About Orchard Road

If shopping is at the top of your to-do list for a holiday, you make want to make Orchard Road your new home. What started as an ordinary street of fruit and nutmeg orchards is now one of Asia's premier shopping destinations. There are over 5000 stops on the road for unique shopping and dining experiences. You can visit Tangs, the first supermarket in the area. The other end of the spectrum is ION orchard, a high-end mall with many luxurious brands like Prada, Armani, Gucci among others. The ion orchard also has a very dazzling exterior structure. There is also the Tanglin Mall, Orchard Central, Far East Plaza and so many more. When the retail excursions tire you out, choose from a list of exclusive dining and wining options such as the Wild Honey or the Manhattan, or swing by one of the many fast food for a quick fix. The street is well connected by public transport and an underground escalator network. During festivals, the road and its buildings are all decorated to reflect the festivities for the people.
