Singapore: Flower Dome at Gardens by the Bay
In Singapore, I also visited the Flower Dome, which is a giant conservatory at Gardens by the Bay. The Flower Dome wasn’t on my initial itinerary, but was raining outside, and I had a couple of hours to kill, so I decided to go. The flowers were beautiful, and walking through the Flower Dome was a very pleasant, almost surreal, experience.
On a platform, one stair up, was a collection of baobab trees of all shapes and sizes. Some of them almost looked human and I wondered whether I should shake hands or give them a high-five and introduce myself. Oh, and I also saw some really feisty-looking cactuses looking like they were ready to attack, any moment.
What impressed me the most was how they manage to keep all those flowers alive. When I think of how I struggled to save the plant in my living room (it passed away a couple of weeks ago, I’m still mourning), I’m even more amazed by the Flower Dome.

Singapore might be small, but when it comes to hotels, it punches way above its weight. From stylish boutique hotels in Chinatown to ultra-luxury skyscrapers with infinity pools (yes, that pool), the city has something for every kind of traveler.
Whether you're here for the food (I get it), a long layover, or a full-on city break, it’s worth staying somewhere that makes the most of Singapore’s compact, super-efficient layout. Good location, great design, and strong air-con—those are my non-negotiables here.
Here’s a link to browse hotels in Singapore—hope you find a place that makes you want to stay just a little longer.
