Meet in front of the restaurant A for Arbite at the Aliwal Arts Centre.

The walk is suitable for anyone interested in learning more about street art, heritage, conservation and how Singapore is evolving.What do you mean that this is an 'interactive' walk?The walk is designed as a dialogue instead of only the walk leader talking. People who joined past walks gain most when they engage with questions and answers.Are the walks aimed at tourists?Not at all, the walks are designed for the general public, including residents. I hope that even people who live, work or play in the neighbourhood can join the walk and discover something new.Why Kampong Glam?Kampong Glam houses diversity from skyscrapers to shophouses, from religious buildings to cutting edge street art. There's so much to see and talk about within 1.5 hours of exploring.How physically demanding is the walk?The walk runs for approximately 1.5 hours. Most of the time is spent walking or standing. The route is generally flat, wide and straight, but walkways near shophouses at certain parts may be narrow or obstructed by merchandise or furniture. Part of the walk is near busy main roads, but most of it is held within quieter streets. The route is unfortunately not fully accessible for wheelchairs or prams. Older children are welcome.Does the walk end where you start?No, the walk ends at Bugis MRT.
