Colonial District

Singapore has always had a rich history filled with valiant battles, struggles, freedom and a hefty dose of culture. Today, this history and culture as well as all of Singapore's accomplishments are fused together and brought alive in the Colonial District. Often called the heart of Singapore, it is rightfully said that Singapore would not be Singapore without this district. It is one of the first places all tourists visit to truly get a taste of the island nation. Just north of the Singapore River, the Colonial district is filled with old as well as new buildings that retain the history and style of old Singapore while still adding all the modern touches. These culturally important buildings are towered by the sleek skyscrapers of the bustling Financial District in the south. With so many attractions in the district as well as its vicinity, Colonial District has something to offer for every individual.
