10 Days in Singapore
🦁 Complete Itinerary & Cost Guide
10 days in Singapore lets you go beyond the highlights — take day trips, revisit favourites, and enjoy slow mornings. Here's a realistic day-by-day plan plus what it costs.
Day-by-Day Itinerary
This plan covers the essentials without burnout. Adjust based on opening hours, weather, and your stamina. Most days are 4–6 hours of activity with long meals and downtime built in.
Settle into your hotel, grab a light lunch, then ease into Singapore with Gardens by the Bay — Supertrees at night. Don't overbook day one — jet lag is real.
Marina Bay Sands SkyPark. Pair it with a sit-down lunch nearby and an evening walk through a different neighbourhood.
Hawker centre dinner (Maxwell, Lau Pa Sat). Take the morning slow and use the afternoon to explore a quieter district away from the tourist core.
Sentosa Island for families. Pair with a long lunch — Hawker centres beat restaurants 90% of the time. Tian Tian chicken rice and chilli crab at Jumbo are must-tries.
Chinatown + Little India food crawl. This day usually involves a longer journey so start early.
For trips of 10+ days, take an external day trip (mentioned in the highlights) or revisit Gardens by the Bay at a slower pace.

For trips of 10+ days, take an external day trip (mentioned in the highlights) or revisit Hawker centre dinner (Maxwell, at a slower pace.
Use this day for whatever you didn't get to: a museum, a hammam, a long lazy lunch. The best memories come from unplanned hours.
Hit one final must-see (Chinatown + Little India food crawl), pick up souvenirs, and leave time for a relaxed lunch before your flight or onward train.
