The take
The gold dome at the centre of Kampong Gelam (Kampong Glam), and a working mosque first. Visiting closes on Fridays for prayers, so Saturday morning is easiest, and group tours need booking about two months ahead. Come back at dusk for the dome from Bussorah Street.
Good to know
Men: sleeved tops and long trousers. Women: long sleeves, a modest neckline and ankle-length bottoms
The main prayer hall and the second-floor hall are open only with a mosque official; photos without flash
Finding it: 3 Muscat Street; visitors use Gate 5, facing Bussorah Street, rather than the prayer-hall doors. About a 10-minute walk from Bugis MRT (EW12/DT14)

Before you go
Can I visit Sultan Mosque on a Friday?
Sultan Mosque closes to visitors on Fridays, so go Saturday to Thursday instead. Walk-in hours are 10am to noon and 2pm to 4pm, and robes are lent at the counter on a first come, first served basis. Shoes come off before you go in.

Which gate do I use to visit Sultan Mosque?
Use Gate 5, which faces Bussorah Street,. The nearest stations are Bugis and Jalan Besar MRT, each about a 10-minute walk. Arranged group visits need at least two months' notice and go through the mosque's visit email, as do official visits by organisations.

Can I take photos inside Sultan Mosque?
Photography without flash is allowed, but video recording needs approval from the mosque. Visitors can't enter the main prayer hall or the second-floor prayer hall unless a mosque official goes with them. Keep your belongings with you throughout, and ask the counter staff if you are unsure.
