1. Gardens by the Bay
Considered one of the most unique tourist attractions in Singapore, Gardens by the Bay resembles a sci-fi movie set.

Gardens by the Bay are divided into three elaborate sections: Bay Central Garden, Bay East Garden and Bay South Garden. In each area, visitors can enjoy a natural extravaganza of flora and fauna. Make sure you keep this one at the top of your list when in Singapore! With an alien-like appearance, you’ll feel like you’ve stepped into a colorful, friendly, fantasy world. This place must be visited by everyone and is especially recommended for kids and family. It is accessible daily from 5am to 2am.
