3D2N in Singapore: What to Do, Where to Stay on a P15,000 Budget

That's enough to visit Singapore's highlights. by Kyzia Maramara | November 07, 2022

Bird’s eye view of Gardens by the Bay from Marina Bay Sands SkyPark in Singapore.

Singapore is one of the best countries to visit for Filipinos planning a quick and affordable vacation abroad. Aside from it being visa-free, city public transport is so efficient it’s easy to get from one place to another. You’ll also never run out of attractions to visit — explore the stunning Gardens By the Bay , Singapore Botanic Gardens , ArtScience Museum , Universal Studios Singapore, and more. Although Singapore could get pretty expensive (a bottle of water costs SGD 2 or PHP 82!), there are ways you can budget P15,000 for three days and two nights of fun.

That’s exactly what we did in the Lion City and here’s what we found out:

• More Tips for Your Singapore Visit

1. Singapore Fast Facts

Chinatown is bustling day or night.

• Currency: Singapore Dollar (SGD 1 = PHP 41.30 as of Nov 2022)
• Tax Refund: 7% refund for tourists on Goods Services and Tax (GST) on a $100 from participating stores
• Wi-Fi and Connectivity: Free Wi-Fi at most locations but you can also rent a pocket Wi-Fi or buy a Singapore sim card (better option)
• Language: English and Singlish, Malay, Tamil, Mandarin Chinese
• Weather: Hot and humid all year round with an average temperature of 30 degrees Celsius. But tourists should still prepare for rain at any time.
• Best Time to Visit: All-year round is great but December to June could be the best because of cooler temperatures and year-end festivities
• Power Plug: 220-240 volts AC; Use power plugs with three square prongs
• Important numbers: 999 for police, 995 for ambulance and fire brigade

2. Getting to Singapore

Cebu Pacific’s NEO Airbus (new engine operation) has plenty of leg room, reclined seats, and charging ports.

Cebu Pacific Air has multiple flights daily to Singapore Changi Airport from Manila’s Ninoy Aquino International Airport and the Mactan-Cebu International Airport. Take an early morning flight (5:40 AM is the earliest from NAIA) so you can maximize your time to explore the city.

We also recommend taking a red-eye flight going to and from the Philippines to Singapore . Cebu Pacific has flights leaving as late as 9 PM to Singapore and as early as 12:45 AM to the Philippines. That way you’ll have the whole day the next day to enjoy. Here’s what your schedule can look like:

• Day 0 – 9 PM flight, 1 AM touchdown Singapore
• Day 1 – 24 hours to explore
• Day 2 – 24 hours to explore
• Day 3 – 20 hours to explore, 9 PM/12:45 AM flight, 1 AM/4:45 AM touchdown Philippines

That’s easily three whole days in Singapore! Book a flight here.

3. Getting Around the City

Use your EZ-Link card to board any MRT line and bus route.

From the airport, you can get to the city via train or booking a Grab. If you’re on a budget, taking trains and buses is the best way to go. In our 3-day stay in Singapore, we never once booked a Grab or took a taxi (they could get expensive).

Singapore’s MRT and bus transport system is impressive. They have over 130 stations across six MRT lines with an over three million daily ridership. (Metro Manila can only dream!) You can pay for both the subway and the bus with an EZ-Link card you can purchase online or at kiosks in Changi Airport.

You can use your credit card at the MRT automatic fare collection gates.

If you love walking, you’ll love Singapore. Think BGC but on a bigger scale. There are wide sidewalks everywhere with overhead shelters so even if it rains, you almost never need an umbrella unless it’s to cross a road. We spent about 40% of our time in Singapore walking from Point A to Point B which isn’t too bad for your health and your wallet.

4. Singapore Travel Requirements (as of November 2022)

Cebu Pacific flies daily from Manila to Singapore and vice versa.

Now that travel restrictions have eased up, it’s even easier to fly to Singapore. Here’s what you’ll need:

• A valid Philippine passport
• Vaccine certificate from the Department of Health (online)
• Accomplished Singapore Arrival Card (online)
• One Health Pass/eARRIVAL Card (online)

Vaccination Certificate

Before you sign up for your SGAC, you need to have a vaccine certificate first since they will require you to attach that document to your submission. Go to the DOH’s VaxCertPH portal. The details you need to provide are your contact info and the dates and vaccination sites of your first, second, and booster doses. You’ll immediately get a QR code which you can either screenshot or save as a PDF.

Singapore Arrival Card (SGAC)

Travelers should submit their SGAC at least three days before their flight to Singapore . For example, if you’re flying out on December 12, you can only submit your SGAC from December 10 onwards. To get yours, you can fill out the form on Singapore’s Immigration and Checkpoints Authority website. Details you will need to share include your passport, contact, and vaccination info, and details about your travel and accommodation in Singapore.

If you’re traveling with a group, you can do this individually or do a group submission with one representative for up to 10 persons.

eARRIVAL Card

When it’s time to fly back home, you’ll need to present an eARRIVAL Card (previously called One Health Pass) to enter the Philippines. You can also accomplish this online for free via the DOH Bureau of Quarantine website . The eARRIVAL Card will need details such as your flight number, date of departure and arrival, entry ports, vaccination details, and other personal details. Once done, you can screenshot the QR code.

5. Singapore Budget Stay

Cube Boutique Capsule Hotel is the perfect accommodation for those traveling on a budget.

During our stay, we booked our accommodation with Cube Boutique Capsule Hostel in Smith Street, Chinatown. If you’re traveling with your friends, a capsule hostel is the best option to save money. Our room had eight capsule bedrooms, a mix of single and double beds. It was almost fully booked but we didn’t have a problem sharing with other tourists who mostly kept to themselves.

There are 8 capsule bedrooms in this room.

We didn’t have to worry about storage, there’s plenty of it. There’s a huge bottom locker for luggage and inside the bedroom, there are foldable tables plus two spacious lockers with combination locks. A night light in the corner makes sure the cube is bright and there’s also a large mirror above two sockets. For privacy, you can roll down the shade which serves as a door. The air conditioning unit was working well despite being in a closed capsule room.

Cube gives each guest complimentary towels, water bottles, and a toothbrush. On our floor, there are eight bathrooms, each with its own hair dryers and toiletry supply. The bathrooms are clean and smell good, and the best part is they have a bidet. We also didn’t have problems using the bathroom despite having about 20 tourists sharing them.

Breakfast at Cube was a great way to kickstart your day. They offer brewed coffee, bread with options for spread, eggs, cereal, fruit, and Singapore noodles.

And if you’re traveling with your family, Cube also has a Family Boutique Capsule Hotel a few steps away with the cutest double-decker beds. You can look up rooms here .

6. Best Places to Visit in Singapore

Gardens by the bay.

Visiting the Supertree Grove is free but walking the OCBC Skyway and the Supertree Observatory requires a fee.

This lush mountain inside the Cloud Dome is home to different plant species.

