📍 Destination Overview
Bugis, in central Singapore, is a lively cultural shopping district. Bugis Street Market, grown from a post-war black market into an open-air street, is known for its stalls, while the Arab quarter centers on the Sultan Mosque and Kampong Glam preserves Malay heritage. Haji Lane's graffiti and cafés typify Singapore's youth culture, and Malay fare like nasi lemak marks its cuisine.
