CITY IN A GARDEN
The concrete jungles that once dominated Singapore’s skyline are slowly giving way to green skyscrapers, which look more like living ecosystems than business hubs. Fervently working towards its ‘City in a Garden’ dream, the nation is ploughing money into becoming more sustainable and, well, green. Head out of town a little and you’ll find plenty of walking trails, treetop jungle bridges, wildlife galore and the city's green jewel, the Unesco World Heritage–listed Singapore Botanic Gardens: these are the lungs of Singapore.

Features
Attractions in Singapore are extremely diverse. From the sober architecture of the city-state's religious edifices to the swirling and colourful markets to unique entertainment features such as the Singapore Flyer you'll see that Singapore doesn't do things by halves. And there's plenty of Mother Nature to appreciate as Singapore sensibly has still kept its 'lungs' in the form of wildlife parks and sanctuaries. The city's rich culture and heritage is seen through the prism of its impressive and striking architecture and the mix of a successful and busy modern-day city and an Asian hub of attractions is a unique and refreshing one.
Universal Studios Singapore
One of the Premium Experiences you can opt for the is Singapore’s iconic theme park, the Universal Studios Singapore! Scream your lungs out at Battlestar Galactica, step into the fairytale wonderland of Far Far Away, or cause mayhem with the Minions. There’s no way a day at Universal Studios Singapore can’t cheer you up!
Singapore Zoo
In the award-winning Singapore Zoo, you can see over 2800 animals up close! Set in beautiful wildlife environments, you can feed the giraffes, watch elephants do tricks or jump aboard the guided tram. With open enclosures to resemble the natural habitats of the animal, it feels as though you’re strolling in the wildlife with the animals.
Gardens by The Bay
Not just an iconic Singapore destination, Gardens by the Bay is also a world-famous futuristic park that has pushed the boundaries on what a park should or could be. One of the most picturesque places in Singapore, you can discover flora and fauna from all over the world in one place.
In the midst of the beautiful water gardens are also the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest conservatories where you will experience the beauty of nature like never before.
Singapore River Cruise
Hop aboard the rustic bumboat as it takes you along the river in a 40-minute boat cruise. You will pass by some of Singapore’s famous riverside locations like The Merlion, The Esplanade, Marina Bay Sands, Clarke Quay and more. Watch the towering skyscrapers of the CBD and make sure to snap lots of photos during the ride.
Listen to the commentary about the sights as you pass by them and feel free to disembark at any jetty along your journey!
Luge & Skyride
Not quite a go-kart but not quite a sled either, the Luge is a unique ride that was invented in New Zealand. Race down the specially-built 1.2km track on the Luge and feel the thrill as you whizz past other riders. When you’re at the bottom, you can take the Skyline all the way up and enjoy the scenic view of the city skyline. Then it’s back down again with the Luge!
