Blue Beauties 2026

Travel back over six centuries to the golden age of the Ottoman Empire at Gardens by the Bay’s Blue Beauties floral display, where over 30 varieties of hydrangeas in hues of blue and purple set the stage for a journey through one of Türkiye’s most magnificent civilisations. Marvel at a recreation of the iconic Topkapı Palace, once home to Ottoman royalty for nearly four centuries and now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The walls are richly adorned with motifs inspired by blue-and-white Iznik tiles – the empire’s most celebrated ceramic art, whose signature palette is echoed throughout the display. -gardensbythebay
