Families For Life | Fullerton Heritage Trail

Singapore’s history as a successful international trading centre can be traced through the iconic colonial buildings and monuments set around Clifford Pier and Singapore’s Waterfront.

Spend an afternoon on foot with your family and take yourself back to the days when Sir Stamford Raffles was establishing Singapore’s first modern civic and administrative precinct.
