Shopping in Singapore

Singapore's biggest shopping malls are home to all the top brands in the world:

• Orchard Road is a shopaholic's dream come true, home to the best shopping centers in Singapore:
  • ION Orchard (over 300 boutiques)
  • Ngee Ann City with Takashimaya Japanese arcade
  • Wisma Atria
  • 313 @ Somerset
  • Paragon Shopping Centre
• Raffles City Shopping Center on North Bridge Road;
• Marina Bay Sands Shopping Mall Marina Bay Sands (each level is equipped with a sensor panel to find the right store);

• Suntec City Mall on Temasek Boulevard;
• the CityLink Mall (Underground);
• Singapore's largest arcade VivoCity Shopping Center at 1 Harbourfront Walk;

Singapore's shopping reviews almost always refer to the city's ethnic neighborhoods: Chinatown and Little India are the places to go for top-quality spices, ethnic goods, and souvenirs. There are also big department stores here, such as the run-down Mustafa Center.

One of the main shopping events in Singapore is the "Great Singapore Sale," during which prices are reduced by up to 70%! It usually takes place at the end of May and lasts for 8 weeks, until mid-July, which is when the number of shopping tours to Singapore increases.

There are no classic outlet stores in Singapore, but just an hour's drive from the city (in Malaysia) is Southeast Asia's premier outlet Johor Premium Outlets, which can be categorized as "the outlet under Singapore".

The brands represented include Adidas, Armani Outlet, Burberry, CK Calvin Klein, DKNY, Ermenegildo Zegna, Michael Kors, Nike, Salvatore Ferragamo Company Store, Timberland, Tommy Hilfiger, Versace Company Store and more.
