If you’re on a budget trip to Singapore, an island city then it can be a tad expensive.
Suddenly, you might wonder how it can be possible; however, some of the best experiences on the island nation is in fact, free.
Let’s have a look at best ten things to do while keeping your pockets happy:
1. Climb along The Southern Ridges
Mount Faber is the door to the one of the best walk in Singapore. It takes you to the gently sloping hills of Mount Faber Park, Telok Blangah Hill Park, and Kent Ridge Park, in the midst of gorgeous greenery and mini forests to the stretch of 9 km. Along the way, you’ll find a scenic view of the city skyline, the South China Sea, and the islands.
If you’re not okay with the hiking for such a long stretch, then do only the first leg of the hike that takes you to the stunning Henderson Waves Bridge.
2. Fly a kite at Marina Barrage
Marina Barrage is a reservoir encompassed by beautifully landscaped parks. A rare place in Singapore, where you discover a few families picnicking and flying kites. You can even witness a spectacular sunset against the surroundings of Singapore Flyer, Marina Bay Sands, and dozens of kites spinning in the sky.
3. Marvel at Gardens by the Bay
Gardens by the Bay are the latest addition to the Singapore skyline, surrounded with Supertrees. They named as Supertrees as they’re giant, albeit artificial trees, capable of using solar energy to light themselves at night, and harvesting rainwater to irrigate the surrounded flora and fauna. Walk in between them will amuse you.
4. Walk around Chinatown
Chinatown is a traditional stophouses with colorful walls, and tiny windows line the street. It is a charming blend of old and the new.
5. Spend twilight at Labrador Park
Would you like to escape from the hustle bustle of the city? Then, head to Labrador Park near by Pasir Panjang. You just need to pay for the World War II Fort and its artifacts. Also, you can sit over the rock edges of the fort at sundown to hear the waves crash against the cliff to make yourself happy.
6. Have a beach day at Sentosa
At Sentosa, you can spend your day by having a sunbathe or even swim gently into the waves.
