North Bridge Road

One of the earliest roads built in Singapore, North Bridge Road is so called because it ran north of Presentment Bridge (present-day Elgin Bridge). This road has always been one of the liveliest commercial streets in the Kampong Glam area, lined with shops set up by diverse communities and various trades that have came and went, including tailors, printers and genstone craftsmen.

Today, North Bridge Road remains the place to go for pilgrimage goods, 'attar' (non-alcohol perfumes crafted from essential oils), handcrafted jewellery and other paraphernalia. You can also savour food such as murtabak, biryani or nasi padang.
