Shopping in Singapore

Singapore's central location in Southeast Asia makes it a great stopping point. That’s why there are no tourists who leave the country without souvenirs and purchases. In Singapore the word shopping is first of all associated with Orchard Road, where major shopping centers (Takashimaya, Paragon, Isetan) are concentrated. The season of the sales in Singapore usually starts in July and last from 3 weeks to a month.

If you are looking for some ethnic stuff, you should go to Serangoon Road and its neighboring side streets, where you can buy Kashmir silk, flower garlands, glittering saris, Chinese calligraphy, Indonesian teak furniture, Thai silk, cooking utensils, Indian spices and jewellery, Vietnamese lacquerwave. Extravagant shopping is something the tuirsts can also do in Singapore. There are Gucci and Louis Vuitton boutiques, fashinable department stores and antique shops.
