For three consecutive years, The Economist Intelligence Unit has named Singapore the world’s most expensive city. Bad news for budget travelers? Not really. There are numerous activities in the Lion City that do not come with a price tag. Here are some free things you can do in Singapore:
Enjoy outdoor activities Enjoy hiking or cycling at the Southern Ridges Trail and the MacRitchie Forest Trails. Or simply follow the bike lanes around the city and visit pocket parks at every estate. The Singapore Botanic Garden is also a great place for some outdoor fun. If you have more time, you can also make the trip to Pulau Ubin, a quick getaway from the busy city of Singapore.
Walk, walk, walk Popular tourist attractions and iconic Singapore landmarks are right by the Singapore River. Marvel at the modern architecture of the Marina Bay Sands and enjoy the outdoors at the Supertree Grove. If you’re lucky, you can catch a free performance at the Esplanade. Don’t miss the Merlion and the neoclassical architectural landmark, Fullerton Hotel. If you’re up for the long walk, you can also stroll further along the Singapore riverside to Robertson Quay, Boat Quay, and Clarke Quay.
Soak up some history and heritage Walk around Chinatown and Little India to view intricately designed temples. Sample authentic Chinese and Indian cuisines at hawker centers. I never leave Chinatown without having my beef noodle fix. For shopping, go over Mustafa Center where you can buy anything and everything from branded perfumes to electronics.
