If you are planning to visit Singapore yet don't want to burn a hole in your pocket, no worries, we've got great tips for you.

We will show you how you can see Singapore in 3 days with USD$100.

Tips :
1. Stay at one of the budget accommodations (from US$7.00/night)

2. Eat at hawker centre (ie non air conditioned food court). Meals here are very cheap and you can get a decent meal plus drink at less than SGD 4.00 (US$2.50)

3. Travel on public transport. A whole day pass cost you only SGD6.00 (US$3.80)

A suggested 3-day itinerary:

Day 1 : After your breakfast at a hawker centre, pick up a walking map from any of the Singapore visitor centres and choose for yourself one or more of the DIY walks. You can choose from any of the
City walk, Singapore River walk or Ethnic walk (Chinatown walk, Little India walk or Kampong Glam walk to choose from)

After the walk, visit the Asian Civilisation Museum, Singapore Art Museum or Singapore Philatelic Museum on Friday evenings from 6pm - 9pm when admission is free. After museum visit, head to Clarke Quay or Boat Quay (the most hip night spots) for a nice time of relaxation at one of it's many riverfront restaurants or pubs.

Day 2 :
1. Visit Sentosa - Singapore's resort island. Before you go, check out the Sentosa website for special promotions where you can sometimes get a special package to visit most of the attractions at 40% discount. (Work out to be around US$34.70)
You can easily spend one whole day at Sentosa as there are many things to see and do. However, if you want to go on a zero budget Sentosa trip, you can hang out at one of the 3 beaches and visit the musical fountain at night before heading back to mainland Singapore.

Day 3:
Visit the Singapore Botanic Garden or one of the nature reserves in the day. Go for a little window shopping at the famous Orchard Road (Singapore's shopping street) and in the evening, catch one of the free performances at The Esplanade (Singapore theatre at the Bay) (check website for timing of free performances).
