Shopping on Orchard Road is definitely a great experience as there are so many shops and almost every designer has a boutique there. However, it can be rather sweaty if you are on the street between 11am to 4pm. So, I would hide in a department store like Takashimaya during that period of time. There are lots of nice restaurants... More

Ok -so we are older travellers and perhaps pretty cynical and certainly we don't like noisy, flashy, brash places much but we wondered what the fuss was about Orchard Road. All of this stuff you can buy all over the world now easily and more cheaply I would think. There are malls and department stores and Starbucks and Mackers and... More

The lights are dazzling during the christmas light up and everything looks quite magical. We shopped for a lot of goodies and with the christmas sales on, we could really stretch the dollar. It rained during the christmas floats but even then the crowds didn't lessen. The traffic gets a bit too much though and jams are common, getting a... More

This is not the Orchard Road of my memory, all the shops are underground, and the few on the outside did not appeal to me, in 2007 i found it a lot better, I would not look to go there again or stay in that area. And all that is left of Tangs is the roof and red poles.

You must walk this strip, its historic and so beautiful to wander around. Raffles is so expensive, but costs nothing to wander around, taking pics.

I have done many of what people claim are the best places for shopping in the world and I am afraid Dubai, London, New York etc all have to move aside as Orchard Road deserves to be right in there with that company. Personally I think Orchard Road and Las Vegas are two best shopping experiences in the world. And... More

You definetely have to go here even if just to see it. I have never seen so many shopping centres in the one place before. You can buy cheaper label clothing such as Esprit or cotton on kids but the majority of the shopping is expensive labels. If you dont have thousands to spend on bags and clothing etc then... More
