While Orchard Road is lined with high-end cafes and malls armoured in glass, Singapore’s iconic street is in fact just steps from scenic parks and open spaces. Discover a slower-paced side to life in Singapore, with a guide to the best locations for picnics and romantic walks near Orchard.

Singapore Botanic Gardens

A UNESCO World Heritage Site just a short stroll from your luxury hotel near Orchard, the Singapore Botanic Gardens is a tropical paradise. Set up a picnic by Swan Lake, admire colourful blooms at the National Orchid Garden, or take a romantic walk beneath towering palms.

Fort Canning

Rich in history and greenery, Fort Canning’s leafy trails and heritage landmarks create a charming backdrop for peaceful strolls. The famous spiral staircase, the “tree tunnel”, is a favourite for romantic photo moments.

Penang Road Open Space

Situated between Dhoby Ghaut and Orchard, this open lawn offers shady trees and a large grassy space. Located minutes from hotels like Pan Pacific Orchard, it’s perfect for a quick city escape or picnic.

Telok Blangah Hill Park 

A little further away from other spots near Orchard, this park’s elevated trails and connecting Henderson Waves bridge offer scenic views and a tranquil setting for a romantic walk above the treetops.
