In this 3-Day Itinerary Singapore, we detail the top things to do in chronological order. This Singapore trip blog is massive – and it contains everything you need for planning your vacation!
Save, Pin or Bookmark this Singapore Travel Guide to plan your trip to SG!
Day 1 of your 3 Day Singapore Itinerary
Spend the first day of your three days in Singapore in the most iconic districts: Downtown Core, Chinatown and Marina Bay. But first, immerse yourself in nature at a city-center retreat.
Each featured Singapore district could take as little as an hour to explore on foot, without making stops. We recommend using the provided walks to help plan your Singapore day one tour itinerary.
Fort Canning Park
Located in the heart of the city is Fort Canning Park – and it marks the first stop on your Singapore trip plan. The small hill has played a big role in the history of Singapore.
It was home to kings in the 14th century, British Army Barracks in the 19th century and is the site where Singapore surrendered to Japan in 1942.
Shaded trails meander through the forested hill that is sprinkled with relics from the past: The Battlebox, Gothic Gate and Fort Canning Lighthouse shouldn’t be missed!
Informational plaques are found throughout the area to help visitors better understand the history of Fort Canning Park.
Strolling among the tropical plants and learning about the city’s past should definitely be included in your Singapore Three-day Itinerary!
Singapore Downtown Core
In the Downtown Core, sleek high-rises tower over ornate temples and traditional dwellings that sit along the Singapore River.
The district is the financial center of Singapore, which grew from the colony established on the banks of the river in 1823 by Sir Stamford Raffles and the British East India Company.
As the location marks the beginning of modern Singapore, it’s a great place to kick off your Singapore Travel Itinerary!
Museums, monuments and mementoes from the past are found throughout the Singapore Downtown Core.
Top sights include the iconic Raffles Hotel, St. Andrew’s Cathedral, Boat Quay, Cavenagh Bridge, Fullerton Hotel and Yueh Hai Ching Temple.
Discover these for free using our Singapore Downtown Core Walking Tour.
Top Tip: Before you set off on your Day One Singapore Itinerary, make sure you are prepared for the weather!
Wear comfortable shoes, slather on the sunscreen – and bring a hat or umbrella for shade. Staying hydrated is essential – so make sure to bring a bottle of water, too!
Singapore Chinatown
Long before Singapore became what we see today, Chinese people inhabited the island.
However, during the development of the colony by Sir Raffles in the mid-1800s, a specific area was designated for the Chinese people to live and work.
Still, there was much diversity within Chinatown. This is evidenced by the different houses of worship – a Hindu temple, Muslim mosque, Buddhist temple and Christian church are all just steps apart.
Today, although the boundaries have shifted and the dynamics have changed, the Singapore Chinatown history remains.
Preserved shophouses and traditional medicine shops can be found throughout the area.
The scent of sizzling meat and mouth-watering spices hangs heavy in the air, while smoky incense burn at popular Singapore temples and shrines.
Use our Singapore Chinatown Self-Guided Walking Tour to see the best sights!
Top Tip: Visiting Chinatown should be on every Singapore Trip Itinerary – if not for the history, then for the food!
There is so much fabulous food in Chinatown – you could create an entire Singapore Food Itinerary in this one district alone.
We recommend eating lunch at one of the Hawker Centers in Chinatown to get a taste of the local cuisine.
Marina Bay Singapore
Marina Bay is Singapore’s modern, man-made marvel – and an absolute must-see on your Singapore tour plan.
The center of attention is the iconic Marina Bay Sands Hotel, but it is far from the only attraction at Marina Bay.
The water-spouting Merlion, SuperTree Grove of Gardens by the Bay and the Singapore Flyer are other top Marina Bay sights.
Visiting some of these attractions will certainly add to your Singapore sightseeing cost, but for those determined to budget travel in Singapore, there is much to see at Marina Bay for free.
Follow our self-guided walk of Marina Bay Singapore Attractions!
Top Tip: In Marina Bay, there are two nighttime laser light shows: Spectra Light Water Show at Marina Bay Sands and Garden Rhapsody Light Show at Gardens by the Bay.
