Gardens by the Bay — self-guided tour

An aerial view showcases a cityscape with a prominent waterfront. The image features a large body of water in the foreground, reflecting the sky and surrounding structures. On the left, a park with unique structures and lush greenery contrasts with the modern architecture of the city. The skyline includes tall, modern buildings, with a distinctive hotel complex, the Marina Bay Sands (MBS) hotel, dominating the center, along with dome like structures by the Gardens by the Bay. The sky is a mix of blue and clouds.

The world-renowned Gardens by the Bay span over 100 hectares of reclaimed waterfront, and embody Singapore’s vision of being a City in a Garden. Walk or cycle at your own leisure (bicycles can be hired for a small fee), or find a quiet spot to enjoy the waterfront views. A selfie or wefie with the towering Supertrees is a sure way of showing you’ve been to Singapore.

We are providing complimentary admission to the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome, the two iconic conservatories at the heart of the Gardens. The Cloud Forest is home to one of the world’s tallest indoor waterfalls, and the Flower Dome, the world’s largest glass greenhouse.
