Singapore isn’t known as a budget destination, and for good reasons. But it isn’t as bad as you might expect. Of course, the daily costs are higher than in let’s say Malaysia or Indonesia, but in Singapore, you CAN be in control of your own budget. You could easily book a hotel that will cost you hundreds of dollars a night (like the famous Marina Bay Sands), but if you look beyond that, there actually are plenty of hostels where you can stay for twenty to thirty dollars a night. Besides a place to sleep, it’s mainly the popular sights that will empty your wallet quicker than you would probably like. If you visit famous attractions like Gardens by the Bay or the Art Science Museum, you’ll spend a lot more money each day. Eating in Singapore can go either way as well. You can eat on the street and pay just a few bucks for an absolutely delicious meal. Restaurants are often more expensive. Basically, a getaway to Singapore can be as expensive as you want it to be. These daily budgets will give you a very basic idea of the costs:

The budgets mentioned above, are per person per day. In the ‘Budget’ category you stay in simple hostels, you will have to eat street food most days and do cheaper (or less) activities. With the ‘Standard’ category you’ll have a private room (which might be in a hostel) and you can go out for dinner (in a simple restaurant) sometimes.
