According to TripAdvisor, the winners of the Travelers’ Choice Awards were selected based on reviews and ratings collected over a 12-month period.

The Best of the Best title recognises the “highest level of excellence in travel”.

Only less than 1% of the 8 million listings on the website are able to accomplish this distinguished milestone.

Gardens by the Bay ahead of New York’s Central Park & Italy’s Duomo di Milano in ranking

Gardens by the Bay sits comfortably at eighth place behind iconic destinations like the Louvre Museum in France and the Colosseum in Italy.

On the other hand, it is ahead of New York’s Central Park, Brazil’s Christ the Redeemer, and Italy’s Duomo di Milano.

Boasting more than 60,000 reviews and an average rating of 4.5 out of 5 stars, Gardens by the Bay is one of Singapore’s most prized attractions.
