The 10 kilometre long Orchard Road is possibly the most famous shopping road in the World.

With scores of International hotels and large shopping centres you could spend a week shopping and eating without entering the same establishment twice.

Most shopping centres are open from 10am to 9pm daily except for public holidays.

The more upmarket shopping centres have fixed price items while the general shopping centres where competition is fierce, bartering or haggling is expected. Most of the high-end fashion boutiques are situated along this stretch of shopping paradise.

Expect to wait for up to half an hour if trying to catch a taxi along this road during the main tourist season in the late afternoons.
