Find cheap flights
No matter where you are planning to take a flight to Singapore, there is always an option to find cheap flights online.
You can research the best and most cost-effective flights that offer discounts for economy and business-class seats. If you are planning to have an adventure in Singapore during the prime time of the year, it can be challenging to find discounts.
But in case you are planning to visit off-season, you can explore several options and discounts.
Use public transport
Once you get cheap flights to your destination, the next factor helping you to save money is using public transport. It is no doubt one of the best ways to get around Singapore on a budget. There are multiple options that you can consider, including train systems, buses, and Mass Rapid Transit.
These services will help you to reach safely to the tourist spot and around the city without charging you a heftier fare.
You can also use city shuttle services if you are planning to change the lines. Public transport is always a safe option but if you want to have an alternative, download Uber for peace of mind.
If you’re traveling from Australia, you can get your money converted from AUD to SGD to recharge the card for public transport.
Don’t drink alcohol
If you’re interested in saving money while visiting Singapore, then avoiding alcohol is one of the best solutions to consider. When it comes to drinking in Singapore, it will be a big challenge for you to find a cheap bottle of wine as everything is highly taxed.
In case you wish to go for cocktails in AUD, the price will surprise you anyway. Still, if you are interested in drinking something fun with your meal, you can consider having a beer at a hawker center. This will cost you less and bring joy to your adventure.
Do a free walking tour.
It is not affordable for many people to buy a tour guide when traveling to Singapore. Managing finances and staying within budget can be daunting when you have a location that you can be tempted to visit.
But you can get a map and explore free sites around the city. You can visit Chinatown, which is always fantastic and helps you to save money.
Explore local food
Fine dining is always costly, no matter where you are. But as you are visiting Singapore, you will want to try out the traditional cuisines and flavors.
You can do it by exploring local food as it will not cost you much. Be sure about your gut health, and bring your anti-allergic and painkillers for safety.
