What nobody tells you about Singapore

Attractions are the real budget, not the hotel. Universal Studios, SEA Aquarium, Sky Park and the Night Safari together run ₹9,000–13,000 per person and are excluded from most packages. Also: tap water is completely safe to drink, so do not spend a rupee on bottled — locals never do.

Who should skip Singapore

Skip Singapore if your budget is tight. It is the most expensive city per day in Asia, and cutting corners there just makes it a worse trip.
