Step into the vibrant and bohemian world of Holland Village, affectionately known as “Holland V”. This lively precinct, with its colourful streets and friendly atmosphere, has long been a favourite haunt for locals and visitors alike.
While it exudes an air of affluence, its charm remains accessible to all. On weekends, the area comes alive with merry-makers, drawn to its unique blend of trendy cafés, boutique shops, and buzzing energy.
Holland Village gained even more fame when a popular local TV series, aptly titled Holland V, showcased its allure with an all-star cast. Years on, the neighbourhood continues to evolve, yet retains its distinctive character.
On this tour, we’ll stroll through its storied streets, uncovering its history and answering the burning question: does Holland Village have any connection to the Netherlands?
Just a short walk away lies the serene Wessex Estate, a stark contrast to the lively vibe of Holland V. Steeped in history, this tranquil enclave is home to iconic British colonial Black & White houses, exuding rustic charm and old-world elegance.
As we meander through its peaceful lanes, you’ll feel transported to a bygone era. Along the way, we’ll also pass by Tanglin Halt, adding another layer of nostalgia to our journey.
Our tour begins at 9am at Holland Village MRT Station and concludes at the charming Colbar Café in Wessex Estate around 11.30am. This hidden gem, with its nostalgic vibe and hearty fare, is the perfect spot to unwind after our exploration.
Whether you’re a history buff, a culture enthusiast, or simply looking for a delightful morning out, this walking tour promises a unique blend of vibrancy, heritage, and charm. Don’t miss the chance to discover two of Singapore’s most captivating neighbourhoods!
