Three city gardens

From the first station to the final station; travel to and from your hotel is excluded.

Compare the Botanic Gardens, Fort Canning and Gardens by the Bay, allowing food and hydration breaks.

This route connects Singapore Botanic Gardens north, Fort Canning Park, Gardens by the Bay outdoor gardens.

Singapore Botanic Gardens north

Explore the northern gardens from Bukit Timah Gate; the more distant Orchid Garden is not included.

Station code: DT9

Enter through Bukit Timah Gate and keep this visit focused on the northern gardens. Choose a shaded stretch and study trees and planting instead of trying to cross the entire site.

The Orchid Garden is outside this short northern route. If it is your priority, allow a longer internal walk and reduce later shopping or other stops.

Suggested visit allowance: 95–115 minutes

Fort Canning Park

Walk hillside gardens and historic trails; expect slopes and steps.

Station code: DT20

Let gardens and historic traces guide this hillside walk. Pause where something interests you instead of repeatedly climbing up and down for a particular photo spot.

Slopes and steps make this more demanding than a flat stroll. Wear suitable shoes and allow breaks; consult the official map for a suitable route if travelling with a stroller or mobility needs.

Suggested visit allowance: 80–100 minutes

Official visitor and transport information — Fort Canning Park

Gardens by the Bay outdoor gardens

Explore lakeside paths and the Supertrees; this stop excludes paid aerial walks and conservatories.

Station code: DT16

Slow down here: start with a lakeside stretch and use the Supertrees as your walking destination, noticing how planting and built structures shape the garden.

An outdoor walk and a paid attraction visit need different budgets. This route allows for the ground-level gardens; add time and check tickets separately for an aerial walk.

Suggested visit allowance: 70–85 minutes
