The undisputed hub of shopping in Singapore is Orchard
Road, where if you're really keen you can spend a good two days looking for
good buys. The road stretches from Plaza Singapura in the east to Tanglin
Mall in the west, and between these two points are retail stalwarts such as
Centrepoint, The Heeren, The Promenade, Takashimaya, Tangs, Wisma Atria and
Shaw House. Don't forget Scotts Road, an off shoot from Orchard Road, where
you will find the popular Scotts Shopping Centre. Everyone goes to Orchard
Road to do their shopping, especially for clothes. You can get a variety of
brands here, ranging from designer labels like Louis Vuitton to fairly cheap
wear like U2 and Giordano.
Much
more than a shopping complex, in addition to its 300 retail outlets,
VivoCity is home to an outdoor amphitheatre, open-air playground, rooftop
sky park, permanent art displays, a full calendar of enthralling festivals
and events, immense open plaza and 300-metre harbor front promenade.
Designed by world-renowned architect Toyo Ito, VivoCity’s structure was
inspired by its unique harbor front location, evoking images of waves in the
sea. An iconic, world-class destination, VivoCity takes its name from
“vivacity” and is already stimulating local and foreign visitors with its
unrivalled mix of activities and electric atmosphere.
Dine alfresco, splash out with the kids at the rooftop sky park with its
vast water feature spanning the area of four Olympic-sized pools, or enjoy a
laid-back waterfront stroll along the promenade.
Just a five-minute drive from Singapore’s CBD, and a short 10 minutes
from Orchard Road, VivoCity’s retail experience caters for everyone, with
stores ranging from fashion to home ware, toys to entertainment. The centre
also houses new concept stores and just-launched labels not found anywhere
else in Singapore. Popular shops include Esprit, Marks and Spencer, Toys r
Us, Gap, Ted Baker, Coulisse and Every Woman.
Cementing its reputation as a cultural and lifestyle destination,
VivoCity’s rooftop amphitheatre is fully equipped with the latest lighting
and sound technology, and will be used to showcase Singapore’s vibrant arts
and music scene with a busy schedule of concerts, dance and cultural shows.
And its three professionally designed event spaces, with absolute top of the
range facilities will attract both MICE events and casual exhibitions,
luring visitors from around the world.
