The Smart Street
Review of Orchard Rd (Singapore) by ashford

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 local ... Read review

Gd for tourists but there are other shopping areas as well
Review of Orchard Rd (Singapore) by ling

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 ... Read review

Shopping - Word of terror
Review of Orchard Rd (Singapore) by dipstick

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. ... Read review

Orchard Road-The Tourist Belt
Review of Orchard Rd (Singapore) by zorbay

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 ... Read review

British High Street
Review of Orchard Rd (Singapore) by Erzulie

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 ... Read review

Singapore Orchard Road
Review of Orchard Rd (Singapore) by speedwing

Advantages: Clean, smart, everything works
Disadvantages: Strict, souless, unfriendly, not a place for bargain hunters

Orchard Road is the Oxford Street of Singapore. This is where you will find all the shopping mall and most of the popular departmental stores. The whole length of Orchard Road is approximately 1 km from end to end. The more popular places along Orchard Road are Takashimaya, Paragon, Tang's, Far East and a few smaller shopping malls. Shopping along Orchard Road is expensive. There are hardly any bargains to be found. Food from foodcourts is relatively ... Read review