Even if you only have 24 hours to explore Singapore, we would still recommend you drop by Gardens by the Bay. It’s a glorious blend of flora and fauna with Singapore’s iconic structures and architectural marvels. Twelve towering Supertrees light up at night for a captivating Garden Rhapsody. During the day, you can walk the OCBC Skyway through the giant vertical gardens or check out the Supertree Observatory at the garden’s highest point.

This is the second-tallest indoor waterfall in the world next to Jewel Changi Airport’s HSBC Rain Vortex.

At the Flower Dome, it’s always springtime with its stunning and fragrant floral displays. Meanwhile, the Cloud Dome observatory houses a 35-meter indoor waterfall and a lush mountain of exotic plant species. Pro tip: Bring a jacket if you get cold easily since the temperature actually drops in these cooled observatories.

While the Supertree Grove is free, we booked our tickets to Flower Dome and Cloud Dome here .

Singapore Botanic Gardens

Singapore is home to a wide range of biodiversity even in the middle of a bustling urban city. They’ve got over 300 parks and lots of nature reserves and conservation areas. It’s a haven for plantitos and plantitas. Singapore Botanic Gardens is another must-visit destination. The tropical garden was built in 1859 and is located a short drive from Orchard Road, Singapore’s shopping district. Walk around the 82-hectare property and take in nature. Oh, and did we mention entrance is free ?

Merlion Park

What’s a visit to Singapore without posing at the iconic Merlion Park? From the small statue, you get a panoramic view of Singapore’s greatest attractions including Marina Bay Sands, the Supertree Grove in the distance, and the Helix Bridge.

ArtScience Museum

Tip: Make sure you bring a camera that has great night mode to capture awesome photos at the ArtScience Museum.

Save space on your itinerary for a trip to the ArtScience Museum. The permanent exhibition “Future World: Where Art Meets Science” is full of digital interactive installations. If you’re coming with family, kids will enjoy the teamLab-powered projections and artworks, Crystal Universe, the interactive fruit field slide, and the Sketch Aquarium. Kids will 100% love the Sketch Aquarium. Visitors get to color sea creatures and have them digitally scanned and brought to life in the giant digital aquarium.

Make sure to check out ArtScience Museum’s website for special exhibits before you visit. We booked our tickets for PHP 760 here .

Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck

It was a cloudy day for a visit to the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark Observation Deck.

You might not have the budget to book a room at the five-star luxury Marina Bay Sands hotel but guests can visit its SkyPark Observation Deck on its 56th floor. Enjoy panoramic views of Marina Bay and the Singapore skyline. You’ll even get a bird’s eye view of Gardens by the Bay, Singapore Flyer, and more. And if you stay until the evening, you’ll be dazzled with the nightly outdoor light and water show,  Spectra .

You can book a ticket for PHP 953 here .

Universal Studios Singapore

Allot an entire day on your itinerary for Universal Studios Singapore, the first and only one in Southeast Asia. There are about 30 rides to cycle through and dozens of shows to check out. And even if you’re not a fan of rides, you’ll still enjoy the sights and the vibe from the different zones — Hollywood, New York, Sci-Fi City, Ancient Egypt, The Lost World, and Far Far Away. Make sure to book your tickets online and in advance for discounts. And if you want to make the most of your time, consider going for the Express Pass and paying a little extra. Trust us, it’s worth it!

You can book a ticket for PHP 2,817 here .

You could maybe squeeze in a Sentosa half-day trip but it’s one of Singapore’s destinations that’s better reserved for a whole-day visit. Sentosa Island is a resort island with tons of options for attractions, beaches, dining, and relaxation. You could visit Adventure Cove Water Park, S.E.A. Aquarium, or Madame Tussauds Singapore. Spend some time on Sentosa’s three beaches — Siloso, Palawan, and Tanjong. Try the Skyline Luge or iFly Singapore — the list is endless!

Get a Sentosa Fun Pass for PHP 4,142 here .

Haji Lane is a hip alley in the heart of Singapore’s Kampong Glam neighborhood, a short walk from Bugis MRT. The street is filled with independent shops, quirky cafes, and hole-in-the-wall food spots. We even saw a self-photo studio! Allow a good hour or two roaming around the place. We’re sure you’d want to take endless photos with the colorful street as the background. Walk a little further and you’ll find yourself in Arab St., another textile landmark shopping and dining strip.

Jewel Changi Airport

Pro tip: Allot at least three hours of your schedule for going around Jewel Changi Airport. It’s a destination in and of itself where you can play at attractions, take tons of photos at iconic landmarks, dine, shop, and even stay at the YOTELAIR. Changi has been voted the best airport for 8 years in a row until it was usurped by Hamad International Airport in Doha, Qatar in 2021.

At the heart of Jewel Changi Airport is the iconic HSBC Rain Vortex flowing 40 meters down to the basement making it the world’s tallest indoor waterfall. It’s surrounded by plants from the Shiseido Forest Valley . While waiting for your flight, you can also play at the Walking Net, Discovery Slides, Bouncing Net, Mirror Maze, Hedge Maze , and Canopy Bridge .

Tickets for Jewel attractions start at PHP 250 and you can book them here .

8. Budget Breakdown: 3D2N for P15,000

This budget does not include the following:

• Roundtrip flights from Manila to Singapore*
• Philippine Travel Tax – P1,620

*You can watch out for Cebu Pacific promo announcements on Facebook to snag affordable flights.

Here’s how we budgeted P15,000 per person based on the 3D2N itinerary:

• Hostel for 2 nights – PHP 4,440/pax (Booked via Booking.com)
• EZ-Link (around SGD 30) + Sim Card (PHP 393) – PHP 1633.64
• Gardens by the Bay + Marina Bay Sands SkyPark – PHP 1,780
• ArtScience Museum – PHP 579
• Universal Studios Singapore – PHP 2,817
• Food expenses for 3 days – PHP 2,000/pax
• Pasalubong – PHP 1,000

Total = PHP 14,249.64

9. More Tips for Your Singapore Visit

• Book your accommodations as early as 3 months from your flight so you get cheap prices.
• Consider skipping the SGD 38 unlimited EZ Link card if you’re not planning on going to lots of places anyway. We did a 3D2N stay in Singapore and rode the MRT and bus for more than 20x and still only spent around SGD 30 in total.
• You can use your credit card practically everywhere. You can even tap it directly on the MRT turnstiles (Just make sure you’ve called your provider in advance and let them know you’re going abroad!)
• Download CityMapper to help you navigate around Singapore. It displays accurate times for MRT and bus arrivals too.
• Exchange a small amount of money at the airport (NAIA or Changi) and do the bulk of your exchanges in kiosks in Singapore. Just search for the nearest money exchange.
• Bring a tumbler with you so you can go for water refills. Water bottles in Singapore cost around SGD 2 (PHP 82)!
• Going for a red-eye flight might be the best option to maximize your Singapore visit. Cebu Pacific flies multiple times a day to Singapore with red-eye flights late in the evening or early morning. That way you’ll still enjoy a whole day’s stay!

If you are planning to go to Singapore, here’s our suggested itinerary for 5 days and 4 nights and the possible expenses for your entire stay in Singapore.

