Traveling to Singapore on a Budget
With innumerable tourist sites, Singapore is world-famous as a tourist hub. Every year a great number of tourists visit Singapore for vacation, and they are always welcomed by the most exquisite attractions of the country. From the moment a tourist arrives, until they leave the country, Singapore charms them with the most extraordinary experiences and hospitality. However, a lot of tourists share the thought that Singapore is a little expensive for a trip. But, local travel bloggers like Au Chat Kwan say otherwise. Let’s look into planning a trip to Singapore on a budget. 1. Making a budget plan Before you travel to Singapore, you need to create a budget plan for your trip. This should include transportation, accommodation, food, and entertainment costs it would take for the time being of your visit. If you are planning to spend the minimum, you could allocate USD50 to USD60 per day, for a town visit, food and accommodation. However, you should remember that for this price, the accommodation that you get would be quite humble. If you are happy to spend some extra cash, you could easily lay your head in a nicer place and go for a short bar-hop, and it would take only USD85 to USD100 per day. If you are on a budget trip, your biggest concern should be accommodation. Nevertheless, a little research could easily get you a place under your budget. 2. Transportation The traveling mode that costs the least in Singapore is public transportation. The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) would easily take you pretty much everywhere for an average cost of USD3 (the cost depends on the distance). <img width="359" src="https://s3.fr-par.scw.cloud/r-upload-5/10259/Au-Chat-Kwan-as-IT-Consultant.jpg"> Anyhow, a smart trick for a tourist would be to buy a Singapore Tourist Pass as it can help you save the money that you’d be spending on one-time tickets. Au Chat Kwan as Freelance Writer -day unlimited pass is only about USD7.5, a two-day pass is USD12, and a three-day pass would go for USD15. However, if you plan not to use public transport in the middle of your trip, you can easily get an EZ-Link card- which is a reloadable card to be used at any train station or 7-Eleven. 3. Tap water is drinkable! One of the things that a lot of tourists worry about when traveling is drinking water. The good news is that tap water in Singapore is drinkable, and you don’t need to spend on disposable water bottles. 4. Visit free attractions. A fact that a lot of tourists are unaware of is that a bunch of popular sites in Singapore have their gates open for free visits. This includes Singapore Botanic gardens and the magnificent beaches of Sentosa Island. What costs the most would be the Flower Dome and Cloud Forest, but you can get into the Gardens and Supertree Grove for free. If you are a backpacker, a little visit around your neighborhood won’t cost you anything. However, East Coast Park, Changi Point Coastal Walk, the Southern Ridges are must-see places. 5. Budget accommodation Lodging expenses don’t come cheap in Singapore. According to your budget, you can either pick a budget hotel or a luxury one. Hotel Mono, Hotel Yan, Hotel Kai are some known budget hotels, and The Bohemian Chic, The Pod, Dream Lodge, and Wink Capsule are also there on the budget-friendly list, that even offers you common dormitories. 6. Eat at the hawker stalls If you don’t intend to spend much on food, you should remember that hawker stalls serve you Singaporean, Malaysian, and Chinese cuisine at a pocket-friendly price. Hawker stalls give you the real experience of Singaporean local life. 7. One-day trip to Sentosa Island Sentosa Island is a must-visit on a Singapore tour. Yet, many budget travelers hesitate to visit, thinking it is expensive. However, if you have USD25 to spare for a cable car to reach Sentosa, you can either pick MRT or opt for Sentosa Express for USD3 to enjoy a ride across the island.
