Of course, not everybody plans on spending all their time cooped up indoors this summer. Nature lovers especially will want to get out there and enjoy the warm sunshine and clean, fresh air as much as they can. With the June 29 opening of the highly anticipated Gardens by the Bay, they’ll have the opportunity to do just that in what promises to be one of Singapore’s most idyllic settings. What’s more, the Gardens are ideally located for Marina Bay Sands’ guests, with direct access from the hotel via the Lion’s Bridge and Marina Bay Promenade.
