Singapore is easily one of the premier shopping hubs in Asia and offers diverse retail therapy. From modern mega malls to lively local markets, the city is a shopaholic's dream come true.
Featuring a unique area that has a distinct Mediterranean feel to it, this shopping hotspot also happens to be the country's tallest vertical mall. This Orchard Road mall is a great place to shop for fashion and features a Via Ferrata climbing wall and many restaurants too.
Fashionistas will love a visit to Ion Orchard where they can "lose" themselves in the flagships stores of Louis Vuitton, Cartier, Dolce & Gabbana and Prada. Home to retail outlets and a food hall that features a plethora of international and local cuisines, this mall is a great spot for some fashion & food!
Another Orchard Road favourite, Paragon is well known amongst upmarket shoppers looking to indulge in the finer things in life. Spread across six levels, the mall features international brands the likes of Gucci, Miu Miu, Miss Sixty, Salvatore Ferragamo and Armani Exchange, while also being home to Toys 'R' Us and Paragon Medical which has specialist clinics. If you are looking for a nearby luxury hotel in Singapore consider staying at Sheraton Towers Singapore.
A highlight of this mall is its record breaking Fountain of Wealth which offers a spectacular show for those looking to take a break from their shopping. With more than 300 retail outlets, a vast array of food & beverage options, arcade and cinema spread across themed zones, Suntec City Mall offers plenty of shopping fun for the entire family.
For something different head to Chinatown where one will be greeted by a lively atmosphere. Amidst this backdrop you will find traditional style shop houses where one can purchase everything from handicrafts to gold and fine silk to jewellery made from jade. Medicinal herbs, antiques and traditional foods can also be purchased here.
Another diverse shopping locale, Little India provides an Indian style shopping experience where you can shop amidst the hustle and bustle and buy gold jewellery, Ayurvedic oils, sarees, handicrafts and more. Also here is the famed 24-hour Mustafa Centre featuring everything from Indian spices to electronics.
