Singapore
Singapore punches above its weight for value thanks to legendary hawker centres serving world-class meals for under $5, an ultra-efficient transit system, and a wealth of free green spaces and cultural attractions. A global city with a surprisingly accessible price floor, it rewards smart travelers who eat where locals eat.

Good to know in Singapore
- Transit: The EZ-Link card or Singapore Tourist Pass covers all MRT and buses, a single ride rarely exceeds $1.80 and the network reaches virtually every attraction.
- Tipping: Tipping is not customary in Singapore; restaurants add a 10% service charge automatically, so no additional tip is needed or expected.
- Tap water: Singapore's tap water is among the cleanest in Asia and perfectly safe to drink straight from the tap, skip bottled water entirely.
- Free-entry days: The National Museum permanent galleries are always free; the Singapore Art Museum and Asian Civilisations Museum offer free admission on select Friday evenings.
