Batam travel guide

Indonesia · Top sights · trending spots

Batam is an hour by ferry from Singapore and has been a duty-free industrial zone since the 1970s, which is why the resorts and golf are cheap by the standards of the strait.

Seafood is eaten in kelong restaurants built on stilts over the water. The Barelang bridges, six of them finished in 1998, string the island to a chain of smaller ones full of fishing villages.

Top 4 sights in Batam

Ranked by Wikipedia language editions — proven fame.

  1. 1

    Nanyang Technological University

    A research university founded in 1981 on the old Nanyang campus. Thomas Heatherwick's Learning Hub — twelve towers of stacked round classrooms with no corridors — and the art school with a sloping grass roof you can walk up are the two buildings visitors are shown.

    TiqetsKlook
  2. 2

    National University of Singapore

    Singapore's oldest university, founded in 1905 as a medical school and now spread over a ridge campus in the southwest of the island. It is consistently ranked among the leading universities in Asia.

  3. 3

    Singapore Botanic Gardens

    A tropical garden founded in 1859 and the only World Heritage site in Singapore, listed in 2015. Rubber seedlings raised here from 1888 seeded the plantations of Malaya, and the orchid garden holds the largest display of its kind anywhere.

  4. 4

    Marina Bay Sands

    A resort of three fifty-five-storey towers opened in 2010, carrying a platform three hundred and forty metres long across their tops with an infinity pool on it. Moshe Safdie designed it, and it cost around five and a half billion dollars.
