While the Gardens By The Bay is open nearly 24 hours (5:00AM &#8211; 2:00 AM), we&#8217;d suggest visiting it during the Garden Rhapsody light show that runs daily at 19:45 and 20:45. You can catch a spectacular glimpse of the Supertrees lit up, a truly surreal sight.  If you&#8217;re truly blown by the concept and wouldn&#8217;t mind paying a few bucks to see the impressive Flower Dome and Cloud Forest inside Gardens by the Bay, you can grab a combo ticket for S$25 and get up close to the trees and even take a walk on the OCBC Skyway!<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/blog\/gardens-by-the-bay-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> Read More <\/a><\/p>\n<p>2<\/p>\n<h2 id=\"1\">Saunter by the Singapore Botanic Gardens<\/h2>\n<p><span><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/cdn-imgix-open.headout.com\/blog\/media\/images\/Singapore\/Jewel+Changi+Airport+2.jpg?auto=compress&amp;fm=pjpg&amp;w=900&amp;h=450&amp;crop=faces&amp;fit=min\" alt=\"singapore on a budget\" style=\"width: 800px; height: 300px;\" data-pagespeed-url-hash=\"1309235238\" onload=\"pagespeed.CriticalImages.checkImageForCriticality(this);\" width=\"900\" height=\"223\"><\/span><\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Singapore_Botanic_Gardens\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singapore Botanic Gardens<\/a>  is an 82-hectare area of lush green lawns, picturesque ponds and delightfully pruned garden trails , founded over 150 years ago!

You probably won&#8217;t get wifi here like the rest of Singapore, you may see cats, chickens and dogs freely roaming around the streets and you might at some point wonder how they live in such a primitive state, but the smiles of the villagers here are a proof of their perfectly content life.

vacation on a budget. Make these your holy grail and you won&#8217;t be lamenting by the end of your trip!<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><b> Eat your fill at affordable hawker centres<\/b><\/li>\n<p>What we commonly know as food courts in what hawker centres are in Singapore. Feast to your heart&#8217;s fill in  these hawker centres&#8217; and you won&#8217;t drill a hole in your wallet by the end of it.

Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.thebestsingapore.com\/eat-and-drink\/the-best-5-hawker-centres-in-singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">5 best Hawker Centres in Singapore here<\/a>.<\/p>\n<li><b>Skip the taxi and hop onto a MRT<\/b><\/li>\n<p>This is something that&#8217;s natural for every budget traveler &#8211; using public modes of transport. More so, Singapore&#8217;s public transport network is one of the world&#8217;s best in terms of timeliness, cleanliness and of course connectivity. Buy an EZ Link Card and make your way around the city without any hassle.<\/p>\n<li><b>Get hold of a Singapore City Pass<\/b><\/li>\n<p>The Singapore City Pass is an absolute boon for anyone looking to explore the city on a budget. You can enjoy a hassle-free sightseeing experience with 2 days unlimited Hopper Pass and visit a number of tours and attractions in Singapore over a course of 2, 3 or 5 days. Grab your <a href=\"https:\/\/www.headout.com\/singapore-city-pass\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Singapore City Pass<\/a> on 7% Discount with additional 10% cashback only on Headout!<\/p>\n<li><b>Ditch bottled water and go for tap water<\/b><\/li>\n<p>In Singapore, the tap water is completely safe for consumption. Carry a bottle with you and refill wherever possible.<\/p>\n<li><b>Skip the tip<\/b><\/li>\n<p>Service charge is included in the final bill for most places and it is not customary to give a tip in Singapore. However, there&#8217;s no stopping you if you&#8217;ve had an exemplerary service!<\/p>\n<li><b>Know the law or pay a fine<\/b><\/li>\n<p>Lawa are quite stringent in this part of the world and you are levied a hefty fine if you do not follow them. For eg: Chewing gum is banned in Singapore so leave it at home when packing your bags. Similarly there are many rules on Jaywalking, littering, smoking in public etc. <a href=\"https:\/\/www.goabroad.com\/articles\/study-abroad\/singapore-laws-to-know-before-you-go\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Know the laws<\/a> before you step foot in the country.<\/p>\n<li><b>Be warned, partying and smoking is expensive<\/b><\/li>\n<p>While you can get a decent meal for cheap here, drinks and cigarettes are heavily priced in Singapore. If you&#8217;re on a budget, make sure you avoid these on the whole.<\/p>\n<li><b>Couchsurf<\/b><\/li>\n<p>Like in every other part of the world, couchsurfing is a great idea and an even better way to get to know and live with the locals. Moreover, it&#8217;s mostly free! Singapore has a great couchsurfing community, so take advantage of it and enjoy the city like a local, with a local.<\/p>\n<li><b>Tax-free shopping<\/b><\/li>\n<p>In Singapore, a 7% tax is added on all good and services ( GST). However, you can avoid paying that if you buy from shops that &#8220;Tax-Free Shopping&#8221; or &#8220;Premier Tax-Free&#8221; sticker up front. If you do by from elsewhere and pay a tax, you can get a refund for all the tax paid at the Changi Airport. Here&#8217;s a quick guide on how to go about <a href=\"http:\/\/www.globalblue.com\/tax-free-shopping\/singapore\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">refunding the GST paid<\/a>.   If you&#8217;re looking for other budget shopping options, ditch the malls and explore Chinatown Street Market, Bugis Market, So Galem Market and Little Indian arcade to pick the best of stuff at most reasonable prices.<\/ul>\n<h2 id=\"singaporeonabudget7\">Budget Your Singapore Trip<\/h2>\n<p>While there are many ways to budget your trip, we find this <a href=\"https:\/\/www.budgetyourtrip.com\/budgetreportadv.php?geonameid=&amp;countrysearch=&amp;country_code=SG&amp;categoryid=0&amp;budgettype=1&amp;triptype=0&amp;startdate=&amp;enddate=&amp;travelerno=0\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">online tool<\/a> reliable and easy to use.
