Haji Ln — Local services in Singapore

Visiting Haji Lane was one of the highlights of my trip to Singapore. As an Indonesian tourist, I found the street incredibly charming, vibrant, and full of character.

Atmosphere & Vibe The moment I stepped onto Haji Lane, I was greeted by colorful murals, quirky boutiques, and cozy cafes. It felt like walking into a mix of modern art and historical charm. The street is narrow but packed with energy, and every corner is Instagram-worthy!

Shopping Experience For anyone who loves unique and stylish items, Haji Lane is a dream. I found independent boutiques selling vintage clothes, handmade accessories, and even quirky souvenirs. The prices can be a bit high, but the quality and uniqueness of the products make it worth it.

Food & Drinks The food options here are diverse and perfect for Indonesian taste buds. I tried Pita Bakery, which served fresh and flavorful pita bread, and enjoyed some gelato at Gelato Garden. The cafes also offer great coffee and desserts, perfect for relaxing after shopping.

Street Art & Photography Haji Lane is a paradise for photography lovers. The colorful murals and artistic vibes make it easy to capture stunning photos. Almost every wall and corner has something worth photographing.

Nightlife At night, the street transforms into a lively hub with bars and live music. Although I didn’t stay too late, the atmosphere was cozy, and the music added a nice touch to the evening.

Accessibility Getting to Haji Lane was easy, as it’s just a short walk from Bugis MRT Station. It’s also close to other attractions in Kampong Glam, like the Sultan Mosque.

Final Thoughts For Indonesian tourists, Haji Lane offers a mix of art, shopping, food, and culture in one compact space. It’s not just a street—it’s an experience. Whether you're here for shopping, photos, or just enjoying the vibrant energy, Haji Lane is definitely...

Where Color, Creativity, and Coffee Collide – Welcome to Haji Lane

If Singapore had a fashion-forward, artsy cousin who’s always camera-ready, it would be Haji Lane. Tucked away like a secret (that everyone actually knows about), this narrow little street explodes with bold murals, quirky boutiques, and the kind of vibe that makes you want to throw your itinerary out the window and just wander.

Every inch of the walls here is a canvas – seriously, even the trash bins have more style than me on most days. It’s a paradise for street art lovers and selfie seekers, but don’t worry, it’s not just for Instagram. There’s plenty of substance behind the style.

Feeling thirsty? The lane is dotted with cool cafés that serve everything from artisan lattes to kombucha you didn’t know you needed. Hungry? Grab a bite from one of the eclectic food spots or chill at a Mediterranean restaurant with outdoor seating that gives serious vacation energy. And if you’re a shopaholic, well… good luck walking past those indie fashion and lifestyle shops without getting “just one thing” (spoiler: it’s never just one).

Getting there is easy – hop off the MRT at Bugis Station (Exit B) and take a casual stroll. Once you see a splash of color, a few hipsters, and someone holding a matcha latte while posing against a mural – congrats, you’ve arrived.

This isn’t just a street. It’s an attitude. It’s a mood....

Haji Lane remains one of the most interesting places to visit. Over the years, noticeable changes have taken place at this culture rich and historical site. The "Lane" is a cross between Arab Street and Baghdad Street. Haji Lane today has Street Murals on the walls, colourful buildings lining up on the sides.

Food : Aplenty! Western, Turkish, Chinese, Arabic, Bubble Tea, Ice cream, cafes..... Lots to offer.

Shops : Picture Booths, Thrifting Stores (Lots!), Local designers, Recycling Shops, Vintage Shops, Toys Shops...... Again Lots to offer

All these, leading towards Sultan Mosque at the end of Subhan Street. The Mosque itself is just majestic especially when the sun is setting and the prayers are ongoing. It is serene, peaceful and beautiful. The roll of belts just under the teardrop shape of the mosque, when you look closely, are made up of the base of glass bottles. When the Mosque was set up, they wanted the locals to contribute to the construction but everyone was so poor. So thery cut the base of the soda and oil bottles and have it fixed onto the top and became part of the structure design.

Give yourself between 4-5 hrs to explore the place including either lunch or dinner in this timeline. It should be a good guide followed by perhaps a walk trip to Bugis...
