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.

National Gallery Singapore
@optimicities
Galleries require a ticket, but the ground floor has free exhibits you can access without a ticket. Also worth stopping in just for the architecture.

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!
