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.
