Top 6 Government Buildings in Colonial District/Civic District, 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.

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!

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

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.
6. Parliament of Singapore

The Singapore Parliament is just that- the legislative institution for Singapore. It is in a great location (of course) in a slightly unassuming building. It is directly opposite the other branch of government, the judiciary [the quirky Supreme Court]. The SG Parliament is good for photos and makes a nice backdrop. Also, you can enter the Parliament via a side entrance [on the Supreme Court side] and has a gift shop, some historical artefacts and you can view proceedings should they be happening at the time of your visit.