Both shows light up the Singapore sky at least two times every night – so plan correctly and you can watch both!

Day 2 of your Singapore 3 Day Itinerary
On Day 2 of Singapore in three days, take a walk in the treetops of Southern Ridges, then discover more history and vibrant culture in some of Singapore’s best neighborhoods – Kampong Glam, Bugis and Little India.
Southern Ridges Park
Located west of the Singapore city center, Southern Ridges is a 6mi/10km stretch of green space that connects Mount Faber Park to Hort Park.
Trails can be accessed on the forest floor, but walking along the elevated path gives visitors a birds’ eye view of the forest canopy and a glimpse at some of the iconic Singapore skyline.
A highlight of the Southern Ridges walk is Henderson Waves – a 72ft/36m high pedestrian bridge modeled to look like the waves of the sea.
The park feels miles away from the bustle of Singapore and offers an excellent chance to view the natural flora and fauna of the region.
Kampong Glam
In Raffles’ plan of division, Kampong Glam was designated for native Malays and Muslims – and, today, it’s one of the top tourist spots in Singapore.
Sultan Hussein Shah of Johor, who signed the treaty with the British East India Company in 1819 to establish the colony and trading port, resided in Kampong Glam.
As the district evolved over the decades, it attracted other ethnic groups, and grew into a multicultural community (although, it is often still referred to as the Singapore Muslim Quarter).
The area boasts a few top sights, a multitude of trendy coffee shops and traditional fabric and carpet stores. When visiting Kampong Glam, be sure not to miss the district highlights.
Use this Google Map for a Kampong Glam and Bugis Walking Route or join this highly rated tour that includes food tastings!
Malay Heritage Center
Established in 2005, the Malay Heritage Center aims to educate visitors on the history of the Malay people through six permanent exhibits.
The building that houses the museum was part of the Sultan’s palace complex and was completely renovated in 2011-12. (Fee to enter.)
Sultan Arts Village
At the southeast entrance/exit to the Malay Heritage Center (opposite the fountain), is the Sultan Arts Village.
The small building houses a few artist galleries and features expressive wall murals and graffiti art on the walls around it. Perhaps not a must-see for all travelers, but a delight for fans of street art.
Sultan Mosque
Designated a National Monument in Singapore in 1975, the Sultan Mosque (or Masjid Sultan) dates to the year 1928 – and has changed little since then.
With large golden domes, it’s almost impossible to miss. The mosque remains an important place of worship for Muslims, but is open to all to visit.
Guests not appropriately dressed will be loaned clothing to wear (for free). Informational displays are set up at the back of the mosque and friendly staff are available to answer questions.
Arab Street & Haji Lane
Two colorful streets – Arab Street and Haji Lane – run parallel to each other in Kampong Glam.
Lined with restored shophouses that host hip cafes, restaurants and bars, these two streets offer some of the best sightseeing in Singapore and are a highlight for many visitors.
Eating in Kampong Glam
Located in the vicinity of Kampong Glam is the Golden Mile Food Centre. Slightly out of the way, we believe it is well worth the detour.
We recommend trying the much-raved char kway teow from stall 91 Fried Kway Teow Mee. With only one dish available (the broth of which takes hours to make), the long line moves quicky.
Bugis
Some might be familiar with the name Bugis Street – a movie of the same name depicts the lives of prostitutes who frequented the area from the 1950s until the 1980s.
However, since the redevelopment in the 1980s, none of the sex culture remains. Instead, shopping malls and temples are at the heart of the district.
Bugis Village
Comprised of more than 30 restored pre-war shophouses, Bugis Village features compact stalls selling everything from clothing to souvenirs to food.
The market is a place for both bargains and bartering – and visiting is one of the top things to do in Bugis.
Top Tip: Visitors more interested in shopping at a typical mall should head into Bugis Junction Shopping Center.
Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple
The Buddhist Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Temple was built in the late 1800s and survives today as a place of worship.
Devotees believe praying to Kwan Yim (Goddess of Mercy) will bring them good luck, encouraging many faithful worshipers to visit the temple.
