28-6-2024 (SINGAPORE) In a remarkable achievement that showcases Singapore’s world-class attractions, the iconic Gardens by the Bay has been named the eighth-best attraction in the world by TripAdvisor’s 2024 Travelers’ Choice Awards. This cherished urban oasis, boasting an impressive average rating of 4.5 stars, has earned its place among the most prestigious destinations globally.
TripAdvisor’s Travelers’ Choice Awards are highly coveted, as they are determined based on reviews and ratings collected over a 12-month period from millions of travelers worldwide. The “Best of the Best Things to Do — Top Attractions” category recognizes the highest level of excellence in travel, with only a select few – less than 1% of the 8 million listings on the website – able to accomplish this distinguished milestone.
Gardens by the Bay’s eighth-place ranking is a testament to its enduring allure, nestled comfortably among iconic destinations like the Louvre Museum in France and the Colosseum in Italy. Remarkably, it outshines renowned attractions such as New York’s Central Park, Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer, and Italy’s Duomo di Milano.
With over 60,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, Gardens by the Bay has cemented its reputation as one of Singapore’s most prized attractions. TripAdvisor notes that the gardens resemble a “fantasy land,” offering “special exhibits, eye-popping sculptures, and interactive activities that are fun for the whole family.”
Singapore stands as one of only two Southeast Asian countries with an attraction on this prestigious TripAdvisor ranking, the other being Cambodia’s iconic Angkor Wat, which secured the 12th spot. Across Asia, notable entries include China’s Mutianyu Great Wall (19th), India’s Taj Mahal (22nd), and Japan’s Fushimi Inari-taisha Shrine (24th).