Before we proceed, there are a few things that we recommend that you should have:

4G Prepaid Sim Card

Data roaming service is quite expensive and unreliable at times, we highly suggest getting a prepaid SIM card to easily access the internet wherever you are in Singapore. You can buy it online and pick it up at Changi Airport . It only costs Php406 with 100GB of data.

Klook Pass Singapore

The Klook Pass Singapore gives you access to 2-7 attractions with just one pass for a discounted rate!

You can buy it in advance here . The price ranges from Php3,043 for two attractions to Php8,283 for seven attractions.

Singapore Itinerary and Expenses

Day 1: Fly to Singapore from Manila, Cebu, or Davao

• If you can fly in the morning, it will be nice so you can start exploring right away. If you fly from Davao or Cebu, the flight usually arrives late at night so you’ll have to start your day early the next day.
• Check-in at your hotel or hostel. We suggest staying near a bus stop or MRT station so you can easily move around. You can check out affordable hotels or hostels in Singapore and book in advance to get a cheaper rate.

Possible Expenses:

• Travel Tax: Php1,620
• Travel Insurance: Php1,100

Day 2: Resorts World Sentosa / Vivo City

A visit to Singapore is not complete without going to Sentosa Island. They have an ongoing promo where you can access the island for free via the Sentosa Express Monorail until 31 December 2022.

There are many activities you can experience at Resorts World Sentosa. The most popular attraction is Universal Studios Singapore , Southeast Asia’s first and only Universal Studios theme park featuring thrilling rides. You can also visit the S.E.A Aquarium , Dolphin Island or the Adventure Cove Waterpark .

After exploring Sentosa, you can also go shopping at Vivo City since you will be passing by the mall if you are taking the Sentosa Express. There’s also a food court near the Sentosa Express station where you can feast on authentic Singaporean and Malaysian dishes.

• Universal Studios Singapore entry ticket Php2,832
• Train Fare to/from Vivo City Php100-200

Day 3: Chinatown, Merlion, Marina Bay Sands, Gardens by the Bay

• Explore Chinatown, buy pasalubong, visit Buddha Tooth Relic Temple and the Sri Mariamman Temple
• Lunch and more shopping at The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands

Spend your fourth day in Singapore shopping or just window shopping, whatever floats your boat! ION Orchard is a popular mall in Singapore where you can find luxury brands. Just across ION Orchard is Lucky Plaza where you can meet a lot of Filipinos on Sundays. There’s a Filipino restaurant inside the mall if you miss eating Pinoy dishes.

The ION Orchard Food court is also worth a visit. There are a lot of stalls where you can sample both Asian and Western cuisines.

In the evening, you can take the Singapore Flyer to get a birds eye view of the Singapore skyline.

• Singapore Flyer ticket: Php869

Day 5: Botanic Gardens, Jewel Changi, Fly Home

If your flight is in the afternoon or evening, you can check out the Botanic Gardens in the morning. Then, make sure to head early to the airport so you can visit Jewel Changi and see their indoor waterfalls. You can pay SGD5 and get access to the Canopy Park at the 5th level.

• Canopy Park at Jewel Changi: Php200
• Meals: Php1,000-1,500

Total Possible Expenses

• Flight: Php10,000 to Php20,000 – the earlier you book, the cheaper the cost
• Accommodation: P8,000 to Php40,000 – if you stay in hostel, you pay less. If you decide to stay in a hotel, check out the Little India or Chinatown area for cheaper rates.
• Meals: Php6,000 should be a decent amount. If you go on a food trip, you’ll have to prepare more
• Transportation: Around 1,000-1,500 should be okay if you only take buses and trains. If you plan to take taxis, it’s quite expensive so you’ll have to spend more.
• Tours & Attractions: Php5,000 is a decent amount but if you want to see more attractions, you’ll have to prepare more like around Php10,000-15,000.
• Travel Tax, Travel Insurance, SIMCard: Php2,126
• Buffer / Pocket Money: Php10,000

To sum it up, you will need at least around Php25,000-30,000 excluding your flight ticket to go to Singapore.

Top 5 airlines serving from manila to singapore.

The cabin was quite noisy as there were lots of children travelling for the school holidays. Found the selection of movies limited.

Delayed, not enough information. Had to ask for refreshments, crew could have been more proactive

The best so far coz this time it was all male steward on the economy cluster. They were polite, efficient & genuinely courteous. They do not judge you when you ask for more food & peanuts.

Delayed for 45 minutes. Don't know what's the issue. Other than that, food was not to my satisfaction. However it's okay.

My first course flight (Aor-Kul) was cancelled in the morning, and they asked me to board the night flight hence I need to transit overnight for the 2nd flight (Kul-Myy) that supposed to be on the same day. The overnight stay was not provided, (I'm traveling with my spouse, a daughter (5 y.o.) and an infant (2 months old). Hence I booked Sama Sama Hotel at my own expense (fortunately using my enrich miles points). Other than this issue, all services is good.

Orange juice change to mineral water . Should keep the orange juice.

Entertainment system was too old, crew were unorganised during boarding

No recognition for one World Emerald member. Business class seat has flat bed

No recognition for one World Emerald member. I got row 1 in business class and it was pathetic. No leg space, cramped space, less recline

Legs space in the business class cabin is too small and pillow is dirty!

Upgrade their seats. They’ve got 20-year-old business class seats in their 777s. The food choices. On the way to Manila and the way back I thought we’re lousy compared to other carriers. The staff was fantastic and very happy.

Continual rescheduling of flights, inflight entertainment system did not work, staff not pleasant to interact with.

So far pal express is much better than Cebu pacific in terms of customers service and in flight crew. And on time departure and arrival . Especially if you're taking airbus 320 plane . But the small aircraft like bombardier . It usually delayed .

We did booked shorter layovers but flights changed and layovers are too long good thing Philippine Airlines give us a hotel in manila but here Vancouver to Calgary too long layovers and there is enough sets to wait closer to air canada and they will open 4am.we were here 1 am .our flights schedule for air canada 8:10am.we paid expensive flights but not happy of lay over Vancouver to Calgary.

Biz class is way below what other airlines offer. The food was mediocre at best. A WiFi was intermittent and movies were dated. Honestly the best part of the trip was that the Mabuhay lounge in SFO was closed and they gave us pass to Air France lounge. My advise, fill up there before boarding plane.

Not a pleasant experience from the start of booking first flight all the way through to the actually flight. Only saving grace is the food.

No power on an 11 hour flight? What a joke. Crew did not come by enough to get trash or offer water.

Checking in was okay but boarding a little bit slow

There is a problem with the sound while watching movie or listening to the music ( the sound is static & goes on and off). Aside from the sound, the experience was good & stewardesses are nice.

Not leave 12 hours late. This airline is horrible always late does not refund upgrades for cancelled flights inept counter staff.. needs to be shutdown

Terrible, I will never ever ever attempt to fly on Cebu Pacific. I understand that it’s a cheap flight option but they take cheap experience to the next level.

