The longest pedestrian bridge in Singapore is a striking 28-meter-long steel duplex bridge that overlooks Marina Bay. Its double-helix design is inspired by the spiraling shape of human DNA. In addition to providing a walkable link between the City Hall or the Esplanade district and the Bayfront area, the bridge also acts as an outdoor gallery, displaying works by local youths

Nicknamed ‘The Durian’ for its spiky, glass-covered construction that resembles the king of fruits, this is the hub of Singapore’s art scene, playing host to music, theatre, dance and art festivals. There are free events every day, from dance performances and outdoor concerts to kid-centric interactive activities, plus quirky shops and restaurants. The adjacent open-air hawker centre, Makansutra Gluttons Bay, offers some of the city’s most-loved food. Visitors may also be interested in taking a back-of-house tour of this premier performing arts venue

After the original chapel on the site of the present building was destroyed by two lightning strikes in 1852, it was torn down. In its place, a cathedral with early English Gothic influences was built. Designed by Colonel Ronald MacPherson in 1856, St Andrew’s Cathedral is Singapore’s largest cathedral and the most established Anglican place of worship. Located in the bustling Civic District, where modern Singapore began, its design pays fitting tribute to key historical figures. Stained glass windows on the apse honour Singapore’s founder, Sir Stamford Raffles, and other British officials.

In 1942 during World War II, there were frequent Japanese air raids and the cathedral was used as an emergency hospital. It was gazetted as a national monument in 1973. Free guided tours are available for advance booking on Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday from 10.30 am to 3 pm and on Thursday at 3 pm. Its Cathedral Café, which also acts as a welcome centre, is open daily from 9 am to 5 pm.
