5 Cheapest Things to Visit and Do in Singapore

Planning your next adventure with your friends? Sometimes it can be a bit difficult to plan a trp especially if you have a limited budget. However, there are always ways you can work around that! These days, airline carriers regularly go on sale to ensure they have business year-round--so you can possibly get your tickets at 50% off to even 70% off if you're lucky. Booking in advance is only the fist step.

If you're visiting a country like Singapore, you can be assured that there is a balance of things to see and do and places to visit--not everything is expensive. In fact, Singapore is a great budget destination thanks to its many affordable attractions and accomodations.

So after you've booked a cheap hotel in Singapore to settle down in, check out these things to visit and do while you're in the country.

1) Go to hawker centers. To truly experience what Singapore is in essence, you must try Singaporean food. No need to go to fancy upscale restaurants--good old fashioned street food in hawker centers is where the heart and soul of this culture lies in.

2) Go to a $1 water park. Singapore can get hot. This is why the government created and subsidized a series of swimming pools and water parks. If you think it's a sad, dirty swimming pool, think again--most of these water parks have cool slides, lazy rivers and giant wave pools.

3) Watch a Light Show. The Marina Bay sands is the epitome of an expensive vacation, but it regularly puts on an amazing free light show called Wonder Full. Put on two times every evening (three times on weekends), the 13-minute spectacle combines lights, graphic projections, and water jets, all set to a rousing score by local composer Iskandar Ismail.

4) Visit the national museum in Singapore. At $10 this museum is a must for any budget traveller in need of a cultural fix, it is home to 11 national treasures and has a large variety of events and exhibitions throughout the year. The Singapore History gallery section also has free guided tours in English, Mandarin and Japanese at pre-set times everyday except public holidays.

5) East Coast park. At 185 hectares this is Singapore’s largest park. Built on reclaimed land with a man made beach there are numerous activities for the budget traveller. There are cheap eats at the East Coast Hawker centre, you can watch people wakeboard on the lagoon at Ski 360° or you can just walk along the lengthy beachfront stopping for a picnic at one of the many BBQ pits provided.
