How much money should I take to Singapore for 4 days?

100 SGD per pax per day is exactly what we usually recommend as a comfortable tourist approximation. The sum includes all daily meals and drinks, sightseeing tickets, local transport and souvenirs shopping. If course meal cost depends on how posh u prefer to dine/ lunch. And alcohol in Singapore is generally expensive.



For a 4-day trip to Singapore in 2026, your budget should be approximately $400 to $600 SGD ($300–$450 USD) per person, not including your hotel and flights. This allows for a comfortable "mid-range" experience. Singapore is a city of two extremes: you can eat like a king at a Hawker Centre for $6 to $10 SGD, or spend $200 SGD on a single Michelin-starred dinner. For 4 days, budget about $150 SGD for food (mixing hawker stalls and one "nice" dinner). Transportation is very affordable; an EZ-Link card with $30 SGD will easily cover all your MRT and bus travel for the entire trip. For activities, expect to spend about $200 SGD to cover the "Big Three": Universal Studios ($85), Gardens by the Bay ($53), and the Marina Bay Sands SkyPark ($32). If you plan to shop on Orchard Road or enjoy the nightlife at Clarke Quay, you should add an extra $200 SGD to your budget. In 2026, Singapore is almost entirely cashless—even at hawker stalls—so while you should carry about $50 SGD in cash for emergencies, you can rely on your travel credit card or mobile phone for 95% of your transactions, ensuring you don't over-exchange and get stuck with unneeded local currency.
