Tras Street, Singapore

Temasek Avenue, Singapore

Tras Street is a minor street in the Tanjong Pagar area, in downtown Singapore. It runs two-ways from Enggor Street to the intersection with Wallich Street, and a one-way street heading north from Wallich Street until ending at Cook Street.

Tras Street also forms an intersection with Gopeng Street and Peck Seah Street. Originally Tras Street continued to Maxwell Road, but that section has been redeveloped and today is occupied by Maxwell House.

Tras Street is known for its historical buildings and shophouses, which have been beautifully preserved and renovated. Many of these buildings date back to the colonial era and showcase the city-state's rich cultural heritage.

Tras Street is a popular destination for tourists and locals alike, due to its charming atmosphere and its proximity to popular attractions such as the Tanjong Pagar MRT Station and the bustling Central Business District. The street is lined with cafes, restaurants, and boutiques, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a cup of coffee or a meal.

In recent years, Tras Street has become a hub of creative and cultural activity, with many artists and musicians setting up studios and galleries in the area. This has added a unique vibe to the street and has attracted a young, trendy crowd.

Overall, Tras Street is a must-visit destination for anyone interested in the rich cultural heritage of Singapore. Its mix of historical charm and modern creativity make it a unique and vibrant part of the city.

Tras Street was created in 1898, and was supposedly named after a place in Malaya (though I am not sure where that is). Today it forms a boundary between the skyscrapers of the Central Business District and the shophouses of Chinatown.

About this website

Dear visitor, thank you so much for reading this page. My name is Timothy Tye and my hobby is to find out about places, write about them and share the information with you on this website. I have been writing this site since 5 January 2003. Originally (from 2003 until 2009, the site was called AsiaExplorers. I changed the name to Penang Travel Tips in 2009, even though I describe more than just Penang but everywhere I go (I often need to tell people that "Penang Travel Tips" is not just information about Penang, but information written in Penang), especially places in Malaysia and Singapore, and in all the years since 2003, I have described over 20,000 places.

While I try my best to provide you information as accurate as I can get it to be, I do apologize for any errors and for outdated information which I am unaware. Nevertheless, I hope that what I have described here will be useful to you.
