Stay where it’s all happening! Bugis

Backpackers Hostel

is ideal for those who love to shop, eat and party. In the hustle and bustle of city life, this backpackers’ resides in the centre of it all and is walking distance to all your favourite attractions such as Little India, Chinatown and Arab Street.

Grab the best bargains on antiques at Arab Street. Neatly woven rattan baskets, quality silk or beautiful lace and mouth-watering middle-eastern cuisine are among the other popular traits of Arab Street. This well-known middle-eastern village is also a good place to stock up on souvenirs and memorabilia items.

Bugis is noted for its architecturally restored shophouses and alleyways bustling with activity. Grab bargains on all sorts of accessories, bags, streetwear fashion and footwear.

I recommend staying at Bugis
