Botanical gardens
Founded in 1859 the Botanical gardens are a green jungle in the middle of the city and UNESCO World Heritage Site. The gardens can be found just down the road from the British Embassy and only a short walk from the shops and MRT, The Botanical Gardens are an oasis of calm in a busy city.

With palm tree parks, jungle walks and waterfalls the gardens have something for everyone and with multiple entrances you don’t need to walk through the whole park to get to where you want to be. A big tourist destination is the Orchid Garden. With over 1000 species and over 2000 hybrids you cannot fail to be impressed by gorgeous arches or trailing orchids and waterfalls.
If you’re looking for a place to eat you have plenty of options with nine cafes and restaurants situated around the gardens and two quick stop shops for snacks and drinks. If you have time pay a visit to the Corner House. Serving lunch and dinner through the week with the addition of brunch on a Sunday. The food has a French influence whilst balancing protein and plant elements.
A beautiful setting not to be missed.
