Things to do in Singapore, Singapore: The Best Architectural Buildings

February 16, 2022 Darwin Bolte

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.

Parkview Square

Described as imposing and monumental, the open plaza of Parkview Square is surrounded by sculptures and statues, with an impressive number of bronze effigies of famous historical characters.

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.

Old Supreme Court Building

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!

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.

Dalhousie Obelisk

It is believed that the design was modelled after “Cleopatra’s Needle” on the Thames Embankment in London, which might explain the British influences in its tall, needle-like architectural structure.
