Singapore may just well be the shopping paradise of South East Asia. There are many occasions when people in the region make a weekend out of simply visiting this nation in order to get all their high quality and branded goods for the year.
If you were to ask anyone who has visited Singapore or is living in Singapore where to start your shopping adventure, there is going to be a high chance that the name 'Orchard Street' will be among the first few recommendations you will receive.
This is mainly because the stretch of mega malls spans a total of over two kilometres and is considered to be, beyond any doubt, the best place for shopping in Singapore. There are a large variety of shopping complexes that line the streets, such as the ION Orchard or the Paragon house that contain all the best designer brands from across the globe.
If you are just landing in the country, there are a range of Orchard Road hotels such as the Grand Park Orchard available for a quick layover on a short shopping outing.
The wonders of the Chinatown Street Market are extensive. If you so wished, you could easily spend close to a week exploring the ins and outs of this delightful community.
For those hoping to enjoy a much faster run-through of what this street market has to offer, they will certainly not be disappointed. With the roads and alleyways being jam-packed with stalls containing, souvenirs, books and traditional Chinese trinkets, the avid shopper is likely to find themselves steadily hunting for bargains and delighting over the spread that is available in front of them.
In a nation that is already filled to the brim with shopping malls, this mall, in particular, holds the title of the largest shopping mall in Singapore. A true part of the community, this mall offers people everything they can hope for. During your visit you can catch a movie at any of the fifteen cinema screens, or you can head towards the rooftop amphitheatre with your friends and to wind down your night, it is recommended to check out the series of restaurants alongside the art gallery to take in all this complex has to offer.
This is the ideal zone for people who are hoping for a break from the somewhat monotonous urban structures. Considered to be a hipster paradise, you are going to find yourself amongst a plethora of wall paintings, boutique stores and shops selling delightful vintage items!
Located in the unmistakeable Marina Bay Sands building, The Shoppes is the perfect destination for shoppers in the search for luxury items to take home with them. The architecture is elegantly designed to elevate the ambience around you at all time so that you never feel bored, there's a treat around every corner!
