WHY VISIT AN EVENT TAKING PLACE IN SINGAPORE

Singapore is fuelled by passion and pride. Around every corner, incredible experiences are being crafted, cooked, painted, designed, grown or built by locals who share a common trait: passion. The story of Singapore is one of trials, tribulations and triumphs. In a short span of just over 50 years, it has evolved from a colony to a city-state with its own unique identity, forged by a spirit of never settling. And it’s this spirit that’s imbued into the architectural wonders, lush parks, proud heritage, world-class attractions and amazing food of the cosmopolitan metropolis you see today.

Getting around 

Singapore’s Changi Airport is one of the busiest and best connected in the world, handling over 100 airlines flying to some 400 cities. The award-winning airport itself is jam-packed with activities and amenities, making it a world-class attraction in its own right.

Once in Singapore, the public transport system is fast and efficient and will whizz you to memorable attractions without fuss.

Singapore’s MRT (mass rapid transit) system is probably the fastest way to zip around the city. The extensive rail network means that most of Singapore’s key attractions are within walking distance from an MRT station.

Singapore’s bus system has an extensive network of routes covering most places and is the most economical way to get around, as well as being one of the most scenic.

Taxis are comfortable and especially handy if you want to go to places not accessible by the bus or MRT. They are metered, but there may be surcharges depending on when, where and which company’s taxi you board.

Garden of dreams

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 as well as a Flower Field, where the displays change regularly.
