Singapore

Time for the smallest country on our trip: Singapore! We didn't really know what to expect and were pleasantly surprised to find a modern yet multicultural city with lots of things to see and do. You could easily spend a week here, but we spent only three nights.



One of our absolute highlights was the Marina Bay area. This is the modern part of the city with tall skyscrapers, the Marina Sands complex and a sunning light show in the evening.





Close to Marina Bay you can admire Gardens by the Bay, Singapore's famous vertical gardens with high, tree-like structures covered in plants. Here too they have a beautiful light show every evening.




We also visited the huge botanic garden with it's beautiful orchid garden - the national flower of Singapore. Did you know Tarja Halonen has an orchid named after her?




And what would a visit to Singapore be without a Singapore Sling?
