Singapore for FREE

Updated ago

A guide to all the free things you can do in Singapore. Singapore is one of the safest places I've ever been, so if you're traveling solo, this itinerary is perfectly fine :)

Singapore Botanic Gardens

@optimicities

The gardens are free, but the Orchid Garden requires a ticket. I recommend just the free stroll through the park if you plan to visit the Flower Dome later.

ABOUT THE AUTHOR

OptimiCities

Hi there! I've lived in the US and Europe and often travel to Asia. I often travel alone on a moderate budget as a female, so my guides are created with that in mind. I also have a youtube channel focused on cool urbanist things I've noticed in different cities (transportation, city planning, sustainability, etc.) so I will create some guides around that as well. Safe and fun travels!