Sri Krishnan Temple
Next to the Kwan Im Thong Hood Cho Buddhist Temple is the Sri Krishnan South Indian Hindu Temple, which was built in 1870.
As a fine example of Singapore’s acceptance of multiple religions, worshipers of both temples will often visit the neighboring temple with offerings.
Little India in Singapore
Temples, spice shops and flowers team together to make Little India one of the most colorful districts in Singapore.
The neighborhood was first developed in the 1840s when a racetrack was built at nearby Farrer Park, attracting Europeans to the area.
Shortly after, the Indian-run cattle trade, which took place along the Serangoon River, was taking hold and many Indian immigrants moved to the district.
Today, many historic sights, temples and Indian shops can be found along Serangoon Road. Below, we highlight the must-see sights in Little India. Use this Google Map for a Little India Walking Route.
Tekka Centre
The Tekka Centre is a hawker center, wet market and fabric store all under one roof. The ground floor features food stalls – many of which serve classic Indian dishes.
On the second floor, shoppers will find an array of fabrics, including beautiful silk used to make saris.
Tan Teng Niah
The Tan Teng Niah House, built by a Chinese businessman in 1900, is one of the last Chinese villas remaining in Little India.
Although the colorful house is what attracts many visitors to seek out the historic abode, it was originally painted plain white.
Sri Veramakaliamman Temple
Dating to 1881, Sri Veramakaliamman Temple is one of the oldest Hindu temples in Singapore. An ornate and detailed tower (gopuram) rises over the main entrance and inside are a number of shrines.
Mustafa Centre
Open 24 hours a day with seamless boundaries between two mega-department stores, Mustafa Centre offers one of the more unique shopping experiences in Singapore.
Shelves are piled high with designer brands, electronics, jewelry and toys – most at discount prices.
Pro Tip: Make your way to the rooftop garden for the water walkway and views of Little India.
Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple
A national monument since 1978, the Sri Srinivasa Perumal Temple was built in 1855 and is dedicated to Lord Vishnu.
The striking feature, a 65ft/20m tower (Gopuram), was added in the 1960s when the temple was renovated with funds provided by a successful shop owner.
Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple
Often called the Temple of A Thousand Lights, the Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple houses a 50ft/15m seated Buddha (which weighs almost 300 tons).
At night, lights are illuminated around the Buddha, which is the reason for the nickname!
Leong San Temple
Across the street from Sakya Muni Buddha Gaya Temple is the classic and ornate Leong San Temple. Built in 1926, the interior features multiple shrines and glitters with gold.
Top Tip: Use the handy guide in English available near the entrance to better understand the interior of the temple.
Dinner and Drinks on Day 2 of Your Singapore Trip Planner
After a long day of sightseeing, settle in for some excellent food and fun beverages!
Swee Choon Dim Sum
Eating is one of the top things to do in Singapore City – and Swee Choon is a classic establishment.
Since 1962, the cooks at Swee Choon have been using quality ingredients to prepare handcrafted dim sum.
We arbitrarily picked items from the list, marking our choices with a pencil, and feasted as plate after plate was brought to our table.
Hailed by foodies as the best dim sum in Singapore, we highly recommend eating dinner at Swee Choon!
Druggist Craft Beer Bar
Located in the former Chinese Druggists Association building, the façade of Druggist Craft Beer Bar is only the beginning. Step inside and find 23 taps of craft beer from all over the world.
Note of warning: Druggist – or any other craft beer – will not make the cut on a Singapore budget itinerary.
For a less expensive pint of local mass-produced beer, head next door to The Tiramisu Hero or down the street to Berseh Food Center.
Day 3 of your Singapore Itinerary
Wrapping up your 3-day Singapore Itinerary, experience some of the best nature in SG before retreating to the glamorous, air-conditioned malls on Orchard Road.
Botanic Gardens and/or Treetop Walk at MacRitchie Reservoir
While Singapore is a thriving metropolis, enclaves of nature can be found all around the island. Two of our favorite spots to get a real breath of fresh air are the Singapore Botanic Gardens and the Treetop Walk at MacRitchie Reservoir.
