    Busy but beautiful at Christmas
    We came at Christmas time, the light display on Orchard Road is beautiful, probably the best I have ever seen on a main street. Christmas Music is playing from the speakers, lots of little photo opportunities everywhere. Shops are expensive, everywhere is busy.

    Shop till you drop
    From searching out bargains at Lucky Plaza to shopping our way through Paragon, Takashimaya, Ion Orchard and the rest. you can spend many days finding different delights at Food Republic or checking out pastries at Johan Isetan. This is my 4th visit to Singapore and I'm still finding new things to experience.

    Not luxury place anymore
    Not luxury place anymore if I compare with the luxury shopping mall in Jakarta, Indonesia. The shopping mall buildings look so average not cozy anymore. But, there are so many shops & worldwide brand available at there.

    Shopping (and eating) street
    Not quite tokyo ginza or new york 5th avenue, but probably top 10 in the world for shopping street. There is high end luxury to mid tier brands. Also a plethora of restaurants. Key malls include Ion, Paragon, Ngee Ann city

    Nothing but high end designer shops
    If you are coming from Europe or UK then Orchard road will not appeal to you as majority of the shops are available back home, and its not cheaper on orchard road. Dont waste your time shopping there, spend it sight seeing or visiting local areas like paddington. Orchard road is like bond street in London, all high end designers.

    So much to see!
    We visited Orchard Road in May 2023. This area is rich with varieties of high-end and bespoke retail stores. There is so much to see in this area (and buy)! We only saw a small portion of Orchard Road but thoroughly enjoyed it. Definitely a must-see!

    Shopping and eating
    The shopping belt and street of singapore, much like new york’s fifth avenue or tokyo’s ginza. The grand and best malls are Ion, Paragon and Ngee Ann city. The rest are less glitzy and some rather run down

    Shopping on steroids!
    We spent a little time walking around Orchard Rd, but it was really just shopping and more shopping. Didn’t feel like there was much else to see, but it’s possible we just missed that. Probably wouldn’t make this a stop if I go back, but it was fine for the first visit.

Shop till you drop!
Jan 2020
Orchard Road is a paradise for shopping and eating.

Almost all international brands are represented sometimes in multiple locations in Orchard.

Goods especially branded stuff in Singapore are generally cheaper than its neighboring countries. Furthermore, tourists can get a tax refund of 7% (actually 5% after deducting admin fee).

The shopping experience is one of vibrancy & colorful. It’s hassle free and scams are rare.

Worth a mention is the local food available in the food courts. Especially those in Takashimaya and Opera are really diversified and mouth watering good.

If shopping till you drop is your thing, Orchard Road must be on your map.

Spectacular buildings of old and new Singapore!
Apr 2020
Here during the virus so I would sometimes take my "hour" of exercise in the form of a "powerwalk Orchard." When I was here in February, it was all about the shopping but this time, I saw all the amazing landmarks and realized the magic of the "old and new" coming together to make up this amazing city. Things to see...the Tang/Marriott (wow, history there), the Wheelock, the apple store, Robinson's department store, the Thai Embassy, and more! One day walking by hotel, a gentleman rushed out and gave me a bottle of water, just because I probably looked like I needed it. The people, the history, the lush tropical plants and blue skies, all merge to make Singapore, a must visit when you come to Southeast Asia! p.s. Did I say it was super clean and you can drink the water?

Visit at dusk
Dec 2019
Bring the big bucks when you go to Orchard Road!! It mall after mall of high-end stores, there must be 3 Louis Vuitton stores within a block. During the holidays, it's light up at night and very active/festive. There is a competition in the city to see who has the best street lights.

A shoppers paradise
Jan 2020
We stayed in Orchard Road and it was just a mass of amazing shops and shopping malls. The malls were spectacular but many of the shops were at the top of the top end of the market and goods were quite expensive. However, if you just like looking and not necessarily buying, you could spend a whole day or more just wandering around.

The best place to shop for both the locals and the tourist. It is a long stretch of road lined with various shopping malls located just right next to each other so you can hop from malls to malls conveniently. There are lots of shopping options here , from upscale luxury brands to the more affordable local fashion. Highly recommend to visit Orchard road during December as the whole area will be decorated and lighted up for the festive season.

Branded shopping and lots of Restaurants
Feb 2020 • Couples
Paragon, Tangs, Takashimaya, a huge Apple store and lots of hotels. You will surely enjoy a good family time here. My favorite mall to go to is Takashimaya, it has toy stores, a kinokuniya book store and lots of cheap to mid range eateries. The basement is packed with souvenir shops from Godiva to Bak kwa and bakeries shops. There is a Sephora so ladies, orchard road is the place to shop till you drop!

Orchard Road
Nov 2019
Probably the #1 road that leads to high end retail shopping malls and eateries. An interesting area to view eyepopping window displays Malls and storefronts have contemporary art work. You don't have to shop till you drop. Many cafes and dessert places to grab a drink and rest awhile. No time limit to browse or shop, just take in the street scene.

Shoppers paradise
Mar 2019
This road seems to go on forever. There are numerous huge malls on both sides of the street. Whatever you are shopping for, you will find it here. Even if you have no desire to shop, walking along Orchard Road is an awesome experience of sights and sounds. Crossing the street usually requires using underground tunnel walkways which can be a bit confusing but getting lost is sometimes part of the fun of exploring a new city or area.

Expensive!
Jan 2020
Orchard Road is huge and crammed with designer shopping malls and interesting architecture. Dior, Gucci, Tiffany, Cartier and dozens more, definitely the place to go for high end shopping. However if you look around there are some very interesting indoor shopping centres with dozens of cheap Chinese shops and great food halls with canteen style tables and delicious and inexpensive food.

If you enjoy shopping - this is the spot!
Feb 2020
Orchard Rd is an iconic street in Singapore and it has morphed into one of the best shopping strips. There are so many malls and centres to choose from and of course, all the high-end brands are there. That said, good old Lucky Plaza is still there catering to more budget conscious tastes in everything from clothing to tech goods. Some of the architecture along Orchard Rd is amazing too, and it is conveniently served by a couple of MRT stations.