The front desk and early check in was fantastic and the flight did not have any turbulence

better handling of the checked in luggage. they destroyed mine

Should’ve not separated those who checked-in online and those who checked-in at the airport

the process of paying for the excess baggage weight, the check in process and the boarding process are subhuman. this is an airline devoid of customer service

Cebu Pac has a habit of changing boarding gates. They do a lot of remote boarding. So just be attentive to the announcements, especially if it's near your boarding time.

It was a low cost flight, so no high expectations. The experience was average.

Crew was very helpful because I used a wheelchair to get around

Flight was delayed for almost 30 minutea, I had difficulties to catch up the connecting flight. Bit due to tje well organized Singapore airport I was able to make it

The flight was delayed for 3 hours and I missed my transit flight.

If you are over 170 cm, i would implore you to select an exit row or front row seat. You will not be able to sleep. Extremely uncomfortable.

My second consecutive experience of flight delay between 1.5 and close to 2hr. Resulting upsetting my biz agenda and additional expenses on local transportation to catch up

Expensive Poor check-in process staff only arrived 2h before boarding which is not a par with international standards Cabin was overly warm No seat Pocket No in seat charging No entertainment No WiFi option Slow cabin service Limited purchasing options Boarding was good Staff were presentable Flight was safe and on time

The flight attendants were not passing out soft drinks. They skipped a lot of rows and passengers were complaining.

The boarding a bit late but overall no drama. Will fly with jetstar again someday for sure.

seat legroom was quite narrow, so i could feel the person’s knees behind me.

Honestly, I Wouldn’t fly Jetstar if I had a choice.

Paid top dollar, and outrageous add ons to get squeezed into an uncomfortable seat with the least leg room possible. Probably best to avoid air travel whenever possible, maybe forever.

They lost my luggage. Doesn't exactly make the experience great.

Leg room is just too short and food costs and is not good quality. But the big issue was they said that my luggage would be transferred to the next flight, so no need for me to exit customs, get a visa and reboard. However that didn't happen and my luggage is still, 2 days later, in Denpasar. So whilst the flight went on time and was fairly average, I think that the cost vs quality is not good enough.

6hrs fly they dont give you a glass of water from seoul to singapore need to buy drink and food plus they charge for bag on international fly is always Free 1 bag from seoul to singapore is Not a local fly you are traveling true asia same story from singapore to Bali no water drink after payment for bag drink cost more the regular airline Well never use this company again we use regular company like Delta korea japan China and even scoot parent company Singapore Air

We had 2 attempts to land at Singapore Changing during a thunderstorm. Everything was delayed by 1 hour plus.

Boarding was not accordingly after front seat, bmf then back seat. This delayed for at least 40mins or more. The staff at Jakarta can do better. Is chaos at the entry to board the plane. This tarnished Scoot reputation when everyone was talking about it.

The crew was not customer oriented at all, even confrontational . The aircraft needs more attention to detail as far as comfort, and the 1 hour sitting at the gate with no air is inexcusable

We flew on the 787 Dreamliner direct to main gate at KLIA2, quick entry via eGate and on the train 41mins after touchdown. Go well SCOOT

Was on scoot plus. The only good thing about the flight was the spacious seats. Tables and armrests were extremely dirty Food: bad Entertainment: non existent Wifi: unable to connect, then was painfully slow that we couldn’t even send messages Good thing we had a night flight, so we just slept throughout.

Not clear why boarding passes could only be issued at the counter and not through the kiosk. I had already check-in on the web, so waiting to obtain a boarding pass 1.5 hours before the actual flight defeats the purpose of early web check-in.

no charging point. food offering is limited and very much on the budget line. Overall is not satisfying for such a price and duration of flight.

We were delayed, but there was never any update given. Everyone was standing at the gate as boarding was supposed to commence at 13:10 for a 13:55 flight. We didn't actually start getting on the shuttles to the plane, until after 14:00. No updates, no information given at all.

Scoot refused to change my flight even though I had booked a flexible ticket. MyTrip wanted to charge me an extra $271 for a ticket that was only listed as $217. I complained about this to scoot and they didn't give a shite. So never again will you be getting money from me Scoot. You can Scoot off.

Singapore Travel Tips and Reminders

• Travel time from Changi Airport to Singapore City Center by private car is around 30 minutes and around 45 minutes by train. Plan your trip accordingly.
• You can exchange your Philippine Peso or US Dollars in the money changers at the airport or at the city center. Exchange rate at the airport is low, it's better to change your money at the city center. Alternatively, you can also withdarw money from the ATMs.
• For electricity, most establishments and hotels use 3-pin square plugs and sockets at 220–240 V. Don't forget to bring a universal adapter.
• If you're on a budget, avoid eating in restaurants. It's best to look for hawker stalls (like a food court) where you could eat a decent meal for around $3-5 SGD. The best hawkers that I could suggest are the ones around Chinatown area for its wide selection of tasty and affordable meals.
• Weather in Singapore is most of the time hot and humid. It is suggested that you wear light and breathable clothes. Also, don't forget to bring an umbrella or raincoat for occasional rains and thunderstorms.
• Singapore is a very walk-able city. When exploring the city, you will certainly walk a lot. It is best to wear comfortable footwear.
• Taxis / Grab car/taxi are expensive. Choose a hotel that is near an MRT Station, so it will be easier for you to move around. With an MRT station near your hotel, it's cheaper to get to one destination to another, not to mention it's also faster.
• Eating and drinking inside the bus and MRT is prohibited.
• Chewing gum is not allowed in Singapore. Make sure you're not bringing-in any chewing gum when entering Singapore.
• Cigarettes are too expensive in Singapore (around 400 pesos). You can bring cigarettes from the Philippines to Singapore, but don't bring too much. One opened pack and one sealed pack "may be" allowed.
• GST refund can be availed by tourists on goods and services purchased in Singapore. Keep your receipts and refund it at the airport before your flight. This will save you more on travel expenses.
• To save on travel expenses, book discounted tickets at Klook, join group tours, take the bus or the MRT, walk if you can, stay in hostels or budget hotels in Singapore , and take advantage of flight seat sales and promos .

Is Singapore Expensive To Travel To?

Singapore ranks as  one of the most expensive  destinations in Asia. Although it offers affordable food at hawker stalls, it also has a relatively high cost of living, costly accommodation options, and pricey attractions and entrance fees.

Along with Japan and Hong Kong, Singapore is often considered a  luxury destination  in Asia.

However, with advanced planning and the willingness to forego certain experiences, Singapore  can be visited on a tighter budget .

💰 Trip Daily Budget for Destinations in Asia

For comparison, I visited these countries in Asia within a year of visiting Singapore, and here’s how much I spent per day at each one:

*My Cambodia daily budget is high because I splurged on accommodation.

See all my daily budget for each destination I’ve visited .

How Much Is a Trip to Singapore?

This section covers estimated trip costs depending on your travel style. I share my actual travel expenses further below.

🎒 Budget Traveler – Singapore Trip Cost

Budget travelers can expect to spend approximately $70 per day or $210 for three days of travel in Singapore, excluding flights.