Note: An ambitious travelers could experience both in one day, but those who would rather slow down and enjoy the scenery, should choose one or the other.
Singapore Botanic Gardens
The Botanic Gardens were established in 1859 and designated a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2015.
Free to enter, the park features multiple gardens and lakes encompassing 82 hectares of land. Stroll aimlessly or choose specific features to visit.
Top Tip: Keep an eye out for local critters. During our visit, we spotted swans, butterflies, a clouded monitor lizard and a smooth-coated otter. Note: While the Gardens are free, the National Orchid Garden requires a ticket.
Treetop Walk at MacRitchie Reservoir
MacRitchie Reservoir Park is a large nature reserve in the center of Singapore Island. Many trails cut through the park, but the Treetop Walk is, by far, the most intriguing.
The 2-hour hike begins on boardwalks hovering over swampy land, then moves to dirt paths in the dense forest.
The actual Treetop Walkway is a gated bridge that connects the two highest points of the park: Bukit Peirce and Bukit Kalang. The 820ft/250m one-way bridge sits 82ft/25m above the forest floor.
Both ends of the bridge (and the bridge itself!) are hang-out spots for the popular macaque monkeys of Singapore – of which we saw several during our hike.
Note: There are sign-posted maps at the park, but no paper maps. Take a look at this online map before you go.
The MacRitchie Reservoir Treetop Walk is accessible by public bus, but takes 45 minutes to an hour each way, so be sure to calculate that into your plans.
Top Tip: Bring water! Although the hike itself is not the strenuous, the humidity can take a toll. Water bottles can be refilled at the Ranger Station and Venus Drive parking lot facilities.
Orchard Road
Orchard Road – the most famous Singapore shopping street – got its name from the 19th century plantations that once covered the area.
Today, the 1.3mi/2.2km street is chock-a-block with some 20 mega-malls and a plethora of hotels – and is surrounded by affluent Singapore neighborhoods.
The Istana – the official residence of the President of Singapore lies at the east end and the late Prime Minister Lee Kuan Yew’s house to the south.
Numerous luxury brands have retail space in the malls on Orchard Road – some high-end stores even create a queue outside their doors, only allowing a few shoppers inside at one time.
Although many budget travelers to Singapore may not be interested in shopping on Orchard Road, the malls are designed to entertain, too.
In addition to reveling in the free air-conditioning, we found several worthwhile sights on Orchard Road, which we outline below.
ION Orchard
Opened in 2009, ION Orchard is home to high-end retailers such as Prada, Giorgio Armani, Louis Vuitton, Dior, Dolce & Gabbana and Cartier.
On the 4th floor, however, ION Art is a free art gallery within the mall. In the mornings, guides lead guests on a cultural food walk through the mall for free.
ION Sky sits on the 55th floor, offering panoramic views of Singapore. Note: ION Sky is accessed with tickets that are acquired through spending $50 SGD in the mall.
Orchard Gateway Library
Orchard Gateway, which connects Orchard Central mall to 313@Somerset, has six levels of retail space…but we visited to see the state-of-the-art Library@Orchard!
Orchard Central Rooftop Garden and Art Trail
Another mall you can visit and keep your Singapore trip budget in check is Orchard Central. On the top floors of Orchard Central is an open and free rooftop garden.
The space feels like a secret retreat high above the busy road and provides views to the north. The mall also displays art throughout – and offers handy pamphlets.
Emerald Hill Road
On the north side of Orchard Road is the curving and picturesque Emerald Hill Road. The houses lining the street were built in the early 1900s featuring Chinese Baroque architecture.
Today it is a highly-desirable place to live in Singapore. The pleasant and peaceful street has little traffic – a portion of it is designed as a pedestrian zone.
After walking the length of the street, retrace your steps to Orchard and stop in one of the many bars on Emerald Hill near Orchard Road for a drink (look for happy hour specials at No. 5 Emerald Hill, Alley Bar and Ice Cold Beer).
