The area generally regarded as a South Singapore is not a place to be underestimated. So if you are a traveller looking to find the most exciting things about Singapore, take some time to explore the nooks and crannies of South Singapore. It will be well worth the effort!
Sometimes referred to as the 'swinging south', this part of Singapore is filled with trinkets of bygone eras that tend to spark nostalgia amongst those who lived during those times.
The Tanjong Pagar Railway Station is no different. This location is a common stop for people who had done the commutes to and back from Malaysia by train when the station was fully operational. Those train rides may have been just the peace and solace that you needed in your younger days to collect your thoughts, or maybe you visited this station as a child. No matter the circumstance of your visit, this establishment holds a special place in many people's hearts.
This railway station also is well regarded for its Art Deco style that makes it a beautiful building that even a random passer-by would want to snap a picture of when they have the chance!
Suppose you are in a hotel near Harbourfront Singapore such as the Park Hotel Alexandra. In that case, you will find yourself just a quick 10-minute journey from this landmark.
If you are an enthusiast of a spectrum of design, from funky to sleek to modern, there is no better place to be than the Red Dot Design Museum.
The museum is frequented for its showcases by those who actively aim to envision and potentially innovate while looking at the future.
This museum is filled with futuristic cars, light bulbs, and art pieces. They are not only likely to open your mind to the realm of possibility and leave you inspired regarding what you can create as well.
If you are in the colourful yet, at times, dark monuments to Chinese sagas, then the Haw Par Villa is the place to be. While many comments on the theme of the monuments being somewhat macabre, there is plenty to be appreciated about the vivid scenes depicting hell and torture.
A word of advice would be to leave the kids at home for this one because it will be a bit difficult for them to understand.
If you are looking to stretch your legs a little bit, head towards the Southern Ridges. This trail that stretches from Kent Ridge Park to VivoCity is a great way to enjoy the best of Hort Park, Henderson Waves, and Mount Faber.
This shopping centre is one of the best places to play with your kids and even with your own friends. This is not your typical shopping centre with an open-air playground and a rooftop water feature; that much is guaranteed.
