A self guided audio tour of Singapore.
Singapore is a city that surprises you with what it has held onto. Between the glass towers of the financial district you find the old shophouse streets of Chinatown and Little India, worn and vivid, and the waterfront at Clarke Quay still carries a faint memory of the trading river it once was. Walking here is to move between very different cities that have somehow agreed to share the same island, and the mixture is more alive than any single one of them would be alone.
In the app, 100 stops in Singapore are narrated aloud, about 2h 50m of listening across 8 walking routes, in 13 languages, offline once downloaded. Choose a route or build your own, then walk while a calm voice tells you the story of each stop. The app also maps 100 Instagram photo spots, social media photo locations with directions to where you stand for the shot.

Loop through the heart of the CBD from the Victorian cast iron market of Lau Pa Sat up through the glass towers of Raffles Place and down to the incense haze of Thian Hock Keng.
