Singapore is indeed the land of “Crazy Rich Asians”. There are 3 star Michelin restaurants, multi-million dollar apartments, and luxury brands galore.
But it is also home to some beautiful and free sites!
These are 6 favorite spots:
1. Gardens by the Bay – Supertree Grove
I adore the massive 25-50 meter super trees in the Supertree Grove at Gardens by the Bay. The domes are great but you can also walk around the grounds and the Supertree Grove for free!
đź“Ť18 Marina Gardens Dr, 018953
Closest MRT – Bayfront
2. Buddha Tooth Relic temple
This temple is a historic temple in Singapore’s Chinatown.
Tip that most people miss: The huge Vairocana Prayer Wheel – the largest cloisonnĂ© enamel prayer wheel in the world – is inside the Ten Thousand Buddhas Pagoda on the roof. It’s beautiful and peaceful turning the wheel.Â
đź“Ť288 South Bridge Rd, Singapore 058840
3. Jewel Changi AirportÂ
The world’s largest indoor waterfall – the HSBC Rain Vortex at Singapore’s Jewel Changi Airport is iconic. This 40 meter or 130 foot site is definitely striking and can be viewed from multiple angles, even underneath! Check out this video for some of the great views there.
đź“ŤChangi Airport, 60 Airport Blvd., Singapore 819643
Closest MRT – Changi airport
4. CapitaSpring Green Oasis
Head to this office building for a hidden gem and the best free view of downtown and Marina Bay Sands. Go to the 17-19 floor for a stroll or even do some work. Keep going to the 51st floor for wide open views of the city center.
