Kallang
Singapore first took flight here — and then learned to roar.
Coming soon on iOS — be first to walk Singapore offline.
Kallang shaped two chapters of Singapore's national story: the Kallang Airport was the country's first purpose-built civil airport, and the old National Stadium — which hosted 18 National Day Parades — gave birth to the legendary Kallang Roar. The Singapore Sports Hub now anchors the district, with a new National Stadium and the Singapore Indoor Stadium carrying the legacy forward along the banks of the Kallang River.
What to look for
- The new National Stadium at the Singapore Sports Hub, where the 2016 National Day Parade was held
- The Kallang River running through the district — Singapore's longest river
- The Singapore Indoor Stadium, which regularly hosts concerts and live performances
The Singapore Indoor Stadium frequently hosts concerts — check what's on before you visit, as the Sports Hub complex is the main draw.
