’s cultural tapestry, this walk offers a rare chance to explore Tanjong Pagar’s past through its most storied sites.
