If you are hesitant to go on this trip because of the expenses, you should stop worrying now. Here we list down ways in which you can enjoy Singapore without breaking your budget.

Accommodation

If you look at some of the travel tips around the net, you might see some who would say not to sacrifice the quality of the accommodation just to make the budget work for the trip. This is true, in fact, this article will echo those sentiments. You are traveling to feel relaxed and be energised, and part of that is choosing a good accommodation. People think that accommodation is limited to just hotels, but there are many ways in which you can get affordable accommodation that offers good quality service, especially in Singapore.

There are budget and boutique hotels that offer a city centre location and hotel luxuries for a budget friendly price. You can also look for BnBs by searching in the web or going to the popular website called AirBnB. They have posts from private property owners who are renting out their place for travelers like you. Hostels are also a good choice for affordable accommodation, and there are many trusted properties in Singapore. However, if you really want to stay in a hotel, go directly to their promotions page to look for discount deals.

Commuting

Just like everywhere else in the world, a cab ride will always be on the pricey side. But do not worry, because you will love riding the train or the bus in Singapore. It is completely organised so you really would not have any reason to get lost. If this is your first time, remember to bring a city guide with you so you know your stops, and always be on alert.

Eating local food and going to free attractions

Not only is it the best way to immerse yourself in the culture, but it is also much more affordable than eating at restaurants serving food you have access to at home. There are a lot of hawker centres in Singapore that serve delicious local cuisine, some are even exclusively healthy. Then you can walk towards the many free attractions like Mount Faber, Merlin Park, Sri Mariamman Temple, and Merlin Park.
