A beautiful area, has nothing to envy to the business district of the most famous cities in the world, a cluster of skyscrapers, banks, offices, but not only, the Central Business District is a very neat, clean place, a difference sometimes colossal compared to some slightly more degraded areas of the city. In addition to this set of well-being I... More

Concrete jungle, not much texture, just a cbd, some good food outlets if you search, easy access to malls - but lacks the vibrancy of a lot of other cbds

I previously worked around the area. There is really nothing to see even if you have a spare day during your visit to Singapore. A complete waste of time. This is one place I would recommend you to avoid at all costs. There's nothing to see here other than ugly old buildings; that's nowhere even close to as nice as... More

Only go there when it is very necessary. This is because traffic could be heavy and difficult to find a parking lot and parking fees are expensive. Have to pay ERP too.

Very busy businesss district, with ongoing building renovations and new building sites. Love the way they try to hide their building sites with a huge painting of a building, pretty smart idea.

The Singapore CBD is ever growing. There is always a new building going up. The walk through the CBD is great fun, who knows where it can take you. On numerous walks we came across Ann Siang Hill, cute hidden temples and club street with historical old terrace houses. Clubs, restaurants and more all hidden within the CBD of Singapore!
