Let’s face it: dating in Singapore can get pretty expensive. Drinks and dinner are often the norm and by the end of the month, if you’re anything like us, your wallet will be screaming for mercy. But don’t fret. Here at Lovestruck.com, we have pulled together some budget-friendly, stylish date suggestions that look a million dollars.
Here are 5 top ideas that your wallet/purse will love!
Enjoy the Marina Bay Sound & Light Show
Price: Free
Taking place every night, this is a spectacular 13-minute display of water jets, lasers and fire geysers, is accompanied by music and will feel like you are both having your very own private viewing. The shows take place on Sundays to Thursdays, at 8pm and 9.30pm and on Fridays, they have an extra show at 11pm. Arrive early to get a good spot and watch the action unfold!
Walk across the Skyway at Gardens By The Bay
Price: $5 for the walk
This futuristic park has been voted one of the ‘Top 10 Indoor Gardens In The World’ and is filled with wonders from around the world, including 500,000 plants and jaw-dropping Supertrees. The 128-metre long OCBC Skyway is suspended at 22 metres above the ground, connecting two Supertrees and giving you a completely different view of the gardens. The area comes alive every night for the Garden Rhapsody, a free light and sound show.
Have a picnic on the Esplanade Roof Terrace
Price: Free
This is a top location for a relaxed night with your date and offers incredible views over the city and Marina Bay. There are loads of lovely seating areas to relax, alongside manicured lawns, plants and trees. Start by strolling along Singapore River before rolling out your picnic blanket and cracking open the food and drinks. This makes the perfect backdrop of a couples’ selfie, too!
Hike along Henderson Waves
Price: Free
Connecting Mount Faber Park to Telok Blangah Hill Park and standing an impressive 36 metres above Henderson Road, this is the highest pedestrian bridge in Singapore, and frequently visited for its unique, wave-like structure consisting of a series of undulating curved ‘ribs’. Overlooking treetops, flowers, the harbour and skyline, the bridge has covered areas of seating if you want to sit down and cosy up for a while. This is also a lovely location to watch the sunset – the wave-like formation is lit with LED lights from 7pm to 2am daily.
Take a stroll in the Botanical Gardens
Price: Free/$5 entry to National Orchid Garden
Slip on your trainers and head off with your date to these gardens, which are located in the heart of the city and open from 5am to midnight every day of the year. Wander through the virgin rainforest, accessible via an atmospheric boardwalk, before heading off to the main attraction, the National Orchid Garden, which contains over 1000 species of orchids and 2000 hybrids in breath-taking colours.
