Visitors who come for its tropical plants, shaded paths and quiet corners will find a visit that suits a slow morning or an unhurried afternoon.
What to see

- Extensive tropical plant collections, spread across the grounds for those interested in the region's flora.
Planning your visit
The gardens are easy to reach from the city and make a good counterpoint to Singapore's urban streets. To check current details before you go, you can call +65 6471 7138. The gardens are also known simply as the Botanic Gardens, the name you may see on signs and maps.
Plan to combine your time here with other parts of the city, as the gardens offer a calm change of pace. Comfortable shoes and water are sensible companions for walking through tropical greenery.
