Gardens by the Bay

Gardens by the Bay
The Gardens by the Bay are among the world's most spectacular urban developments. The spectacular park also offers numerous benefits to the environment. Gigantic 'Super-trees' house 158,000 plants that help offset some of the city’s carbon emissions. They also collect rainwater into reservoirs that are used to water the rest of the park. Some of the Super-trees are equipped with solar panels.

Singapore Botanic Gardens & National Orchid Garden

Singapore Botanic Gardens & National Orchid Garden

Even if orchids aren’t usually your thing, the National Orchid Garden, located in the Singapore Botanical Gardens, has a way of winning people over. Orchid lovers will be in paradise, but anyone can appreciate the colourful and captivating species on display. It’s a peaceful escape filled with shaded walkways, lush greenery and winding paths. Visiting in the morning or on a cooler day is a good idea, as the humidity can creep up later in the day and the garden’s slopes can feel a little tiring in the heat. There is an admission fee for entry, but it’s money well spent considering the variety and beauty of the exhibits. Seniors and students enjoy discounted rates. If you’re driving, the Tyersall Entrance offers parking nearby.

Henderson Waves

Henderson Waves

The Henderson Waves bridge is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore, straddling the Mount Faber Park and Telok Blangah Parks, it makes for what is probably the most exciting segment of the full Southern Ridges hike. Make it as long or short as you like; however, it's recommended to enter at HortPark and make your way there through the Treetop Walk. Keep moving west and you'll eventually arrive at a cable car station, from where you can continue on straight to the island of Sentosa.

Mandai Wildlife Reserve

Mandai Wildlife Reserve

Mandai Wildlife Reserve is not an ordinary animal park, it’s Singapore’s hub of wildlife experiences and one of the most impressive conservation destinations in Asia. Spread across several themed attractions, it includes Asia’s largest bird park and the world’s very first nocturnal zoo. You can choose to visit each park separately with individual tickets, or opt for a multi-park pass if you plan to visit all at once. Across the reserve you’ll encounter a range of animals, from elephants and Aldabra giant tortoises to otters, lemurs and cheetahs. There are also dedicated zones that take you on a journey through global habitats, including a slice of Australia with kangaroos and wallabies. The experience doesn’t end with the wildlife. You can dine inside the parks, visit gift shops, and, for something truly unforgettable, stay overnight on a wildlife camping adventure. Booking ahead on the official website is highly recommended, especially during weekends and school holidays.

Universal Studios Singapore

Universal Studios Singapore

This popular theme park combines thrilling rides, shows and immersive attractions inspired by blockbuster films and TV series. Universal Studios Singapore is open daily from 10am to 5pm.

Jewel Changi Airport

Jewel Changi Airport

Singapore's Changi Airport has won multiple awards. It was voted 'Best in the World' for 7 consecutive years, and the jewel in its crown of regalia is the world's tallest indoor waterfall, fittingly called just that: Jewel. The waterfall comes down from the roof, creating a breathtaking vortex which recirculates rain water. The Rain Vortex is surrounded by a multiple-level display of tropical flora, including various species of blooming orchids; the top level features a family-friendly canopy park, and there are dozens of further shopping and entertainment venues around. You don't often hear of city residents doing day trips to the airport to simple spend time there, but it certainly is the case here. You'll see many making the trip to Changi with no luggage whatsoever, with the sole purpose of visiting the Jewe.

Marina Bay Sands Observation Deck

Marina Bay Sands Observation Deck

The iconic Marina Bay Sands dominates Singapore's cityscape, and is probably the city-state's most recognisable attraction. The imposing structure consists of three towers with a continuous lobby at the bottom, open to visitors, and topped with a spectacular SkyPark that links them all at roof level. The infinity pool is no longer accessible to those who aren't staying at the Marina Bay Sands Hotel, but the rooftop bar is, and so is the separate Observation Deck area, access via Tower 3 basement.

This is a wonderful hotel with a great atmosphere, a museum and beautiful gardens. Food is important at the hotel, where the cuisine is world-class. For anyone who wants to learn to cook like the great chefs, courses are given at the Raffles Culinary Academy. Just outside the entrance stands, perhaps, the world's most photographed doorman.

Esplanade

Esplanade

At the mouth of the Singapore River lies the Esplanade, a performance art centre featuring a concert hall, a theatre hall, recital and rehearsal studios, as well as outdoor performance spaces. Casually referred to as 'the Durian' because of its resemblance to the famous tropical fruit, the architecturally stunning building boasts some of the world’s best acoustics. Even with no one on stage, this is a great spot for lunch or afternoon tea at the neighbouring Esplanade Mall.
