A trip to an island full of wonders in southeastern Asia. Singapore has become a marvel of the modern world by blending nature with futuristic technology. The city crisscrosses rivers and bays, forming a network of connections with wonders at every corner.
GO: Explore an ambitious fusion of design and the natural world. Known as the “City in a Garden”, greening Singapore has been a focus of government attention since 1963. Visit Gardens by the Bay and admire their immense creativity and nature-inspired labor. The iconic and surreal Optimus Tree dominates the landscape, while the Cloud Forest draws visitors into mysterious mist-shrouded encounters.
SEE: Singapore originated as a colonial trading port with strong Chinese, Malay and Indian influences. People of all religions worship here in harmony, and churches, temples and mosques are all located in the same block between Sims Avenue and Geylang Road.
At the Singapore Botanic Gardens, soak up the scent of flowers. This lush paradise was founded in 1859 as an experiment in agriculture, botany, and specimen collection. Orchid breeding here is well established, and there is a national orchid garden dedicated to displaying their thousands of plants.
DO: Walking along the spiral bridge, which is an engineering feat. Inspired by DNA strands, this suspended path curves over Marina Bay. Helix wraps pedestrians in stainless steel mesh, providing a scenic and safe walkway from Marina Bay Sands Gardens Park to Youth Olympic Park.
A stroll from the bridge takes you to Marina Bay Sands Resort. The hotel boasts the world’s largest rooftop infinity pool, which rises to 57 floors where hotel guests can take a leisurely dip. Spanning the rooftops of three buildings, this pool is more than just a place to escape the heat, it is a stunning luxury.
Right next to Raffles Avenue, ride the 165-metre-high Singapore Flyer. Tailor the experience to your wishes – fly with your family, book a capsule for a romantic dinner, or enjoy afternoon tea and admire the city below.
Explore the convergence of Singapore’s culture, technology and sustainable development. The impact of this green city on the future is setting a benchmark for our planet. From a small island in the South China Sea, its ripples can be felt all over the world.
