Singapore: The magical city in the garden with spectacular super stages!

Singapur, Singapur - Singapore has developed into a remarkable metropolis that is famous as a “city in the garden”. In a remarkable transformation, the city is redesigned by modern architecture and innovative greening, supported by various architectural miracles. The most striking characteristics include the impressive Skywalks and the majestic Supertrees, get the vegetation up and serve the city's renaturation mission. This modern landscape not only attracts tourists, but also illustrates Singapore's strategic approach to integrating nature and urban space.

A central attraction is the Changi Airport, which, with its outstanding cleanliness and the various attractions, represents one of the first sights to experience visitors in Singapore. It is no wonder that this airport takes third place in the ranking of the cleanest airports in the world. Also in the urban area itself, an extremely strict regulation ensures cleanliness. From the "mosquito police", who are looking for larvae in privately used living rooms, to automated robots that patrol in shopping centers - no detail is left to the goal of cleanliness and security.

Supertree Grove and Gardens by the Bay

One of the highlights that are absolutely to be visited are the Supertrees in the Garden by the Bay, a project by the National Park Board from Singapore. These impressive "improved" trees, which are between 25 and 50 meters high, consist of living plants on a stable steel base. Entry into the gardens is free, but a fee is to be paid for access to the Skyway, which runs between the Supertrees. The Skyway not only offers breathtaking views of Marina Bay and the surrounding area, but also enables a visit to more than 162,900 natural plants that are artfully distributed over the SuperTrees canopies.

Visitors should not miss the daily light and sound shows of the Supertrees at 7:45 p.m. and 8:45 p.m. that offer a fascinating spectacle and underline the magic of these architectural miracles. The use of the MRI is recommended for the journey, whereby the Bayfront MRI Station (CE1/DT16) is the best access to the Gardens by the Bay.