Singapore Map Of Sights
Use this Google Map for each section of sights. They are listed in the order they appear on our Singapore Itinerary.
Blue Markers = Day One; Green = Day 2; Orange = Day 3; Yellow = Food and Drink; Purple = More Sightseeing Options.
More Things To Do in Singapore
Although we’ve packed in a lot of places to visit in Singapore in 3 days, our list is by no means exhaustive.
We have a few more ideas, but they certainly do not all fit into the category of Singapore Budget Travel.
Sentosa Island
The military-base-turned-entertainment Sentosa Island is a must-see for many Singapore tourists. It features beaches, resorts, water parks, adventure activities and theme parks.
If you are heading to Sentosa Island, you will want to buy these single attraction tickets in advance.
- Universal Studios
- 4D Adventureland
- Madame Tussauds
- SEA Aquarium (Skip the Line)
- Cable Car to Sentosa Island
Marina Barrage
Visiting the Marina Barrage is one of the Singapore sights that many tourists miss – but shouldn’t!
The Marina Bay Dam was built in 2008 to maintain a fresh water supply and it was specifically designed to double as outdoor space for residents and visitors to enjoy.
The Marina Barrage Walking Trail loops around for phenomenal views of the Singapore skyline. On the Marina Barrage walk, you can view the Supertree Grove and Marina Bay Sands.
The wonderful green space is perfect for a picnic, flying a kite and watching a Singapore sunset. Guests with additional time can walk across the dam to the Gardens by the Bay East.
East Coast Park Singapore
The 9mi/15km stretch of coastline to the northeast of the Singapore city center offers another great place to enjoy the outdoors.
At East Coast Park, relax on the beach, have a picnic lunch, ride a bike or just take a stroll. When you get hungry, head to East Coast Food Lagoon!
Top Tip: While in the area, make the effort to find Koon Seng Road, which features some of the most colorful peranakan shophouses in Singapore.
Singapore Zoo and Bird Park
The Singapore Zoo, opened in 1973, and hosts 315 species of animals – some of which are threatened species.
The SG Zoo strives to house the animals in natural settings and features the largest captive colony of orangutans in the world.
The Jurong Bird Park is the largest bird park in the world (based on number of inhabitants): over 5,000 birds live here!
The large, walk-in aviaries allow birds to fly freely in the exhibits. Flamingos, parrots and penguins are just a few of the animals that visitors will see at Jurong Bird Park.
Singapore Swimming Pools
With a location practically on the Equator, Singapore has a tropical rainforest climate – meaning, it is really hot and really humid year-round.
Dipping into a swimming pool is a good way to beat the heat. If it’s in your budget, we recommend booking a hotel with a pool (more on accommodation below).
If your hotel doesn’t have a pool – or if you just need a quick mid-day refresher – look for free sprinklers and water fountains.
They are created for kids to help beat the heat – and splashing around in them is one of the things to do in Singapore for cheap!
Singapore Quays
On the banks of the Singapore River, there are three quays that have been developed into tourist attractions and entertainment centers.
Boat Quay
Lined with historic shophouses, all of which are occupied by restaurants and bars, Boat Quay was the busiest port in Singapore in the late 1800s. Today, the tourist-driven strip offers riverside dining and local specialties.
Clarke Quay
Located upstream from Boat Quay is another historic port, Clarke Quay. Revitalized into one of Singapore’s top entertainment districts, visitors will find nightclubs, international chain restaurants (like Hooters) and, of course, a mall.
Robertson Quay
Even further upstream is Robertson Quay, the largest of the three wharfs in central Singapore. The area has been redeveloped into mixed-use space, including several casual eateries and bars along the waterfront.
One of our favorite hawker centers, Zion Riverside Food Centre, is just a short walk from here, too.
Our top recommendations are the famous ‘Carrot Cake’ (not a dessert) at Lau Goh Teochew Chye Thow Kway made by a deaf cook and Fried Kway Teow found at stall #18.
Singapore Sightseeing Tickets
Sightseeing in Singapore can be expensive, but choosing the right pass can certainly save you money.
Each Singapore tourist card has it’s benefits; we recommend researching each offer to find the one that is right one for you!
