Scotts Road and Orchard Road pretty much sit in a t-shape & whilst staying in Singapore, most visitors will probably stay in this area, which is about half an ...
...to walk you up Scotts Road, at the top you will hit Orchard Road, and we will go left, up Orchard, towards Somerset and also right down Orchard, towards Tanglin - I may write other reviews on other shopping hotspots so look out! My only shopping tip for you is please, please, please try and dress like a local otherwise you will be completely taken for a mug - the mentality out there is tourists have money to spend and are stoopid! Singapore is a ... Read review

...No trip is complete to Singapore without a look around the famous Raffles Hotel. Raffles Hotel opened in 1887 and is one of the last great 19th century hotels. Many famous people have stayed here and Singaporeans enjoy telling stories of the people who have graced the Raffles rooms. The hotel has been given a "face-lift" and the grandeur of it is impressive! It now houses, not only the hotel which are suite only rooms, but also 70 shops and restaurants. ...
...is the ONLY place in Singapore where you are allowed to litter!!! Each table has a large bowl of peanuts and the shells can be thrown on the floor!

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 ...
...Like most parts of Singapore, Orchard Road is very clean and neat. It is a souless place and very unfriendly. Unlike other cities around the world, Orchard Road in Singapore lacks colour, "vibrations" and fun. One gets the feeling that "big brother" is watching you all the time. Very strict and be very careful you do not drop any litters. One day is all you need to do all there is to do in Orchard Road. ... Read review
