Shopping is one of the greatest pleasures in Singapore.
Part of the fun is the excellent buys and great variety of
shops all over the island. Delight in a bargain at a little
neighborhood shop, pick up a quaint item or two as you
stroll through colourful ethnic quarters, discover favourite
buys of the droves who flock to our modern malls or be
enthralled by the splendour of whole shopping "cities"
selling everything under the sun.
Many top hotels also have an attached shopping arcade with
fine boutiques specialising in designer fashion,
accessories, jewellery and watches.
And designer brands from the fashion runways of the world
can be affordable - if you know where to look. Find them at
the growing number of discount shops around the city. The
magic is affordable in New Asia - Singapore.

Singapore's Central Shopping Belt extending from Tanglin Road
all the way down Orchard Road and Bras Basah Road to Marina Bay
has been tagged Fifth Avenue, Regent Street, Champs-Elysees, Via
Veneto and Ginza for good reason.
This is where world-class shopping abounds. A day spent browsing
and buying turns into an unforgettable experience as theme
designer boutiques, local and international department stores,
speciality shops and bargain counters compete with outdoor cafes
and gourmet restaurants for your attention.

Great shopping in Singapore isn't confined to just Orchard Road
and its surroundings. Quality goods at prices that won't burn a
hole in your pocket can be found in lots of places around the
city centre. The Riverside area by River Valley Road is home to
both some of the newest as well as the oldest shops in
Singapore. Look in the heart of the financial district around
Raffles Place and Shenton Way where the office crowd throngs the
shops for a surprising variety of goodies.

If you're prepared to venture further afield, you can combine
shopping with a little off-the-beaten track sightseeing as well.
In fact, you'll discover some of the best bargains where most
Singaporeans live, eat and shop - out in the heartlands of
Singapore.
These suburban shopping centres offer a surprisingly
comprehensive range of items from branded to electronic goods at
prices to delight the value-conscious and determined bargain
hunter. Business hours vary from shop to shop but as a general
guide, most shops are open from 11am to 9pm.
Town centres in the larger estates of Tampines and Bishan are
easily accessible by MRT. Shopping at these bustling town
centres is a fascinating experience, providing insight into the
local lifestyle and a chance to mingle with Singaporeans at
their most comfortable. You also reap another benefit - the
opportunity to tuck in "local style" at the numerous food centres and informal coffee shops.
