Singapore is a commercial and leisure hub of Asia and is visited by millions of tourists each year. The little island is found below the tip of the Malay Peninsula and is quite densely populated. Although the country is highly urbanised, a large portion of land is actually covered in greenery. Singapore has numerous tourist attractions and offers visitors an endless list of things to do. It is a convenient place to visit as the public transport system is top notch and accommodation is easy to find. The country also has a lively night scene and has many shopping malls.

Visitors who want to do a bit of shopping can start at Orchard Road. The road was built by 1830 and was given its name because of the fruit and spice plantations that it originally led to. The road and the area around it have faced major transformations over time. Currently, Orchard Road is Singapore’s premier shopping destination. The famous street is filled with the trendiest shops, selling nothing but the latest wares.

The street is roughly two kilometres long and is a hub for shopping and entertainment. It is also a highly popular tourist attraction and no trip to the island can be considered complete without visiting the place. It is quite easy to get here. The City Hall, Dhobi Ghaut, Somerset and Orchard MRT stations are all found nearby. The best way to explore the famous shopping street is by foot. There is an impressive list of malls found here. These include the Far East Plaza, Wheelock Place, ION Orchard, CK Tangs (one of the oldest establishments here), Orchard Central and Plaza Singapura. The road is also a great place to grab a bite to eat or watch a movie.
