1. The Singapore Botanic Gardens is one of the most popular tourist destinations in Singapore. The gardens are home to a variety of plant life, as well as a few animals including the endangered Malayan tapir.
The gardens are also home to the National Orchid Garden, which is the largest orchid garden in the world. Admission to the Botanic Gardens is free, making it a great activity for those on a budget.
2. National Museum of Singapore
With its history going back to 1849 when it started as the Raffles Library and Museum, the National Museum of Singapore is the nation’s oldest museum and one of the city’s major landmarks.
The museum is home to a variety of exhibits, including a section on the history of Singapore, as well as galleries on art, Southeast Asia, and natural history. If you have time to visit only one place to learn about the history and culture of Singapore, this is probably it.
3. Gardens by the bay
Trust us on this one – Gardens by the Bay is the only one of its kind. Located by the Marina Bay waterfront, Gardens by the Bay is a surreal coming together of horticulture, technology and architecture and is completely free for anyone to visit.
While access to the conservatories and walkways are ticketed, you can spend your day walking among giant super-trees, seeing stunning floral gardens and admiring one of the most fascinating pieces of architecture anywhere in the world without spending a dollar.
4. Mount Faber
While the hill isn’t the tallest in Singapore, Mount Faber’s top offers exceptional views of Singapore’s increasingly dense central business district and is the perfect hiking spot in Singapore. You can hike to its top via Marang Trail or the Southern Ridges Park Connector. Both paths will take you through secondary rainforests that cover its slopes.
5. MacRitchie Treetop Walk
Set among the rainforests of MacRitchie Nature Reserve, the Treetop Walk is a highlight of many a hiking trails that go through these forests.
The walkway is a free-standing suspension bridge that connects the two highest points in MacRitchie and offers a bird’s eye view of the plants and animals that live in the forest canopy.
6. Live music at Esplanade
The Esplanade is one of the busiest art centers in the world. Enjoy a cultural evening, admiring performances from various local bands, traditional dance forms and theatre shows. The Esplanade comprises a theatre, a concert hall, and an outdoor performance zone, which can be accessed for free.
7. Marina Bay Sands Lightshow
Yes, we know, the Marina Bay Sands resort is expensive if you choose to dine or stay there. But what’s absolutely free is Spectra – the light shows that take place every day from 8 PM and goes on till 9 PM, or 11 PM on weekends.
Get a spot on the Event Plaza in the Promenade and watch the three towers throw multicoloured light beams into the Singapore night. Watch the 15-minute show unfold in a four-part story, and a beautiful symphony of dancing fountain jets, colourful visual projections and lasers – all led by an orchestral soundtrack.
8. Buddha Tooth Relic Temple
A temple nested in the Chinatown district, the Buddha Tooth Relic Temple is one of the most sacred places in Singapore and is a popular tourist destination.
The Temple draws Buddhist devotees from across the world as it houses an alleged tooth of the founder of Buddhism, Siddharta Gautama. This place of worship can be visited for free by locals and tourists.

The Changi Point is one of the most popular beaches in Singapore along its east coast. With a boardwalk of 2.2 kilometers along the coast, there are plenty of free things to do along the Changi Boardwalk.
The Boardwalk is divided into 6 sections, each one offering an outstanding view for its visitors.
