Why we recommend it

Opened in 2012 on reclaimed land beside Marina Bay, Gardens by the Bay spreads across 105 hectares and has become the defining image of modern Singapore. The outdoor gardens and the Supertree Grove, whose vertical gardens rise between 25 and 50 metres, are free to wander, while the Flower Dome and the misty Cloud Forest conservatories require tickets.

Come late in the afternoon, explore the cool conservatories while the heat peaks, then stay on for Garden Rhapsody, the light-and-sound show in the Supertree Grove at 7.45pm and 8.45pm. The conservatories and the Supertree Observatory each close for maintenance one day a month, so check the calendar before you go. Bayfront MRT station is a short walk away.
