- If you are taking public transport, go for Tanglin gate and Bukit Timah gate.
- If you are driving, Tanglin gate, Nassim gate and Tyersall gate are great because you can find car park there.
I would
recommend Tanglin Gate (public transport and driving) and Nassim Gate (driving)
as these gates are nearer to many popular attractions such as
Swan Lake, National Orchid Garden and
Ginger Garden.
Bukit Timah Gate is furthest away from many popular attractions. However, it is only 30 m away from the Botanic Gardens MRT station and bus stop.
