For something different, why not try Hotel Indigo Singapore Katong on Singapore’s East Coast. Tick one off your Singapore bucket list by having a Singapore Sling and throwing peanuts at the Long Bar, have high tea in The Grand Lobby or enjoy a meal at BBR by Alain Ducasse (formerly known as the Bar & Billiard Room). It can be challenging to find a budget Singapore staycation, particularly if you’re an expat living in one of Singapore’s lovely resort style condos. It may surprise you to learn that you can have an Singapore budget staycation in one of the most bustling bar districts in all of Singapore.

During this time, you can explore the ancient temples of Higashiyama, get lost in the charming streets of Gion and Pontocho, wander around the Arashiyama bamboo grove and visit majestic Nijo-jo Castle! This well reviewed ryokan is located in Southern Higashiyama, just a short walk from Gion and walking distance to the Southern Higashiyama temples, including popular Kiyomizu-Dera Temple. There’s a lot of temples and shrines in Higashiyama, so if you want to see all the temples or like to take your time then you may prefer to focus on just Southern Higashiyama or Northern Higashiyama. : If you’re coming from Nishiki Markets, walk to nearby Gion Shijo Station (10 minutes walk) and take the Keihan Main Line to Fushimi-Inari Station (10 minutes train).

From Mi Tierra, walk the few blocks back to the River Walk and walk around the southern side of the River Walk. For this, you’ll get a 35 minute river cruise around the River Walk, narrated by the driver with tidbits about San Antonio’s history, culture and the buildings that line the River Walk. The River Walk is equally pretty at night time, so you may wish to save your river cruise for after dark when the river is sparkling with lights, or even take one of the dinner cruises. The Mission Trail is around 10 miles long one way (slightly less if you start from Blue Star instead of the River Walk), so if you want to save your legs then you may prefer to use the BCycle Bike Share.

Highlights of the Cotai Strip include exploring the casinos, restaurants and shops at the Parisian Macao Hotel Resort and the Venetian Macao Hotel Resort (2 and 3 below) and catching a show (4 below). The Parisian Macao Hotel Resort is rather resplendent French-themed hotel, casino and shopping complex, complete with a half size replica of Paris’s Eiffel Tower. The highlight of the Venetian Hotel is the Grand Canal, where canals filled with water wind through luxury shops, complete with authentic Venetian gondolas and fake Venetian shop facades, all housed beneath an artificial blue sky with painted clouds. St Paul’s Ruins are the crumbling remains of the Church of St Paul’s and St Paul’s College, which were largely destroyed by a fire in 1835.
