Singapore is uniformly recognized as a global center of commerce, fashion, and style. And Orchard Road is well established as Singapore’s premier shopping area. The history of shopping here dates back to 1934 and has grown from humble beginnings to the immense shopping and entertainment center that it is today.
Orchard Road is 2.2 kilometers of neon lights, dramatic storefronts, restaurants, hotels, cafes, and nightclubs. You won’t have any trouble finding whatever your heart desires here as stores vary from fast food outlets to bespoke clothiers and everything in between. There is also an extensive underground infrastructure, including subterranean pedestrian walkways and additional shopping running underneath the street.
