Unless you’re made of money, there are certain places around the world that will bleed your travel budget dry, and the island country of Singapore is undoubtedly one of them. In an unenviable statistic, this sovereign city-state is often, in fact, number one in the list of world’s most expensive cities, and certainly never leaves the top five. A factoid that doesn’t exactly fill backpackers with joy.
However, as with every pricy locale on the planet, there’s always a trick or two to learn when it comes to holding onto as much of your hard-earned cash as possible. We know how to tighten the belt in money-pit destinations, and today we’re on hand to tell you some amazing places you can see in Singapore for a song!
The Gardens by the Bay
Arguably Singapore’s most visited and iconic attraction, the Gardens by the Bay is a nature park covering some 101 hectares close to the marina. It has become a symbol of the city in spite of only having existed since 2012. This is perhaps due to the inclusion of the “supertree” grove – the picture postcard view of Singapore that everyone wants to capture.