Sightseeing Pass Singapore
There are two types of Singapore Travel Cards: one that allows you to select a specific number of sights to visit OR one that allows unlimited entry for a set number of days.
Depending on your style of travel and sightseeing ambitions, you can choose the card that will provide the most cost-saving benefit.
Singapore Super Saver: Universal Studios & Aquarium
See two of the top Sentosa Island attractions in one day with a discounted combo ticket for Universal Studios and SEA Aquarium.
With the two-attraction pass, you can split the day between the two sights for a full day’s worth of fun!
Singapore City Pass
The 5-Day Singapore Sightseeing Pass includes admission to Universal Studios, a 2-day Hopper Pass, Open-Top bus tour, plus two more attractions of your choice.
Singapore Pass
The Singapore Pass is based on number of sights and/or days (with upgraded options available) and includes public transportation.
It also includes some sights not available with other cards, like the Singapore Flyer and Tiger Brewery Tour.
Singapore Public Transportation
Taxis are notoriously expensive, but with the incredible network of public transportation in Singapore, we never had to take one.
Instead, we relied solely on the cheap buses and efficient MRT to get around Singapore.
Singapore Transportation Cards
There are two types of transportation cards, one of which needs to be purchased in advance of using the system. Choosing which is right for you requires a bit of thought.
The Standard Ticket is a popular choice for visitors, but it doesn’t work on buses. A stored value SmartCard (EZ-link or Nets FlashPay) can be used on the MRT and buses (and some convenience stores).
However, there are some drawbacks. First, there is an actual cost to the card and a top-up minimum. This can be frustrating if you are on your last day and only need a couple more rides.
We knew we were going to ride buses, we opted for the SmartCard. There is an option to refund the remaining value at the airport, but instead, we used our balance to buy a few snacks from the 7-11.
Top Tip: Find the most current fares, route maps and an explanation of card types on the official SG public transport website.
Final Tips To Plan a Trip to Singapore
Now that you know how to plan a trip for Singapore on a budget, we have some general advice to help ensure you have a fabulous vacation!
Singapore Language
Singapore recognizes four official languages: English, Mandarin, Malay and Tamil. Most government signs and information plaques will include all four and English is widely spoken.
It is important to note, however, that due to the many languages and dialects, spelling variations of sights in English often occur.
Go Underground
Underground air-conditioned walkways connect Singapore below the surface – often leading to MRT stations.
Pedestrians can also use the underground passages to get from one side of the street to the other to avoid traffic (and the heat!).
Singapore Laws
Singapore has a reputation for strict laws and stiff penalties. On buses and trains in Singapore, there are hefty fines for consuming food or beverage.
We never actually saw signs for Singapore’s infamous ‘no chewing gum’ law. However, we also didn’t see anyone chewing it…or selling it…and it certainly wasn’t stuck to the ground anywhere!
Where To Stay in Singapore On a Budget
Accommodations are often the biggest cost of a Singapore trip. Finding affordable places to stay in Singapore can be a real challenge – but it is not impossible!
Kam Leng Hotel – Located near Little India, the basic, no-frills room was suitable, but the hotel doesn’t have a pool or included breakfast.
Hotel Mi – The rooms were quite small, but the property has a wonderful pool and a breakfast café onsite (extra cost). It’s conveniently located right next to an MRT station.
Doubletree by Hilton in Johor Bahru – The luxurious Doubletree is across the border in Malaysia. With an incredible pool and inexpensive services, it was surprisingly affordable.
However, it was a 2-hour commute to and from Singapore city center. That included a somewhat entertaining, yet cumbersome, border crossing. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay in Johor Bahru.
To find a hotel in Singapore within your budget, we recommend searching on Booking.com. But first read our top tips for getting the Best Deals on Hotels!
Getting To Singapore
Singapore is best reached by plane. Changi is the main (and world-famous) airport in Singapore. Seriously, it has gardens, art installations, movie theaters and a rooftop pool!
When we need to purchase plane tickets, we start our search for the best flight deals on Skyscanner.
