Haji Lane
The Basics
While Haji Lane is a shopper’s paradise—one of the trendiest in Singapore—it isn’t just for fashion; foodies can head here for an authentic Middle Eastern meal and art lovers will find a collection of colorful murals. In the evenings, many of the restaurants double as live music venues, and coffee shops convert into relaxed hookah bars. The street extends between North Bridge Road and Beach Roach.

- While short and narrow, Haji Lane warrants at least a couple hours (or a half-day) of exploration.
- Don’t forget your camera; the colorful street art is Instagram-worthy.

When to Get There
Most of the shops cater to a young clientele, and if you come early in the day, you’re likely to be met with more gated and locked stores than open ones. Whether you’re planning to window shop or supplement your wardrobe, it’s best to visit Haji Lane in the late afternoon or early evening.
What’s Nearby
After you’ve explored Haji Lane, don’t leave the Muslim Quarter without heading a couple streets over to see Masjid Sultan (Sultan Mosque), one of Singapore’s most recognizable landmarks and a designated national monument. Muscat Street has some of the city’s most interesting architecture.
