What to do and see in Central Area/City Area, Singapore: The Best Churches & Cathedrals
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.

Visit the cathedral after 7pm and soak in the beautiful architecture, life sized lighted angels and Nativity Scene. Not to be missed is the huge Christmas Village Mockup at the Annex Building. It is so Christmassy and joyful we did not want to leave. Amazingly, all this was done by Church Volunteers and the parish. Lovely simply love. Worth a trip on its own. 2 thumbs up.

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.

Was in Singapore on business and was looking for a church to go to while staying at the o mandarin orchard. Church is maybe a $10 cab ride away. The parishioner were very welcoming to visitors and I felt very comfortable. Sermon was well done as well. I'd go back in a minute.

The church located near the MRT and other public transports. It was very easy to get there. From the MRT station, I could see its top and I was so curious to get there. It was a small church but it was so beautiful and quiet. I was there on Saturday so there were only 3 people there to pray. Inside, it was gorgeous with colorful glass decoration.

We went to Sunday Mass at this intimate little church on Tate Road, and loved the experience. The language was English (9.00 am) . The choir sang beautifully. The regular congregation was warm and welcoming.
