| Shopping in Singapore need not be confined to Orchard Road or its vicinity. There are many other places to visit within the country. Shoppers will be able to find a variety of goods in shopping centers and even small shops around the city and suburbs. |
Bugis Road
From alleyways to sailors' haunts, Bugis Road has transformed to become a highly urbanized and sophisticated area. Shophouses have been restored; new shopping complexes and office tower blocks have been erected, thus making it possibly one of the best known places in Singapore. Although highly modernized, care has been made to ensure the area's old-world charms are not taken away. Small shops line the streets selling everything from electronic items to clothes. With the addition of Bugis Junction, a trendy mall, visitors will definitely enjoy the fascinating mix of old and new cultures blended together. Bugis Junction, on its own, is a great place to visit. A Japanese retailer is located within its premises, as well as various specialty shops that cater to people of all ages and groups. |
