The Smart Street

Advantages: Smart. Good Western food. Good hotels. Bright.
Disadvantages: Pricey. Full of tourists. Difficult to find bargains

Orchard Road in Singapore is the smart shopping and dining street par excellence. It is the main tourist drag in the Island Republic and houses a lot of the ultra smart but increasingly expensive one stop shopping centres,a number of top rate hotels, designer boutiques and a veritable plethora of mostly Western-style fast food joints and sophisticated restaurants.These are fairly pricey and not good value.

If you want to sample authentic ...
...be churlish to deny that Orchard Road will go a long way to meet your requirements, If you are after the latest designer labels and are not too concerned about price then again Orchard road is fine. If you want to visit smart,up market,jewellers or drug stores (chemists) then again
Orchard Road is OK. If,however,you want to find bargains,unusual goods like crocodile skin handbags, and local arts and crafts,steer clear of Orchard Road. For ... more

Gd for tourists but there are other shopping areas as well

Advantages: conglomeration of shops all on 1 street
Disadvantages: crowded

Orchard Rd is the most "famous" of all the shopping streets in Singapore. The main shopping centers are all on this street... Wisma Atria, Ngee Ann City (takashimaya), and further down plaza singapaura and the like. On this street u will be able to shop to your hearts content, no matter what your taste and budget in clothes is. For there is the low budget This Fashion, where tops range from S$5 upwards... that being less than 2 quid... to the branded ...
...from the frenetic atmosphere of Orchard rd (particularly on the weekends), there are many other shopping centers that will fufill your shopping needs... in the suburban areas of singapore like tampines, bishan and yishun, there are many surburban malls which could cater to your shopping desires..... the atmosphere in these places is more relaxed and you will see many of the singapore heartlanders in these places.. these malls are also conviniently ...

Shopping - Word of terror

Advantages: Never bored, lots of things to do and something to interest someone.
Disadvantages: Too many shops!!! Hard to compare prices.

...case of walletis emptititis. Orchard road is a great place to go shopping. The entire road from Scotts road, is lined with shopping malls. I think that there are 43 of them in all. At last count. And there are lots of varieties of shops to go for. I tried to go for all the shops in one go, but there were too many. I think I only managed 5 or 6 malls in a day. Lets you know that one can spend a week roughly going through the shops with relative ease. ...
...brands in abundance there. Sales are also often to be had, especially the annual great Singapore Sale where prices are slashed left, right and center. This is usually in the month of July, and it lasts for the entire month. But a word to you prospective shoppers frothing the the mouths. It's when most if not all shops unload unwanted and unsold goods on us poor folk. And prepare for huge crowds there. If there's one sport bored housewives excel at, ...

Orchard Road-The Tourist Belt

Advantages: Convenient.lots of hotels,restaurants,shopping complexes.
Disadvantages: Expensive

Orchard Road,I would guess, is probably the best known road in Singapore,certainly among tourists who come to the Island republic from all parts of the world. This is the Oxford Street or the Champs d'Elysee of this small city state and like the latter it is wide boulevard,very clean and magnificently maintained. It is full of smart hotels, one stop shopping complexes,up market eateries and US style fast food joints. It is a very busy street and ...
...jay walking,the fines for doing so are very hefty in Singapore. For getting taxis or other means of transport the place is superb. To be frank it is not the street to get shopping bargains,for those you are better going off to the flea markets or browsing in the various ethnic enclaves in the city such as Arab Street,Little India or Chinatown. ...

Shopping Paradise

Advantages: As good as Paradise
Disadvantages: non

Orchard Road is a world famous shopping paradise in Singapore. This long stretch of road is fulled of shopping archades, entertainment centre such as bowling, cinema and so on. This road has an excellent night life. There are many disco and night clubs where you can soak yourself in the South East Asia local beer -- Tiger Beer. Talking about the main attraction -- shopping, you can find virtually anything here, local brands or any expensive international ...

British High Street

Advantages: Feels like home
Disadvantages: More expensive

Wisma Atria has a little Brtish High Street corner in my opinion. On level one above ground, you will find Warehouse, Kookai and Topman. Topshop is just above Topman. There is also the cosmetic firm 'Lush' on ground floor. 1.Warehouse is a posh chain store in Singapore's market and you can find it in all the posh shopping centres in Singapore. I found the prices are slighty higher than in UK, about 10 pounds more. 2. Topshop markets itself as ...
...and the store really mirrors what the flagship London store looks like. From the decor to the giant screen TV to the AppleMac for internet browsing, not to mention the video games machine.There is also not much price differences, the clothes is just a little bit more expensive than in UK. Maybe 2 or 3 pounds more, that can be justify by the expensive shipping cost. In fact, there are lots of discounts and I bought a shirt from there for the equivalent ...
