If you want to make a quick getaway to some serious greenery, the Gardens by the Bay, a five-minute walk from the central business district, is your go-to spot.
A highlight of this 101-ha horticultural park is its two conservatories, the Cloud Forest and the Flower Dome. The cool-moist conservatory that is the Cloud Forest features a 35m-tall mountain covered in plants such as orchids and also sports the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. Meanwhile, the Flower Dome replicates a cool-dry climate and houses plants from the Mediterranean region and also a Flower Field, where the displays change regularly.
