The Civic District: Hear stories about Singapore's past on an audio tour

Show all photos
20 to 30 minutes (approximately)
Offered in: English

What do a 'lion-fish,' World War Two and Chinese immigrants have in common? For starters, all three are featured in my Civic District self-guided audio tour. And, all of the above play a role in Singapore's modern history.

If you wish to hear stories about Singapore's past come alive, like the mythical Sea Lion and its links to the Lion City then this is the trail for you. The walk takes you through parts of Singapore's colonial heritage – including visiting some historical personalities - and ends at a point where modern and colonial Singapore intersect seamlessly.
