Glimpse side streets on a walk through Chinatown, where a proliferation of brothels and opium dens crowded the streets by the end of the 19th century. Then take a coach to Geylang, Singapore’s still-thriving red light district, and get a behind-the-scenes peek at its numerous back alleys during a walking tour of the area.
Other highlights include the pedestrian-friendly Food Street with its mesmerizing array of street food stalls, and a stroll down Club Street, where you can soak up the buzzing nightlife of one of Singapore's trendiest clubbing areas.