Here’s what a budget traveler’s cost breakdown can look like:

Traveling Singapore on a Budget

To travel to Singapore on a budget, here are some things you’ll need to do:

• 🏠 Accommodation – For the cheapest option, stay at a  dorm-style hostel for about $25 a night . For more privacy, a private room at a capsule hotel typically costs about $35 a night.
• 🚇 Transportation – Take advantage of Singapore’s modern public transportation, the MRT (Mass Rapid Transit). A metro ticket price varies by distance, but it’s generally less than $3 per ride.

Singapore offers different types of Singapore Tourist Pass that give unlimited rides on public transport.

• 🦀 Food – Eat at hawker centers, which are popular open-air food courts that serve traditional, authentic Singaporean foods. Meals can be less than $5 there.

Tap water is safe to drink in Singapore, as it meets WHO guidelines for water quality. Bring a reusable water bottle to avoid having to buy bottled water.

• 🪴 Entertainment – Singapore has many pricey attractions with an entrance fee, but you can also visit them for free if you’re okay with not paying for the viewpoints or special exhibitions. For example, you can visit Singapore’s most famous tourist attraction, Gardens by the Bay, for free by skipping the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest. I did this, and I still thoroughly enjoyed my visit.
• ☀️ Travel Season  – Unlike many other countries, Singapore doesn’t have a well-defined low season because of its consistently warm weather, making it a year-round destination. For the best deals on accommodations, avoid Singapore’s major festivals (e.g., Chinese New Year in early February) and public holidays.

💰 Mid-Range Budget Traveler – Singapore Trip Cost

A mid-range budget traveler like myself can expect to spend approximately  $140 per day   or $420 for three days  of travel in Singapore, excluding flights. I break down my trip expenses by travel category below.

About My Singapore Trip

To give context to the expenses below, here’s what you need to know about my trip:

• 🗓️  3 days – I spent three days in Singapore, which gave me enough time to see some of the top attractions and go on a day-long biking trip.
• ☀️ High season – I visited Singapore in November, which is considered the high season.

Singapore has two peak seasons : one from November to January and another from June to July.

• ✌️ Group travel – I traveled with one other person, so we were able to split some costs, such as housing.
• 💰 Mid-range budget – I consider myself a mid-range budget traveler, and these expenses reflect that. I don’t aim to travel on a budget, but I’m thoughtful about how and where I spend.
• 🍀 Self-funded – My trips are self-funded, so I paid for everything listed below. None of my excursions or experiences are sponsored.
• 💵 US dollars – All costs listed in this post are per person and in US dollars, converted from Singapore’s local currency, the Singapore dollar.

The exchange rate was $1 USD = S$1.35 at the time of writing.

Singapore Trip’s Total Cost: $630

My three-day trip to Singapore cost a total of $630 , including flights.

💰 Cost Breakdown for Singapore

Here’s a quick overview of my expenses by travel category:

🗓️ Daily Budget in Singapore: $122

My Singapore trip cost $122 per day , excluding my flights from Malaysia and to Taiwan.

A mid-range budget traveler can expect to spend $140 per day in Singapore. This generally means staying at accommodations that cost about $60 per night, eating a mix of hawker stall and restaurant food, and paying entrance fees for popular attractions.

✈️ Flight Cost to Singapore: $218

I usually take round-trip flights from the United States, but I flew into Singapore from Malaysia and out to Taiwan for this trip. Here are my flight costs:

A round-trip flight between the US and Singapore that costs under $800 is considered cheap; international flights typically cost over $950.

🏠 Accommodation Cost in Singapore: $159

My average cost of accommodation in Singapore was $53 per day. I was able to split accommodations with one other person at all times.

I stayed at a hotel near Little India that was a conveniently short walking distance to the Farrer Park metro station.

Accommodations in Singapore are expensive . Well-rated mid-range hotels typically cost between $150 to $200 per night . Luxury hotels, like the famous Marina Bay Sands featured in Crazy Rich Asians, start at around $530 a night.

🦀 Food Cost in Singapore: $156

My average cost of food in Singapore was $52 per day.

A mid-range budget traveler can expect to spend about  $40 per day  on food in Singapore.

Cheapest Meals in Singapore

Here are the most affordable meals I ate during my trip:

The most affordable meals in Singapore are in the hawker centers (e.g., Tiong Bahru, Old Airport Road, East Coast Lagoon Food Village). You can get authentic Singaporean meals for less than $5 there.

Most Expensive Meals in Singapore

Here are the most expensive meals I ate during my trip:

The easiest and best way to discover authentic, delicious food is to go on a Singapore street food tour early in your trip.

🚇 Transportation Cost in Singapore: $19

My average cost of transportation in Singapore was $19 per day.

Here are the transportation methods I took and how much I paid for each:

You can keep transport costs low by using Singapore’s well-maintained public transit system. If you’re staying for an extended period, consider getting an EZ-Link card , a rechargeable card you can use at metro stations, convenience stores, and other businesses.

🪴 Entertainment Cost in Singapore: $34

My average cost of entertainment in Singapore was $11 per day. My entertainment costs are on the lower end because I did many free things and skipped many of the country’s paid attractions.

A typical mid-range traveler in Singapore can expect to spend about  $20 a day on entertainment.

Costs of Activities and Attractions in Singapore

Here are all the activities and attractions I paid for and how much each cost:

Free Things To Do in Singapore

It’s easy to rack up a large entertainment budget in Singapore because many attractions have an entrance fee. You can save money by taking advantage of its free attractions, gardens, and outdoor areas.

Here are six great free things to do in Singapore:

• Singapore Botanic Garden – The garden has no entrance fee and is more like a large park you can walk through. I spent more than an hour walking through it.

• Orchard Road – This road is an iconic landmark and commercial street lined with high-end stores, upscale hotels, and festive decorations around Christmas. You can spend some time window shopping here.
• Changi Airport – Singapore’s airport is considered one of the best airports in the world. The stunning airport has several worthwhile attractions, such as the Jewel.

• East Coast Park – This free park is next to sandy, accessible beaches. You can bike around it.
• Sentosa Island – This nearby island offers free entertainment and attractions, such as beaches, hikes, and a skywalk.
• Light shows – Catch one of Singapore’s impressive light shows (the most famous being Garden Rhapsody at Gardens by the Bay).

Do You Need Cash in Singapore?

Singapore has an  excellent credit card infrastructure , so you’ll only need to carry a bit of cash.

Below are tips on bringing and using cash in Singapore.

💵 1. Withdraw cash in Singaporean dollars.

Singapore’s local currency is the Singapore dollar (S$), and the US dollar is not widely accepted.

Since cash is rarely used , I recommend withdrawing once at the airport so you don’t have to worry about finding an ATM throughout your trip.

🏧 2. Carry about $10 to $15 worth of cash per day in Singapore.

On a typical day, a mid-range budget traveler in Singapore will need at least $15 in cash to mainly cover food expenses at hawker centers. If you don’t plan to eat at hawker stalls or local restaurants, you can likely carry $5 to $10 of cash daily.

I only needed cash in Singapore at hawker stalls, food court places, and small souvenir shops where most items were less than $20.

