 Orchard Road
Named after the nutmeg orchards from the 1830’s, this area is the main shopping district of Singapore.
From Orchard Road to City Hall, the streets are lined with sleek, modern shopping centres offering anything from exclusive designer labels and Harajuku-style, street vintage shops to popular food courts and fine restaurants.
Especially packed in the weekends, visitors can escape from the crowds by moving towards Bras Basah Road, where colonial architecture, Singapore Art Museum and National Museum of Singapore can be found.
In December, Orchard is transformed into a Christmas attraction full of photo opportunities with over-the-top yuletide décor and lighting.

 Sentosa Island
Right across the waters from VivoCity, Sentosa Island is a great escapade with some of Singapore’s best beaches.
Arguably the best way to get to Sentosa, the cable car offers you stunning scenery from all sides.
At Underwater World, marvel at stingrays gliding by just inches above you.
Up on the Merlion, enjoy the breathtaking 360-degree view before heading to the famous Song of the Sea, a mesmerising evening show with plenty of creative effects.
A monorail brings you everywhere with ease.
Sentosa is also home to resorts, spas and is expecting a Universal Studios theme park in 2010.

Singapore Bars & Cocktail Lounges
Another Oriental paean to the west, this ultra-modern city of soaring skyscrapers and commercial efficiency is the world's busiest port and often ridiculed for its sterility. But behind the spotlessly clean streets and sanitized shopping malls it's a cultural melting pot - home to hundreds of different Asian peoples who fuse languages and looks and food and religion to create an exciting, vibrant whole. Sure, Singapore doesn't have the edginess of Bangkok or the style of Hong Kong but, like Tokyo, its tradition is still intact - just well hidden. Add to the Oriental mix some colonial British history such as at Raffles, the world's most famous hotels, and the visitor never lacks for variety or places to drink in. And all on an island barely 26 miles long. Singapore Sling anyone? more...
