Singapore is a fashionista
haven – a land where you can shop till you drop (literally and figuratively).
If you visit Singapore and you have shopping in mind, ready your credit cards
and moolahs as this country has lots to offer for you. So where can you shop in
Singapore? Here are some of the places I’ve been to if I want to go on a
shopping spree.
Marina Bay Sands Shoppes
In Marina Bay Sands Shoppes
you can find famous fashion houses like Prada, Gucci, Balenciaga, Givenchy,
Dior and much more. If you are a Louis Vuitton fanatic like me, you can visit their Louis Vuitton store just outside the bay area. Trust me; this place has
everything you want if you love branded clothes, bags and shoes.
Orchard Road

The famous shopping place in
Singapore is the Orchard Road. The entire road is full of shopping malls and designer
shops where you can buy the latest fashion trends. Go to ION Orchard and you
can see tourists and locals alike shopping like there is no tomorrow. If you
walk along Orchard road, you can also visit Takashimaya, Paragon, Ngee Ann City,
Orchard Central, Tangs, Robinsons, Isetan and a lot more. These malls have different
designer label stores like Hermes, Gucci, Prada, Alfred Dunhill, Salvatore
Ferragamo, Louis Vuitton, Armani Exchange and a lot more. Down further there is
a big H&M store where you can buy clothes, shoes and fashion accessories to
suit your style.
Changi City Point
If you are in the Changi area
or you want to visit another shopping mall before going to the airport, you can
go to the Changi City Point. You can ride the green line. You cannot miss it
because it is directly opposite the Expo MRT Station. No hassle even if you have
your bags and trolleys in tow. Factory outlets of Adidas and Nike are there so
if you want to buy sports goodies, then this is your place. Other brands have
factory outlets as well like Pedro and Lacoste. So expect much cheaper
prices.

GST Refund
The great thing about shopping
in Singapore if you are tourists is that you can claim a GST (Goods and Services
Tax) refund for some products. If you purchase goods in Singapore, try to ask
your shopping assistants if you are eligible to get a GST refund so that you can
claim it in the airport as you exit Singapore.
So what are you waiting for?
Go to Singapore and experience a life of a shopaholic!
