The Istana

#localhistory The Istana Address: Orchard Rd, Singapore 238823 News flash for you! Istana Open House on 7 May 2022, there is no need to apply for tickets. I only have chances to see Istana from the outside. It is enormous and full of beautiful landscaping. Can you also believe that The Istana is right beside Plaza Singapura Shopping Mall? This is the office of President of Singapore and has always been used to receive and entertain state guests. So it is a high security place and there is always security there. In The Istana, they have more beautiful gardens and ponds. It is so big and there are many segregated areas too. I read that there is also a small golf course inside. The trees outside The Istana are big and tall and you can see that they have been well taken care of by the gardeners. Opposite The Istana, is the Istana Heritage gallery whereby you can learn more about The Istana and history. There are also artefacts displayed over there, usually those gifts presented by the state guests.
