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 be warned it is difficult to cross this street,dont try 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.

Sorry to rate you so low, Orchard Road is an amazing street. What about the hotels - Hilton & Orchard, the nightlife and the MRT. If you update this opinion please let me know and I will be happy to re-rate
