About this experience

To truly experience the vibrant heartbeat of Singapore, immerse yourself in the pulsating urban life of the Civic District. A heady blend of old and new, the precinct is home to a trove of cultural gems, hip bars and unforgettable feasts.

First up, we will explore the colonial architecture and historical buildings including St Andrew’s Cathedral, Singapore’s largest cathedral and the oldest Anglican house of worship; Capitol Singapore, a neoclassical landmark that dates; Chijmes, a timeless icon that has made a graceful transition from a former school to a lifestyle complex. Proceed to the Long Bar at Raffles Hotel to sample the iconic Singapore Sling. Enjoy a local dinner set around the area.
