The Istana (completed in 1869) is the official residence of the President of the Republic of Singapore (Tony Tan Keng Yam at the time of this writing). It is also where the offices of the President as well as the Prime Minister of Singapore (Lee Hsien Loong at the time of this writing) are located. |

Known as Government House during Singapore’s colonial days, the stately Istana is only open to the public for visits on five holidays. Be sure to enjoy a stroll on the beautiful grounds if the opportunity presents itself. An impressive Changing of the Guards Ceremony takes place once a month on a Sunday (with the exception of July and August) at the Istana Main Entrance. |
