    Shop 'til You Drop
    So many modern shopping malls, so much to choose from, so many eating places. It's a great place to go but be prepared to spend a lot as prices are over the top. Pay $Sing400 for Calvin Klein Jean's, $Sing200 for Lululemon leggings..pay $12 for a coffee. Having said that all the top brand fashion names are represented and great place to just walk around. One place to avoid is Happy Plaza on a Sunday..it's like a bad mall from Philippines. Highly recommend a visit.

    Vibrant feels in the ultimate shopping area
    Yuletide feels around. From inside and outside of Takashimaya , Ion , Paragon and even Lucky Brand mall , the holiday has been set up. Many street performers abound , so are those plying the classic Singaporean and even Turkish ice cream delights. Displays are already seen from the digital display by Hilton to the huge Christmas tree of Louis Vuitton. Be wary of many underground pedestrian pathway if you want to avoid the humidity or occasional rain showers. Shop and eat till you drop from the basic to the ultra luxurious.

    Excellent service, location and sustainability.
    This Hotel offers everything you need for business and pleasure. Relaxed yet smart, its location is central and perfect for public transport. I wrote a review prior to leaving but wanted to reinforce the excellent service and personalized assistance. One thing I appreciate is high-quality linen and a fresh feel to the room. Their sustainable program is definitely forward thinking and appreciated by those of us that want to make both small and big steps.

    Definite Wow Factor
    It’s the busiest of place that’s still a pleasure to go to. It’s unparalleled in its attractions and a shoppers paradise; but bring the credit card it’s an expensive place to visit. A plethora of designer shops are waiting to extract the holiday spending money from your wallet so beware. There’s some fine eating and drinking places as you walk the length of Orchard, some of my favourites are The Drunk Poet, Hard Rock Cafe and Muddy Murphy’s. Enjoy the stroll.

    Impressive main road that is absolutely full of shops, shopping malls and eateries and bars. Some of the higher ends shops are here like Channel and Gucci but also shops like Nike and Adidas. Although everything is still top pricing

    Shopping paradise
    Still a shopping haven no matter what the naysayers say and how online shopping is booming. The top malls are Ion, paragon and ngee ann city. Many others are just trying to play catch up. Countless restaurants and cafes to rest while shopping

    High end Shopping Strip
    A very crowded high end shopping strip. Seemed to have a lot of people window shopping, but not too many of them carrying shopping bags. It's worth a look even if you can't afford the prices. Some decently priced restaurants along the strip, however, with great food. You go, just to say you've seen. We personally wouldn't go back.

Orchard Road is a paradise for shopping and eating.

Almost all international brands are represented sometimes in multiple locations in Orchard.

Goods especially branded stuff in Singapore are generally cheaper than its neighboring countries. Furthermore, tourists can get a tax refund of 7% (actually 5% after deducting admin fee).

The shopping experience is one of vibrancy & colorful. It’s hassle free and scams are rare.

Worth a mention is the local food available in the food courts. Especially those in Takashimaya and Opera are really diversified and mouth watering good.

If shopping till you drop is your thing, Orchard Road must be on your map.

Here during the virus so I would sometimes take my "hour" of exercise in the form of a "powerwalk Orchard." When I was here in February, it was all about the shopping but this time, I saw all the amazing landmarks and realized the magic of the "old and new" coming together to make up this amazing city. Things to see...the Tang/Marriott (wow, history there), the Wheelock, the apple store, Robinson's department store, the Thai Embassy, and more! One day walking by hotel, a gentleman rushed out and gave me a bottle of water, just because I probably looked like I needed it. The people, the history, the lush tropical plants and blue skies, all merge to make Singapore, a must visit when you come to Southeast Asia! p.s. Did I say it was super clean and you can drink the water?

Bring the big bucks when you go to Orchard Road!! It mall after mall of high-end stores, there must be 3 Louis Vuitton stores within a block. During the holidays, it's light up at night and very active/festive. There is a competition in the city to see who has the best street lights.

We stayed in Orchard Road and it was just a mass of amazing shops and shopping malls. The malls were spectacular but many of the shops were at the top of the top end of the market and goods were quite expensive. However, if you just like looking and not necessarily buying, you could spend a whole day or more just wandering around.

The best place to shop for both the locals and the tourist. It is a long stretch of road lined with various shopping malls located just right next to each other so you can hop from malls to malls conveniently. There are lots of shopping options here , from upscale luxury brands to the more affordable local fashion. Highly recommend to visit Orchard road during December as the whole area will be decorated and lighted up for the festive season.

Paragon, Tangs, Takashimaya, a huge Apple store and lots of hotels. You will surely enjoy a good family time here. My favorite mall to go to is Takashimaya, it has toy stores, a kinokuniya book store and lots of cheap to mid range eateries. The basement is packed with souvenir shops from Godiva to Bak kwa and bakeries shops. There is a Sephora so ladies, orchard road is the place to shop till you drop!

Probably the #1 road that leads to high end retail shopping malls and eateries. An interesting area to view eyepopping window displays Malls and storefronts have contemporary art work. You don't have to shop till you drop. Many cafes and dessert places to grab a drink and rest awhile. No time limit to browse or shop, just take in the street scene.

This road seems to go on forever. There are numerous huge malls on both sides of the street. Whatever you are shopping for, you will find it here. Even if you have no desire to shop, walking along Orchard Road is an awesome experience of sights and sounds. Crossing the street usually requires using underground tunnel walkways which can be a bit confusing but getting lost is sometimes part of the fun of exploring a new city or area.

Orchard Road is huge and crammed with designer shopping malls and interesting architecture. Dior, Gucci, Tiffany, Cartier and dozens more, definitely the place to go for high end shopping. However if you look around there are some very interesting indoor shopping centres with dozens of cheap Chinese shops and great food halls with canteen style tables and delicious and inexpensive food.

Orchard Rd is an iconic street in Singapore and it has morphed into one of the best shopping strips. There are so many malls and centres to choose from and of course, all the high-end brands are there. That said, good old Lucky Plaza is still there catering to more budget conscious tastes in everything from clothing to tech goods. Some of the architecture along Orchard Rd is amazing too, and it is conveniently served by a couple of MRT stations.
