Where to shop in Singapore

When you’re on holiday in Singapore, shopping is basically non-negotiable. The city is famous for its eclectic range of shopping experiences – from the commercial stores of Orchard Road that stretch into the horizon to the quirky boutiques of Haji Lane.  Beyond Orchard Road, Singapore’s suburbs also offer a bounty of shopping complexes. A comprehensive shopping tour of the city would include Bugis Junction, JCube, Marina Square, Suntec City, and VivoCity, which is connected to Sentosa Island by monorail. Don’t know what to buy in Singapore? The many, many Singapore shopping centres will help you decide. The real challenge is not spending all of your holiday shopping budget in one place!

Ann Siang Road

Located in Chinatown, Ann Siang Road is part of the acclaimed Ann Siang Hill district. The area is famous for its intriguing shops and exciting food scene, which combine to create the perfect shopping destination. Ann Siang Road is a wonderful place to enjoy a coffee and some excellent food between browsing vintage stores, particularly if you've already had a healthy dose of Orchard Road's hullabaloo.
