If there’s one place that has witnessed and thrived through some of Singapore’s most historical milestones then that has to be Fort Canning Park.
Heritage
If you’re interested in discovering the history of Singapore, especially in relation to the Second World War, then the Battle Box at Fort Canning is an essential experience. It was once a British Command Centre and is now a museum.
Tranquillity
The park is a significant green lung of the city, and every day hundreds of visitors visit the park for the natural seclusion it offers. The rich greenery and sprawling lawns of the park have made it very popular among artists and creative types.
Photography
If you love snapping pictures of your travels then Fort Canning is definitely the place to take some spectacular shots. You’ll find everything from historical marvels, to natural splendour and plenty of culture to chronicle.
The Spice Garden
Fort Canning was the home of Singapore’s first experimental botanic garden that was founded by Sir Stamford Raffles in 1822 with the purpose of evaluating crops of economic importance. If you’re interested in botany and find yourself vacationing at a nearby City Hall hotel in Singapore along the likes of Grand Park City Hall then a Fort Canning Spice Garden Tour is highly recommended.