I keep my cash in my crossbody bag , but if you want extra protection against pickpocketing , carry it in a hidden money belt instead.

💰 3. Tipping is not customary in Singapore.

Tipping is  often appreciated  in Singapore, but it’s completely optional. Tipping is usually not expected as a service charge is already included in restaurant bills.

Entertainment

The business class cabin is really nice - EXCEPT the two interior seats have no divider between them - which makes for a bad experience -especially when the person next to you coughs excessively with no protection. Basically, the person is looking at you and coughing at you the WHOLE FLIGHT. Most major airlines have a sliding divider you can close for privacy and safety reasons. The window seats do not have this problem - so if you book business class and are traveling solo - make sure to get a window seat - I didn't and regretted it.

The Cost of Travel in Singapore: A Detailed Budget Breakdown

You’ve probably heard that Singapore is expensive.

Well, this is one example when you should pay attention to the rumours: Singapore is expensive.

But Singapore is particularly expensive post-pandemic.

I’ve spent the past 12 years exploring this planet as a travel writer so have passed through Singapore on countless occasions, thanks to its position as a global travel hub. I love this country, so whenever I spot a flight that calls for a Singaporean layover, I take full advantage and give myself two or three days to explore.

This glistening island has long been expensive relative to the rest of Southeast Asia, but I’ve always been able to justify its costs; reasoning that they were on a par with Western Europe or the U.S. — and I’m always happy to pay those prices there.

I’ve visited Singapore on all manner of budgets and styles over the years, whether I was a stingy backpacker who was panicking over every spent cent or travelling with my partner on a romantic Valentine’s Day getaway. Most recently, I spent three days in Singapore in 2023 and was surprised by how rapidly the prices have increased.

But of course, they’ve increased everywhere. This year has been my most expensive year of travel to date and it feels like the days of basic, budget guesthouses are starting to evaporate.

That’s not to say that deals cannot be had. I still managed to find plenty of well-priced accommodation, experiences, and meals while I was in town and I’m looking forward to sharing them with you today.

I’ve been recording every single cent I spend in the countries I visit from day one of my travels, because I want to be able to give a realistic and accurate look at how much you can expect to spend in each country you visit.

Here, then, is how much it costs to travel to Singapore:

How to Save Money on the Cost of Accommodation in Singapore

As always with travel, it’s possible to cut your accommodation costs down to zero if you have the time and patience to seek out an offer. And when you see the prices of accommodation in Singapore, you might just be able to find said time!

Couchsurfing  exists in Singapore and allows you to stay with a local for free, sleeping on their sofa and enjoying a local’s insight into life in their country. It’s not the most comfortable of living situations, but if your budget is tight and you don’t mind roughing it, it’s worth sending out a few requests to hosts to see if anything comes of it. You can search for potential hosts on  the Couchsurfing site .

Housesitting  is another option. This is where you take care of somebody’s house for free while they’re away, and usually look after their pets, too. It’s best for long-term travellers or retirees as you can’t pick and choose dates and destinations, so you need to have a lot of flexibility as to where you go and at what time of year. If you do have that freedom, though, it’s a wonderful way to cut down your travel expenses, soak up some home comforts, and live like a local for a while.  Trusted Housesitters  is the best site for getting started with housesitting — they usually have several dozen housesits available for Singapore at any one time, so it’s well-worth having a look to see if any coincide with your travel dates.

I’m suspecting, though, that for most of you, you’re not interested in the free accommodation and just want somewhere clean, safe, and affordable to rest your head each night. If that’s the case, there are several options available for you.

The Cost of Accommodation in Singapore

The first thing I want to note is that Singapore is home to some truly terrible accommodation. Of the 400 properties that are listed on Booking.com, a mere 15 of them are rated higher than 9/10. I don’t think I’ve come across another major city for which this is the case!

My advice, then, is to lower your expectations. My recommendations below are the best of the best in Singapore, but your accommodation here is still unlikely to be life-changing.

The cheapest hostel in Singapore: 7 Wonders Boutique ( $22 per night (S$30/£18/€21) for a capsule bed in a dorm)

This hostel is close to the subway, has fast wifi, and a basic free breakfast. It’s also located in Little India, which is my favourite Singapore neighbourhood! If you’re backpacking around Southeast Asia and travelling on a tight budget, this is a great option. Each capsule is fitted with a computer tray, power point, reading light, clothes rack with hanger, a locker, and a curtain for privacy. This is pretty much the cheapest accommodation in the entire city.

The best hostel in Singapore: Dream Lodge ( $55 a night (S$75/£45/€52) for a capsule bed in a dorm)

When it comes to budget accommodation in Singapore, this country loves a capsule hotel. And to be fair, I tend to prefer them, too. After all, they give you a little more privacy than a standard dorm room and for a lower price than a hotel. Dream Lodge is the best-rated hostel in Singapore and you really do get great value for money here. You’re in a good location, with friendly staff, a basic breakfast, comfortable beds, soundproofing, clean bathrooms, lockers, and all of that good stuff. There’s nothing to complain about here.

The best mid-range hotel in Singapore: 30 Bencoolen ( $164 a night (S$224/£135/€155) for a double room)

I spent days trying to find a mid-range hotel in a good location with modern furnishings, quiet rooms, and friendly staff. It was surprisingly tricky! Eventually I settled on 30 Bencoolen and I was so glad I did! The staff were warm and welcoming, there’s a free breakfast if you join the hotel loyalty program (which is free), and the rooms were calm and quiet. And let me tell you about the rooftop swimming pool! Because there was perhaps no better feeling than returning back after a day of sweaty sightseeing and dipping into those clean waters while overlooking the city. Finally, the location was great, within walking distance of all of the main attractions and close to the metro for everywhere else. All in all, I’m really glad I stayed here.

The best luxury hotel in Singapore: Marina Bay Sands ($500 a night (S$680/£410/€480 for a double room)

If you want all the bragging rights in Singapore then there’s perhaps no better place to stay. The Marina Bay Sands is Singapore; you can’t think of the city without picturing its famous design. Not only are the rooms luxurious and modern, with the best views of Singapore, but you also get access to what is one of the coolest infinity pools in the world. Only hotel guests can access the pool that overlooks the city and trust me when I say: this is a bucket list experience! Obviously, this is quite a splurge, but if your budget does stretch that far, I think it’ll definitely be worth it.

And just a quick note on where to avoid: I had a really bad experience with a Heritage Collection hotel, so I would avoid booking any of their properties. Back in 2022, when my partner and I contracted COVID and couldn’t legally board our flight to Singapore, they refused to give us a refund, which felt harsh and unethical. We lost hundreds of dollars from this, so I suggest steering clear. There are much better properties in Singapore, with far more understanding staff and better refund policies!

The Cost of Transportation in Singapore

Singapore is one of the smallest countries in the world, so getting around is never going to be an enormous expense here. In fact, despite Singapore’s reputation for being expensive, public transport is very affordable.

Let’s dive into the options.

