Singapore is a cosmopolitan city-state that became independent from the British in 1965 and is now one of the world’s leading economic centers in shipping and banking.

Singapore is expensive by Southeast Asian standards with everything costing about double what it does elsewhere in the region.

While most people come here for a couple of days just to “do” Singapore and check it off their bucket list, over the past few years, the city has shed some of its stuffy nature and become a much more fun and cosmoplitian city.

There’s a growing cocktail and foodie scene here. Lots of activities are popping up too.

Singapore is one of my favorite cities in the world and a destination I love looking forward to so I can all the hawker food, Indian food, delicious seafood, and wander the lovely hiking trails in the north and sit on the beaches in the south.

Singapore rocks – and deserves more time than you plan on giving it.

Singapore Travel Guide: Money Saving Tips

  1. Take public transit – Travel on public transport is just $10 SGD ($7 USD) per day for tourists with a Singapore Tourist Pass. This will get you unlimited rides on a number of buses and trains.
  2. Eat on Smith Street – The stalls here offer food for less than $6 SGD ($4 USD) and are a great place to sample local snacks.
  3. Eat cheap – Save money on food by eating in Little India, Chinatown, or the hawker stalls throughout the town. Meals in these places cost only a few dollars.
  4. Couchsurf – Use Couchsurfing to stay with locals who have extra beds and couches and stay for free. I use the service a lot and find it not only saves me money, but I meet great people too. There’s nothing better than having a local guide to show you the ins and outs of the city!
  5. Stick to happy hour – Alcohol is expensive in Singapore, which means you’ll want to limit your drinking. If you do plan on having a few, stick to the happy hours where you can find buy one, get one free deals.
  6. Avoid bottled water – The tap water here is perfectly fine to drink, so avoid buying water and just refill your bottle. It will save you money and it’s better for the environment!
  7. Take a free walking tour – Companies like Singapore Footprints offer free tours around the city, These are a great way to explore and learn about the culture, history, and architecture of Singapore.
 

How to Get Around Singapore

Train – Singapore’s Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) is the fastest and best way to get around. The rail network is very extensive, so most of the city’s main attractions are within walking distance to an MRT station. Most trips will cost around $4 SGD ($3 USD), but you can buy a Singapore Tourist Pass which gives you unlimited travel for one day for $10 SGD ($7 USD), two days for $16 SGD ($12 USD), or three days for $20 SGD ($15 USD). Note: there is a $10 SGD/$7 USD deposit that’s returned if you return the card 5 days after purchasing it.

Bus – Like the MRT, Singapore’s bus system is very extensive and efficient. You can use your Singapore Tourist Pass on the buses as well. You can also pay with cash, but it has to be the exact change. A single trip will cost between $1.40-2.50 SGD ($1-2 USD).

Trishaws – Trishaws (like rickshaws) are less popular these days in Singapore, but you’ll find them along most of the tourist routes. They’re now managed by a queue system called Trishaw Uncle. You’ll pay about $40 SGD ($30 USD) for a 30-minute run.

Taxi – Taxis are comfortable and convenient, but they’re not cheap! All cabs are metered, but there might be surcharges depending on the company and where you’re going (for example, if you’re hiring a taxi from midnight to 6am there is a 50% surcharge on the total metered cost). Prices start around $3 SGD ($2 USD) and then about $0.22 SGD ($0.15 USD) for every 400 meters.
