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.

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!

CHIJMES (pronounced “chimes”) stands for the Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus, a Neo-Classical style building which houses one of Singapore’s most aesthetically-pleasing dining and entertainment venues.

Chijmes with a silent J is a mouthful word to say unless you wanna spell and spread out the whole "Convent of the Holy Infant Jesus Middle Education School Singapore" that its short of. And with that gothic architecture and spire it can only be an European designed Catholic Church. Except it's not. But it did used to be the nun run sister act girls school as well as orphanage where people would leave their unwanted infant girls for nuns to raise. Now this glittering, glamorous shopping and dining complex is serving the community in much more modest way by providing a wedding venue, high end shopping, dining experience and allows leaving only tips and good reviews behind. It's still a national monument and heritage landmark though and very distinctive among all other modern buildings.

I stumbled across this building whilst walking around the Clarke Quay/ Dhouby Ghaut area. (Hill Street) I had to wait for the traffic to clear to get my photo, but definitely worth the wait

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.
8. Victoria Theatre & Victoria Concert Hall
Overall Ratings
4.0 based on 99 reviews
The grand old dames of Singapore’s performing arts scene, Victoria Theatre and Victoria Concert Hall (VTVCH), returns after a three-year refurbishment to Singapore's growing arts and cultural landscape. Its elegant Victorian facade is well-preserved, so are its famed clock tower and original passageway connecting the theatre and concert hall. Walk through this charming building to see its heritage elements carefully conserved, namely its 152-year-old twin domes. Providing mid-sized performance venues, VTVCH fills a gap in the local arts scene, and now has improved acoustics, music and dance rehearsal rooms and state-of-the-art facilities.

This bridge was completed in 1869 and is the oldest bridge across Singapore River to survive in its original form. It was one of the first suspension bridge in this region. This bridge was so low that vessels had to wait for low tide to pass under it. It used to support a tram line until 1910. When the nearby Anderson Bridge was completed, Cavenagh Bridge was converted into a footbridge. it underwent a restoration in 1987 after Singapore River was cleaned up. The old police notice still stands on each end of the bridge.

Everything about the hotel was perfect. The suite was beautiful and in keeping with the hotels era. The butler service was very good, the staff through out the hotel were attentive, friendly, polite and helpful. The bed comfortable, a pillow menu allowing for a change if desired. An elegant bathroom. Comfortable chairs and a table on the balcony to look at the garden, was very peaceful. Breakfast in the Tiffin Room was extensive and encompassing both eastern and western food, served promptly in lovely surroundings. Altogether a perfect stay for our 50th wedding anniversary. All the little extras to help us celebrate were much appreciated. The pool area was also a popular spot with us, reminiscent of a by gone era.