The quickest, easiest, and most comfortable way to explore Singapore is via their metro system, the MRT. You can get pretty much anywhere you’d want to go as a tourist using the MRT and it’s not too expensive either, averaging out at around $1 a ride . To save money, I recommend picking up an EZ-Link card for S$12 . For that, you’ll get $7 of ride credit plus a $5 refundable deposit that you can cash out when you leave the country. With the EZ card, you’ll be looking at paying 30% less compared to buying one-off tickets whenever you need them. You can buy them from 7-Elevens or within the metro stations themselves.

You can also purchase a Singapore Tourist Pass, which gives you unlimited rides on the bus and MRT for $10 (1 day) , $16 (2 days), $20 (3 days) . I personally wasn’t travelling enough to make the pass worth it, but if you plan on sightseeing like crazy, this may be a money-saving option that’ll work out for you.

Buses are priced similarly to the metro, but more complicated to use, so there’s no real reason to use them instead.

If you do want to visit somewhere that isn’t served by the bus or MRT, you’re probably going to end up taking a taxi. Uber isn’t in Singapore, but most people use the Grab app, which is essentially the same thing. It’s simple to use, reasonably affordable ( S$0.16 a minute), and better than standing around waiting for a taxi to drive past. If you’re heading to Singapore, I’d recommend downloading Grab before you leave.

One website I do want to recommend is 12Go Asia . If you’re going to be travelling overland to or from Singapore, this a great site for booking transportation in advance.

I’ve used 12Go throughout my travels in Asia and have only had fantastic experiences with them. If you’re going to be travelling overland to/from Malaysia before/after Singapore, for example, I’d recommend checking out the prices on their site first. You can do so using this form:

The Cost of Food and Drink in Singapore

Oh man, the Singapore food scene is incredible . You can eat so well in this country, and it’s one of the best ways to save money, too. If you eat from the hawker stalls, you’ll be spending less than S$5 for a tasty, fresh meal.

It’s pretty tough to find bad food in this country, too. One of the great things about a country that’s full of tasty meals is that nobody is going to settle for anything less. If you’re serving bad food in Singapore, you simply aren’t going to survive for long.

One of my personal food highlights from my time in Singapore was the food tour I signed up for. In fact, I loved this tour so much that I bought it for a gift for my parents when they came to Singapore this year; that’s how amazing it was! It’s pretty pricey at a cost of $150 per person , but despite that, I still recommend it so highly! After all, the tour has nothing but five stars from hundreds of guests: that shows how great it is.

The tour provided a wonderful introduction to Singapore’s food scene, as it takes you to Chinatown, Little India, and Kampong Glam: the three main neighbourhoods of the city. You’ll learn about the history of Singapore, sample a dozen different dishes, and gain confidence when it comes to hitting up hawker centres and restaurants on your own.

Aside from the tour, the easiest way to save money is at the aforementioned hawker centres. These are covered areas filled with tons of different food stalls, and are super fun and fascinating to spend time in.

So what type of food can you get in these Hawker centres? 

There’s so much on offer! Singaporean cuisine pulls in influences from Malaysia, China, and India, and all of those flavours and spices mixing together makes for some of the best eating on the planet. Chicken and rice is an iconic dish in this country, but aside from that, you’ll find all manner of curries, soups, grilled meat and vegetables, dumplings, salads, fried noodles, seafood, and practically anything you can think of. The fruit shakes and smoothies are also all cheap, fresh, and delicious — so wash down your meal with one of those.

And before you form an opinion that the food that’s served in these places is going to be mediocre, let me tell you that several of the food stands have been awarded a Michelin star! Yes, Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle Stall, in particular, is where you can score the cheapest Michelin-starred meal in the world. At a price of just $1.42 for a plate of chicken and rice, it’s impossible to be disappointed by it. I made this my first meal in Singapore and couldn’t believe how tasty such a simple dish could be!

Speaking of food experiences to dive into in Singapore, a lot of people go crazy over having a Singapore Sling at the Raffles Hotel. This famous cocktail was invented there back in 1915 and if you want to have one in its birthplace, you’ll be looking at shelling out $29 (S$39) for the experience! Speaking of shelling… no, the Long Bar isn’t dirty: it’s just tradition to throw your peanut shells on the ground after eating them! (Yes, I almost complained when I sat down because I thought I’d been placed at a messy table!)

When it comes to alcohol, you can expect to pay around S$20 for a cocktail in a nice bar, and a glass of wine for around S$12 in a restaurant. Fun fact: Singapore is the 6th most expensive country in the world for beer, and you can expect to pay S$12 for a 330ml can. Yeah, alcohol sure is expensive in this city!

Singapore’s tap water is totally safe to drink, so you don’t need to buy bottled water (S$4 for a 1-litre bottle) while you’re in town.

In Southeast Asia, in general, I really don’t recommend cooking your own food, unless you have a strict dietary requirement. Buying ingredients for meals is simply too expensive — you can spend $10-15 on ingredients for a dish that you can get for $4 on the streets.

And as for restaurants, they’re everywhere and reasonably expensive compared to the hawker goodness. A two-course meal with a glass of wine can be around S$40 .

In general, I’d recommend expecting to spend around S$15 a day to have all of your meals/drinks at Hawker centres, and S$30 a day if you throw in a restaurant and cafe every now and then.

The Cost of Activities in Singapore

We’ve covered accommodation, transportation, and food, so the only thing left to take a look at is the cost of activities in Singapore! If you’re not careful, this is the category that can really wreck your budget.

Fortunately, like many cities around the world, it’s possible to spend absolutely nothing on activities and still have a wonderful time in Singapore.

One of my favourite free things to do is wander around Little India — I’m absolutely obsessed with this neighbourhood! Merlion Park is another great area to hang out at and take photos of the skyline. Gardens by the Bay ( $11 entrance fee) is absolutely incredible and should definitely be on your Singapore hit list, as well as the city’s botanic gardens, which has received UNESCO status. If you find yourself with perfect weather and nothing to do, hit the beaches on Sentosa Island! Wandering the Treetop Walk at MacRitchie Reservoir makes for some epic photos and is completely free to do. And, of course, Hawker-hopping your way around town is as much of a tourist attraction as anywhere else in Singapore

As you can see, there’s plenty to keep you busy if you don’t have much money to spend.

Let’s take a look, though, at the prices you can expect to pay for entrance fees and activities across the country.

• Entrance to Singapore Zoo: S$28 ( S$56 with a hotel pick-up )
• Entrance to Singapore Night Safari with tram ticket included : S$55
• Entrance to Jurong Bird Park: S$25
• Entrance to Universal Studios : S$74
• Skip-the-line entrance to Marina Bay Sands Observation Deck : S$20
• Entrance to Sentosa Island for one day: S$70
• Entrance to Singapore Science Centre: S$12
• Entrance to National Museum of Singapore: S$10
• Entrance to Asian Civilisations Museum: S$8
• Private street food tour, sampling 10 local dishes : S$127

Other Expenses for Singapore

A Singapore guidebook :  A guidebook will give you an in-depth look into Singaporean culture, suggest the perfect itineraries for the amount of time you have, and offer recommendations for where to eat and what’s worth doing. I like Lonely Planet guidebooks and their  Singapore offering receives some of the best reviews .

