The 10 Best Architectural Buildings in Central Area/City Area, Singapore
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.

If your a fan of art deco you will love this place. The interior & exterior are stunning with fabulous photo opportunities . Like the other travellers we found this place completely by accident amd are very glad we did. We were actually looking for the Raffles building but found this first . Dont miss seeing this place if you get chance but I think its really a place for adults rather than young children .

The National Gallery at the Old Supreme Court displayed a huge myriad of Asian art pieces and the amazing colonial interior and exterior. I absolutely loved the choir in the old court room and the extensive collection of Javanese and Southeast Asian pieces throughout the museum. Would visit again, definitely.

Reviewed By Kim025Singapore - Singapore, Singapore
I went on a guided tour arranged by National Monument Board. This beautiful building was built in 1905 by Mr Manasseh Meyer. A.J. Bidwell of Swan and Maclaren, designed it in the late Renaissance style. The facade features ornate floral plasterwork. At the entrance is a three-arched carriage porch. There are large arched windows throughout the building. In the interior there are arks which are oriented westwards to face Jerusalem. The Torah scrolls are stored in the arks which is a form of decorated receptacles. In the middle of the prayer hall is the bimah, a podium from where the rabbi leads the congregational prayers.

Supreme Court
Reviewed By ChristopherE159 - Truro, United Kingdom
The former City Hall and Supreme Court Building are effectively one attraction! The first thing that strikes one about this attraction is the stunning architecture. We took advantage of one of the free guided tours to gain the maximum information about this beautiful building so sensitively modernised and adapted. It retains many original features and the architectural brief is carefully explained by the excellent guide. So interesting was the tour that our one hour tour quickly became, with our permission, a two hour tour! There is so much to see it deserves this amount of time at least to fully appreciate the extent of the building. The views from the top over Marina Bay and the Padang are amazing! A genuinely fascinating visit!

We touched down in Singapore and rushed to visit the open house of the central fire station. They showed how to operate the hoses, gave briefings on the background of the firefighter's routine, etc. The museum is interactive and has lots of information and things to touch and feel. Esp good for my young kids who loved the exhibits and playing with the water spray.

The food garden offers great Asian dishes at low prices, around 6 or 7 sd per plate, they are fresh, fast and delicious. Great for a cheap healthy lunch. Right under the Westin Hotel.
