Haji Lane is a touristy section of the city that has vintage shopping, restaurants and cafes, fabric stores, souvenir shops, and more. This is a perfect place to pick up some gifts for friends and family and buy some unique pieces for your wardrobe. The chic vibe attracts a younger crowd and is a perfect place to spend a relaxed afternoon with friends. Locals and expats alike highly recommend visitors to spend a day here. The colorful murals and beautiful architecture allow for the perfect opportunity for artsy photos. At night, the buzzing shopper can take a moment to put their bags down to enjoy a meal outside as live bands and solo acts fill the streets with their music.

Hawker Centers are eatery areas that offer many food options for very reasonable prices. This is a must experience and it is a great place to try new cultural dishes from Indian food to Chinese food and everything in between. There are several Hawker Centers around the city, each offering a different atmosphere. Remember to bring cash because many stalls do not take credit or debit cards. Also, don't forget your tissue packs because you won't find napkins here!
