Clock Tower Climb with VCT & VCH tour

With slightly overcast skies that afternoon, we were getting increasingly worried about not making it up to the very top of Victoria Concert Hall’s iconic clock tower 🏫 (it would be inaccessible in the event of rain due to safety considerations) Our guide thus made the very considerate call to let us head up the clock tower right at the start of our hour-long tour, before visiting Victoria Concert Theatre & lastly, Victoria Concert Hall. Several staircase & two ladder-like climbs later, we were atop the 54-metre clock tower for a glimpse of the five majestic bells 🔔 that weigh a grand total of 5000 kg. These bells have played the same Westminster jingle since 1905, chiming every 15 minutes, and they complete the full melody every hour 🎶 As we proceeded to the foyer of Victoria Theatre, I was also impressed with a stunning Rubik's cube-like installation, formed entirely by recycled theatre seats from the 1950s. Many still retained their individual numbers, spray-painted in white, which only served to evoke more old-school vibes & an invaluable nostalgic look 😍 Tours are open to the public with selected dates each month, priced at $30 per person.

Victoria Concert Hall

Victoria Concert Hall Address - 11 Empress Pl Ambiance/Facilities - Heritage building in Singapore Highlight - Historic concert hall Attended a classical concert at one of the oldest buildings in Singapore. Built in 1862 and restored in 1905 ,Victoria Concert Hall is one Singapore oldest performing art venue. Conveniently located at a 10 min walk from city hall mrt station. The concert hall itself was not big and the stage was rather small, compared to other performing venues in Singapore. One thing I don't understand is the security officer does not allow me to take photo in the building, when it’s suppose to be a place of interest in Singapore. A must for any one to visit at least once if the life time
