TOP INSTAGRAMMABLE PLACES IN SINGAPORE

This was originally published on 25 September 2018 but we decided to update it with more stunning photo spots we found on our second trip to beautiful Singapore. The five new additions are right up at the top of the blog. So here is the updated ultimate visitors guide to Top Instagrammable Spots in Singapore (this time with a map!). And still all totally doable even if you’re in the city for a few days.

 

Our Tip: The amazing thing about Singapore is that it has been the only place we have traveled to where we didn’t have to wake up at the crack of dawn to take shots. We actually went during different times throughout the day and didn’t come across heaps of people waiting or milling around.

FORT CANNING PARK

Fort Canning Park holds historical significance in Singapore’s history and has now become a popular venue for music festivals and concert events. The park itself is beautiful and one of the best Instagram spots in Singapore has got to be the pedestrian underpass leading into Fort Canning Park!

 

HAJI LANE

Haji Lane is a little street in the Kampong Glam area filled with Singapore’s local hipster art, design and street art scene. It’s also full of great restaurants, cafes and bars. It’s lively, fun and full of color. Every angle and shopfront make for a great photo backdrop which definitely makes it one of the most instagrammable places in Singapore!

 

CHINATOWN

Almost every country has a buzzing, vibrant and instagrammable Chinatown. What’s different about Chinatown in Singapore is that it’s lined with beautifully restored shophouses showing the architectural past of the southern Chinese, European and Malay influences. With every angle picture perfect, you’ll have a difficult time choosing which spot to take.

 

MASJID SULTAN (SULTAN MOSQUE)

This beautiful mosque is one of the most prominent mosques in Singapore and is one of the prettiest landmarks in the city. The most is beautifully framed if you come in through the Muslim Hertiage Centre and sits at the end of the restored shophouses of Arab Street.

 

ANN SIANG HILL

Beautifully restored Peranakan shophouses all lined up with a mixture of textures, tiles and colors. We’re in love!

 PEOPLE’S PARK complex CHINA TOWN

This yellow iconic building is People’s Park Complex in Chinatown.
