Gardens at the Bay
The amazing Gardens by the Bay, the photos of which have impressed many inquisitive internet users. The striking green garden stretches over an area of 101 hectares. But it’s not the size that impresses people, it’s the design of the park itself. Instead of the usual greenery, visitors are welcomed by tall towers shrouded in vegetation. The towers are interconnected by an aerial pathway called the “sky paths”. On the ground, however, there are huge winter gardens.
Night Safari
Sometimes creative people find it difficult to find a muse to create something new. That’s when they try to diversify their lives, to add new emotions. If an ordinary walk in the park is no longer enough, visit a night safari. Here you are sure to find inspiration.
This service is provided in the lush secondary rainforest. This is the world’s first nocturnal zoo. It has a total population of 2500 animals. Of this number, 130 species live in their natural habitat, meaning without cages or other barriers.

Museum «ArtScience»
Museum ArtScience is an amazing place that can surprise you before you even get inside. It’s all thanks to the impressive architecture of the building in which the museum is located – a lotus-shaped house.
Inside, the space is no less majestic. There are 21 galleries spread over its expanse, which have hosted exhibitions of the world’s legendary artists: Leonardo da Vinci, Salvador Dali, Vincent van Gogh and others.
The walls of these halls have seen not only the amazing creations of artists and sculptors, but also numerous scientific exhibitions. These include exhibitions on the study of elementary particle physics, palaeontology, marine biology, cosmology and space exploration. The museum also frequently organises exhibitions in partnership with galleries and museums from all over the world. For example, exhibitions in partnership with the British Museum and Museum of Science in London, the American Museum of Natural History in New York, the Biblioteca Ambrosiana in Milan and many other institutions.
Esplanade
Many tourists dream of visiting Sydney to see the Sydney Opera House, which is known for its architecture and good location. But for some reason, so little is said about the Esplanade, the city’s centre for the performing arts.
This structure attracts attention with its unusual facade, which is slightly reminiscent of the shape of a spiky tropical durian fruit. This is what the locals call it, by the way.
The jewels of the centre are the 1,600-seat concert hall and the theatre, which has a seating capacity of 2,000. Even if you’re not a theatre aficionado, it’s worth a visit near the building. Its geometry is sure to give you fresh ideas.
Changi Airport
This might seem strange, as an airport is usually associated with flights, long queues at check-in, noisy crowds of people, mountains of suitcases and the harrowing wait for a flight. And what could be so surprising, and even more inspiring, about an airport? Trust us, Changi Airport is an amazing place to be remembered for a lifetime!
Now in its fifth consecutive year, the airport has been voted the best airport in the world. It has an amazingly beautiful interior. A glass ellipse-like building offers visitors a tropical paradise, complete with butterfly habitats, Balinese-style rooftop pools, all-day movie theatres, even a spa.
Many visitors try to arrive at the airport well in advance of their flight to enjoy the amazing greenery and entertainment options within Changi Airport.
