6 Sacred & Religious Sites in Downtown Core/Downtown Singapore That You Shouldn't Miss

June 2, 2021 Tonie Szymanski

The Singapore cityscape looks like it was ripped from the pages of a science fiction comic book. If you’re hungry for a true Singapore experience, sample the myriad street foods or take a cultural cooking class. The Botanic Gardens and the Gardens By the Bay offer a slice of horticultural heaven, and the observation deck of the Sands SkyPark makes you feel like you’re high above the clouds. The banks and walkways along the Singapore River bustle with local activity.

St Andrew's Cathedral

St Andrew’s Cathedral is one of Singapore’s most treasured works of architecture. Gazetted as a national monument on 1973, you’ll stand in awe at its majestic facade, with extended pinnacles and a glossy white exterior. Take a coffee break and enjoy our free wifi at The Cathedral Cafe which is conveniently located beside the City Hall MRT entrance (North Bridge Road).

In the center of Singapore is the cornerstone of British colonialism, a gorgeous, sparkling white, neo-gothic Anglican church. As an Episcopalian, we had to visit for a service and we greatly enjoyed. While the exterior is stunning white against a lush green environment, the interior is a beautiful balance of shades of blue with natural wood and white. I will also say the service was truly worldly with a English rector, Nigerian associate and a congregation of Chinese parishioners. For us it was one of the highlights of our visit to Singapore. However, even if you are not an Anglican, it is an impressive house of worship.

The First Generation

Reviewed By macedonboy - Glasgow, United Kingdom

This sculpture is one of many along the promenade of Boat Quay, except this is less serious than the others. The sculpture depicts a scene where 5 boys are jumping into the Singapore River. Two of the boys are depicted mid flight and just adds to the sense of joyful memories. One of the boys is depicted getting into his birthday suit which just reminds me of the halcyon days of youth. Wonderful childhood memories.
