Shopping
Singapore is a shopper's dream, and a bargain hunter's idea of heaven! Visitors usually express only one concern "so many shops ... so little time". Well, not if you are within Asia's Convention City.
For visiting convention delegates, a leisurely walk from their hotels via the shopping malls and the interconnecting walkways and underpasses is certainly less stressful than either hunting down a taxi or catching a shuttle bus from the hotel. With 1000 retail shops, there's something for everyone from designer boutiques to discount shops ... and all within a 15-munite's walk.
Suntec City Mall is Singapore's largest shopping and entertainment centre with 888,000 square feet of great shopping experience. The Mall is divided into four thematic zones, and has 250 retail, dining and entertainment outlets. Over 70 fashion, footwear and accessory outlets stocking famous brands make this a "must-visit" destination. The Mall offers service desks, dental, medical, laundry, banking - all designed to enhance the shopping.
The Galleria showcases a wide selection of famous brand names alongside souvenir shops. Besides G2000 flagship store, Mango's largest Asia store is also located here.
Speciality shops offering home furnishings, casual wear, lingerie and leisure products are located in the Tropics zone. Worldwide French hyper mart Carrefour boasts some of the lowest prices in town.
At the 'heart' and civic core of the mall is the Fountain of Wealth, certified as the world's largest fountain by The Guinness Book of Records.
Marina Square With over 250 outlets, this is one of the largest shopping malls in Singapore and has been described as a 'One-Stop Mega Shopping Mall'. The Mall is centrally located in the Marina Centre with direct linkage to Citylink Mall, Suntec City, Millenia Walk, Esplanade - Theatres on the Bay. It comprises 4 levels of shopping with more than 250 exquisite shops in a wide variety of exciting shop mix. The major tenants include Golden Village Cineplex, Superbowl and a large food court. The hyper mart chain, Giant, is expected to move in later this year.
Millenia Walk This is a shopping experience with a difference. With over 200 shops offering a mixed range of designer and street smart clothes with brand names, you are almost guaranteed to find everything you can imagine, however it is the ambience that sets apart this shopping experience. Located along a private street at Millenia Walk, Time Square offers a fusion of urban art forms and architecture that creates a friendly and vibrant shopping environment.
Raffles City Mall Featuring a major Department Store and Gourmet Supermarket, this centre also has over 100 specialty shops, including Marks & Spencer. A concierge service offers shoppers a friendly information service plus those little extras like gift wrapping. The shopping mall is directly linked to the City Hall MRT Station. The complex also houses two hotels, a variety of restaurants, a convention centre and numerous speciality shops. Watches, jewellery, electronics, optical goods and cameras are well represented.
Shopping is indeed one of the greatest pleasures in Singapore!
