Orchard Road, Singapore - High Street Shopping

For a heavy dose of retail therapy in Singapore, then Orchard Road is the place to be. If you are not staying in the area, take the commuter train and stop at the Orchard Road MRT station. Other nearby MRT stations include Dhoby Ghaut and Somerset. At one end of Orchard Road (near the Dhoby Ghaut Station) is the 'Istana', the official residence of Singapore's President - no, you can't visit the place.

Plenty of brand name items with Italian and French sounding names - some familiar, some I have difficulty pronouncing and some I have never heard. I have lost count the number of shopping centres along Orchard Road. Among them are Ngee Ann City (where the Takashimaya department store is situated), Plaza Singapore, CentrePoint and Orchard Point. Shop till you drop in Orchard Road!