A local SIM card:  I don’t know about you, but one of my least favourite aspects of arriving in a new country is having to figure out how to get connected. Specifically: buying a local SIM card so that I have data to use while I’m in the country.

There’s locating a store that will sell you one, language barriers to deal with, various forms of ID you might need to bring, scams to navigate, and… well, it’s a headache.

This year, I started using  Airalo , which sells local e-SIM cards for travellers. What that means is that you can buy your SIM card online  before  you arrive in Singapore, and then as soon as you land in the country, you can switch on your data and start using it. It’s worked flawlessly for me and now, I’ll never go back to physical SIM cards. You’ll pay  $7.50 for 1 GB of data  or $22.50 for 5 GB for Singapore and can also top-up through the Airalo app.

Make sure you have an e-SIM compatible phone before buying — all recent iPhones and many Androids are.

Travel insurance : If you’ve read any other posts on Never Ending Footsteps, you’ll know that I’m a great believer in travelling with travel insurance. I’ve seen far too many Go Fund Me campaigns from destitute backpackers that are unexpectedly stranded in a foreign country after a scooter accident/being attacked/breaking a leg with no way of getting home or paying for their healthcare. In short, if you can’t afford travel insurance, you can’t afford to travel. These costs can quickly land you with a six-figure bill to pay at the end of it.

Travel insurance  will cover you if your flight is cancelled and you need to book a new one, if your luggage gets lost and you need to replace your belongings, if you suddenly get struck down by appendicitis and have to be hospitalised, or discover a family member has died and you need to get home immediately. If you fall seriously ill, your insurance will cover the costs to fly you home to receive medical treatment.

I use  SafetyWing  as my travel insurance provider, and recommend them for trips to Singapore. Firstly, they’re one of the few companies out there who will actually cover you if you contract COVID-19. On top of that, they provide worldwide coverage, don’t require you to have a return ticket, and even allow you to buy coverage after you’ve left home. If you’re on a long-term trip, you can pay monthly instead of up-front, and can cancel at any time. Finally, they’re affordable, and have a clear, easy-to-understand pricing structure, which is always appreciated.

How Much Did I Spend on My Trip to Singapore?

I always like to share my own personal expenses when travelling in a country, as I think it helps you figure out what you should be expecting to pay each day while you’re there. A list of expenses is great and helpful, of course, but putting them all together in order to come up with a reasonable estimate can be trickier.

Here’s what I’ve spent on average over my month in Singapore:

Accommodation: $27 per day (S$37) Transportation: $10 per day (S$14) Food and drink: $18 per day (S$24) Activities:  $17 per day (S$23)

My average daily cost of travel in the Singapore was therefore:  $72 (S$98) per day . It’s certainly not as cheap as elsewhere in Southeast Asia, but it’s still a lot more affordable than I expected! Had I skipped out on the activities (Singapore Zoo and the Night Safari), it would have been just $55 a day.

We really enjoyed the night safari at Singapore Zoo. The highlight though was when we were walking round and a tram went past to which a child on board pointed at us and the other people waiting to cross the road and said “Look mummy, humans!”. That made us giggle.

We love reading your blog by the way.

WHY aren’t more zoos open at night? Even just one day a week, I feel like this would bring in a lot more business.

The Night Safari is actually a separate zoo, so it’s not just the Singapore Zoo being open at night

This looks unreal! I agree with John – Why aren’t more zoos open at night?!

Hi! I am going to Singapore for a 3 day vacation. If to choose between Singapore zoo and night safari. Which do you think is a better choice?

Definitely the Night Safari!

Can’t wait to do this in a few weeks! Eeeeee!

Flying into Singapore tomorrow and only just starting to do my research! Your post helps us a lot, as we now know what to expect from our visit. Definitely going to be eating in hawker centres for every meal.

Have an amazing trip, Simone! The hawker centres are easily one of the highlights of travel in Singapore, so it’s an added bonus that they help to keep your travel costs low.

One of the reasons why I love Singapore is all of its green spaces and plants. I could spend days just walking around the botanical gardens. It may be expensive, but there are definitely ways in which you can save your money, as you mentioned in this post.

Yes, for sure. And I agree — I’m big into houseplants at the moment, and I’d love to return to Singapore just to take a look at all of its wonderful gardens.

hey Lauren Do you have a hostel to recommend in Singapore?? The OSS Backpackers you mentioned is the best one? Thank you!

Yep! Unfortunately, hostels don’t have the best reviews in Singapore, so if you’re tight on money, I’d recommend the OSS Backpackers :-) — it’s the best option for backpackers/budget travellers.

Thanks for the budget information and also for covering how to get to Malaysia, as that’s the route I’m planning to take. Have to admit the pod hotels sound like an experience and I might try one for a night or two! The fact that it helps save you money makes it all the more appealing.

Absolutely! If you’re planning on spending most of your time outdoors and exploring Singapore, they make even more sense. All you need is a place to sleep then :-)

Thanks for this guide Lauren! I’m working my way south from Bangkok to Singapore over the next three months and your guide was helpful for showing me what to expect when I reach the end. I’m 100% going to stay in one of those capsule pods lol they look so cool!

No problem! I’m happy you found it useful :-) Have a wonderful (and delicious) adventure in Southeast Asia!

Useful post, thanks Lauren. I’m going to be ending my nine months in Southeast Asia (sob) with a week in Singapore and this helped me work out how much money I should be leaving for my final week on the road. Looking forward to heading there and seeing how it differs to the other places I’ve been to in Asia so far.

I need someone to give me estimate number how much it costs me if I need to stay 3 days with my girlfriend. attending a special occasion and sightseeing.

Thanks for this great post about budgeting for Singapore! I’ll be going that way during my RTW trip and it’s good to hear it doesn’t have to be expensive. Great information!

Thanks so much, Cindy! No, it definitely doesn’t have to cost a lot :-)

Thanks for this, Lauren. Another detailed post! I know Singapore is more expensive than neighboring countries, but it’s good to see it can be visited on a low budget too.

Thank you! Yes, Singapore can still be done on a tight budget, and especially with the food!

I completely agree with your observations about Singapore’s rising costs after the pandemic, particularly in the accommodation sector. I appreciate your warning with Heritage Collection; reading about the treatment you got was disheartening, and I will surely try to avoid it. Your recommendations for affordable hostel options like 7 Wonders Boutique and Dream Lodge, are such great finds, and I am eager to check them out on my next travel there.

Your insight on the transportation options like the Singapore Tourist Pass sounds very worth it, with the unlimited rides for up to three days, which by then travelers already get the most out of Singapore. Your exploration on Singapore’s delicious culinary also got me wanting to give a taste on the cheapest Michelin-starred meal by Liao Fan Hong Kong Soya Sauce Chicken Rice & Noodle.

I am curious about your thoughts of the must-visit paid tourist attractions or activities in Singapore other than Gardens by the Bay. Do you think purchasing a Universal Studios ticket is also going to be worth it? Also, have you ever been caught off-guard by unplanned travel costs? How did you deal with it? I would love to know about your experiences and advice!
