How much does a trip to Singapore cost? 2027 budget for 7 days

The totals

These totals cover everything on the ground for the whole week: the room, three meals and drinks every day, every train, bus, taxi and boat, the paid sights on the route, a local SIM and a 10% buffer for snacks, tips and small surprises. Only the international flight is separate, and it is priced at the end. Euro figures use the European Central Bank rate of 20 October 2026 (EUR 1 = SGD 1.4338).

The totals assume passports that need no visa for Singapore. Citizens of the UK, Ireland, Germany, France, Italy, Spain, the Netherlands, Belgium, Austria, Switzerland, Poland, Czechia, Hungary, Romania, Portugal, the Nordic countries, the United States, Canada, Australia and New Zealand do not need one for a short holiday, and the SG Arrival Card is free.

Flights and the total with flights

Singapore Airlines flies direct from London Gatwick, with Economy returns from GBP 647 for travel between 11 January and 11 March 2027 if booked by 2 November 2026; Cathay Pacific shows February fares from GBP 824 via Hong Kong. Allow about GBP 700-950 per person (about SGD 1,190-1,620) for an economy return on these dates. From Frankfurt, Lufthansa shows February returns from EUR 833, so allow about EUR 950-1,250. Airport charges are included in the fare.

With the London flight, the whole trip comes to about SGD 2,380-2,810 per person on a budget, SGD 3,030-3,460 mid-range or SGD 4,270-4,700 in comfort. Many restaurants add a 10% service charge and 9% GST to the bill; tipping on top is optional, though the tourism board says it is becoming more common for good service. The buffer covers it.
