Natural landscapes, ancient heritage and Eastern spa therapy are the trademarks of Asian tourism. Thousands of tourists flock to Asia each year to take advantage of these attributes, but if you are the kind of traveller who is kept alive by busy city centres, bustling streets, magnificent contemporary architecture and an electric nightlife, then Singapore is your destination. Singapore is constantly buzzing with world-class events and extraordinary arts and culture feats whilst taking your breath away with its meticulously planned streets, hotels, monuments and landmark buildings. The Central Business District is a distinctive commercial and financial area of Singapore that encompasses all of these attractions and a symbol of the beauty, glamour and artistry Singapore is synonymous with.
Most often called The City as well as the Golden Shoe, the Central Business District is located in the Central Region of the Southern part of Singapore. Land in this area is of high-value and under strict regulation of the Urban Redevelopment Authority, which has carefully outlined various urban planning initiatives in the district. The Singapore River, which runs through the district, is of immense historic importance as it is where some of Singapore's earliest trades took place. Today, the CBD serves as the key area in which all of Singapore's commercial and financial activities take place. Its high density of workplaces and people has resulted in the development of a rapid rail transit network.
Some of Singapore's trademark building and most popular attractions are located in the Central Business District. Skyscrapers crowd the district, but are not allowed to rise above 280 metres due to air traffic regulations. Some of the famous and important buildings in the Central Business District include the Raffles Place, the UOB, the Sail at Marina Bay, the Asian Civilisations Museum and the Peranakan Museum. The streets of the CBD are home to many buildings that still preserve their old faades. Today, these old buildings are successful law, design, and insurance firms, bars and restaurants.
