Singapore
Pass by
After breakfast (included) spend the morning at leisure. At 2 pm, meet with your guide at the hotel lobby and begin the journey with a short ride to the new yet already iconic Gardens by the Bay: a horticultural oasis nestled within the heart of the city. Marvel at the two cooled conservatories that sit in their midst: the Flower Dome, which replicates the dry Mediterranean climates, and the even more astounding Cloud Forest, a tropical forest complete with its very own waterfall. Next, contemplate the Supertrees’ vertical garden —a series of amazing tree-like structures covered in a variety of over 162,900 plants, including bromeliads, orchids, ferns and tropical flowering climbers. Then discover the roots of Singapore's diverse history and culture through the intricacies of plant life in the themed Heritage Gardens: the Colonial Garden, the Chinese Garden, the Malay Garden and the Indian Garden. It’s then time for a change of scene: continue to Marina Bay Sands —a 57-storey megastructure flaunts the Sands’ SkyPark, situated on the world's largest public cantilevered platform. Its vast, curved-surfboard-like deck envelopes a one-hectare sky oasis, boasting lush greenery and sculptured gardens. Experience the stunning panoramic view of Singapore —there is surely no greater feeling than to stand above Singapore’s grandest structures! Your adventure ends at the Raffles Hotel, also known as the “Grand Old Lady of Singapore”. Here, make yourself comfortable at the Long Bar to taste the famous “Singapore Sling”, a local cocktail invented in 1903. Return to the hotel for the night. Entrance fees to 2 domes at GBTB, Skypark and the Singapore sling cocktail at the Raffles Hotel (Long Bar), all included. Overnight in Singapore. Accommodation at 4* Village Hotel Katong, or similar, on a bed-and-breakfast basis.
