Singapore Shopping—Something for Everyone

Singapore has something for every type of shopper. Whether it’s high-end retail in glamorous malls or local products in lively outdoor markets, the city will not disappoint. At the heart of Singapore shopping is Orchard Road, where malls jostle for shoppers’ attention. Borrowing its name from the pepper, nutmeg and fruit orchards that lined its streets in the 19th century, this 2.2-kilometre stretch houses everything one can fancy, from top designer brands in flagship stores at ION Orchard and Orchard Central to Far East Plaza and Lucky Plaza for bargain buys. If you’re in the mood for a more quirky shopping experience, trawl through the independent stores at Tiong Bahru, the vintage shops at Haji Lane in the Arab quarter, or the busy stalls of Bugis Street Market. And when you start to miss home, head over to Little India for a visit to the popular Mustafa Centre, or for a sip of some hot evening chai after a long day of shopping.
