Singapore Heritage Walk


City central

























The shopping malls on Orchard Road weren’t really as attractive as I had hoped, so I ventured down the road a bit to visit the museum and City Hall district.  The Singapore City Gallery is a great spot to get a bird’s eye view of different parts of the city and the ongoing plans for urban renewal.  The Red Dot Museum is a must-see for creative and any one into design.  The Mint Museum of Toys is perfect for kidults and any one who’s nostalgic about their childhood toys as it houses over 3,000 toys, all owned by former electric engineer and toy collector.  Nearby the toys museum is the Raffles Hotel, which is famous for showcasing Singapore’s British colonial history.  Built in 1887, this hotel is a lovely place to spend a lazy afternoon while sipping on a sweet Singapore sling.  Another heritage hotel that’s great for a laid back drink is the Fullerton Hotel.  Right across from it is Merlion Park, where Singapore’s iconic lion can be spotted.
