Answer for The most popular parks & gardens in Singapore

Singapore is not nicknamed “City in a Garden” for nothing! Here are the most popular parks and gardens in the Lion City:

Image: Gardens By The Bay

Gardens by the Bay is the first thing that comes to mind when talking about gardens in Singapore. It is very popular because it can be enjoyed by kids and adults alike. It is also easily accessible from Marina Bay and by MRT through the Bayfront station. What I like most about Gardens by the Bay is that you don’t have to spend so much to enjoy the place. You can roam around the Supertree Grove and its surroundings without paying anything. For S$8, you can climb up the Skyway and get a good view of the gardens. A ticket for both Cloud Forest and Flower Dome costs S$28.

Image: Nisah Cheatham

Another garden that I highly recommend you to visit is Singapore Botanic Gardens. Again, I love the fact that you can enjoy over 10,000 species of plants absolutely for free. The Singapore Botanic Gardens first opened in 1859 and you can learn more about its olden days through the free Heritage Tour which happens every 4th Saturday of the month. You only need to register 15 minutes before the start time. You can also explore the National Orchid Garden for a minimal fee of S$5. The botanic garden is located in Central Singapore and is serviced by Botanic Gardens MRT Station.

Then, Bukit Timah Nature Reserve, which is Singapore’s largest forest reserve and home to 40% of the nation’s local species of flora and fauna. Singapore’s highest hill, Bukit Timah Hill, is located within the reserve’s 163-heactre area. I have tried trekking up the hill and it is well worth the effort. I’ve even taken some selfies to show them on my FaceBook 😊 You can also go mountain biking or rock climbing if you’re up to it. Bukit Timah Nature Reserve is accessible by bus or MRT through the Beauty World Station. Admission is free.

MacRitchie Nature Trail & Reservoir Park is also popular among sports enthusiasts and nature lovers. This park is free for everyone to enjoy and it is brimming with activities like hiking, kayaking, and fishing. I haven’t tried the Treetop Walk but my friends swear by it. Maybe someday I will muster the courage to walk 25 metres above the trees through a 250-metre long suspension bridge. That is equivalent to a 7-storey building! You can visit this park by bus or MRT through Caldecott MRT Station.

Lastly, Fort Canning Park, the smallest park on this list but it is the most historically significant. It was once the home of Malay Kings and it also served as the headquarters of the Far East Command and British Army. Check out the underground Battle Box where Singapore was surrendered to the Japanese during World War II. I also recommend a visit to the bungalow of Sir Stamford Raffles and the Spice Garden. Entrance to Fort Canning Park is free and it is accessible by MRT through Fort Canning, Clarke Quay, and Dhoby Ghaut stations.

Answer for Best area to stay in Singapore for tourist

Singapore is a small city state that has a super-efficient public transportation system. Going from your hotel to a popular tourist spot won’t be a problem. However, there are certain areas that are recommended depending on your budget and preference.

Image: hin255/123rf

My most preferred area to stay in is Chinatown because of the availability of affordable hotel choices. It is also within walking distance from Marina Bay and the Central Business District. Another plus is the presence of hawker food stalls that offer a wide variety of affordable food choices. After a heavy lunch, I try to burn off the calories by walking around, exploring the temples and street markets.

Image: Wenjie, Zhang

A short distance from Chinatown is Marina Bay, where most of the iconic Singapore landmarks are located. It has a beautiful view and is accessible to many shops and restaurants. Popular tourist attractions in the area include Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay, ArtScience Museum, Esplanade, Singapore Flyer, and Merlion Park. Staying here could be pricey so be prepared to spend a good amount for your room.

If you are on a tight budget, then you should stay at one of the hostels at Little India. My backpacker friends always stay here whenever they visit. The neighborhood shows a different aspect of the city and gives travelers a taste of India in Singapore. Don’t miss the bargains at the shops and make sure to get a taste of authentic Indian cuisine.

Image: Shangri-La’s Rasa Sentosa Resort & Spa

Sentosa is recommended for families on vacation. Universal Studios, S.E.A. Aquarium, Adventure Cove Waterpark, Trick Eye Museum, and Skyline Luge are all located here so there is no lack of fun and family-friendly activities to choose from. Accommodation at the island is a bit on the higher end. Beach lovers will love the beachfront, resort-type hotels here.

If you love to shop and you have the money to spend, then Orchard Road is the choice for you. This 2-kilometre shopper’s paradise is lined with malls, luxury brand shops and 5-star hotels. Ngee Ann City, Paragon, and ION Orchard are just some of the top shopping malls located along Orchard Road. You can take a breather from shopping by visiting the Istana Heritage Gallery at Istana Park or the Singapore Botanic Gardens located beyond the western end of Orchard Road.

Answer for Fun Free Activities

I had the chance to visit Singapore earlier this year and here are some of the free things that I enjoyed during my visit.

On the top of my list is Gardens by the Bay.

While the domed attractions require an entrance fee, you can explore the Super Tree Grove with absolutely no cost. The Skywalk also costs some money but I was content with staying under the shade of the Super Trees and taking selfies with the beautiful surroundings. You can stay until evening to catch the spectacularly lit Super Trees during the Garden Rhapsody.

Another free attraction in Singapore is the Botanic Gardens, which I like most.

You can easily spend the whole day in this lush greenery with abundant wildlife. You can also find here the National Orchid Garden which costs a mere SGD5 for adults. Children under 12 years old can get in for free.  Not bad for a chance to see over 1,000 species of Singapore’s national flower. You might even chance upon the regular free concert of the Singapore Symphony Orchestra!

If window shopping is your thing, you can take a leisurely stroll along Orchard Road.

This shopping street is dubbed as Asia’s most famous and stretches for over 2 kilometres. You can find almost anything here: shopping malls, restaurants, hotels, art galleries and more! Don’t worry, the line of huge angsana trees and the pedestrian mall will keep you covered from the scorching Singapore sun.

If you are a health buff like me, you can take an afternoon jog or walk around Marina Bay.

Singapore’s popular landmarks are located here so you can make a few stops and take a photo. You can start from the Esplanade and walk towards the grandstand, cross Helix Bridge, pass by Arts and Science Museum and Marina Bay Sands, and head towards One Fullerton. Your last stop will be at Merlion Park where you can take your Instagram photo with the Merlion Statue!

Another one of my favorite free activities in Singapore is watching the sunset from the Esplanade Roof Terrace. No words can describe the breathtaking view as you watch the sky change colors while the Singapore skyline lights up and transforms before your eyes!

From the Esplanade, you can take a short walk towards the Event Plaza along the Promenade to watch the amazing light and water show called Spectra.

It runs for 15 minutes every night at 8PM. This show is a wonderful display of modern technology that will dazzle you with a colorful symphony of lights, water, and music.
