What it is
Singapore's first UNESCO World Heritage Site — a 19th-century tropical garden that's been in continuous operation since 1859, free to enter and genuinely used by locals for morning walks, not just tourism.
The National Orchid Garden
A ticketed section within the wider gardens, holding one of the largest orchid collections in the world, including hybrids named after visiting heads of state.
Practical notes
Multiple entrances connect to the surrounding Tanglin and Holland Village areas — check which gate is closest to where you're coming from.
