It's a delight to shop in the lively city of Singapore . With designer boutiques, local and international department stores, speciality shops and bargain counters, cafes and restaurants, shopping is truly a pleasure here.

With over 250 malls, the shopping avenues in Singapore are endless. Orchard Road is a favourite among shoppers with malls selling clothes, shoes, electronics goods, furniture, rugs, cosmetics.

Kampong Glam & Arab Street, Bugis, Geylang Serai, Marina Bay, Little India, North Bridge Road, Raffles Place Riverside are must-visits. The Riverside area by River Valley Road houses the newest and oldest shops in Singapore. Raffles Place and Shenton Way are crowded shopping areas for a variety of stuff.

Also look out for unique arts, antiques, handicrafts and carpets. Singapore organizes a mid-year sale, which is the best time to go for shopping.
