Old Town exudes an enchanting blend of colonial charm and vibrant culture that beckons travellers to step back in time. As you wander through its winding streets, you'll be greeted by a kaleidoscope of pastel-hued shophouses and ornate Sino-Portuguese architecture that whisper tales of the island's rich maritime past. The bustling markets brim with local delicacies, from fragrant Thai curries to the sweet allure of traditional desserts, while the quaint cafés and art galleries offer a delightful respite.

A place of supernatural significance to locals, the Crocodile Pool is visited by women who have lost all hope to conceive a child - it is believed that a visit here may help the process along (hence the name "Kachikally" given to some children at birth). The pool is home to well looked-after Nile crocodiles, some of which are so tame they may be pet. Do not miss the adjacent museum, nature trail, and gift shop.

Here you will meet a living castle and castle-life. The hotel business cares about the castle's history and it has been carefully renovated. Teleborg's castle offers hotel and guesthouses. The castle has different common areas and meeting rooms; each and every one with it’s on history, suitable for groups of eight up to hundred people. The castle also houses a restaurant where you can dine with a view over the garden. Teleborgs castle was a wedding gift from the wealthy and slightly eccentric count Fredrik Bonde af Björnö, to his young wife Anna Koskull. The exterior of the castle today is virtually unchanged and is surrounded by the castle garden.
