READY, SET, SHOP!
Shopping is one of Singapore’s national pastimes, and you couldn’t have picked a better time to be here in this amazing city if you’re looking to nab some great deals. The Great Singapore
Sale (known as ‘the GSS’ to locals) is a highlight of the year for shopaholics, with retailers discounting original prices by anything up to 70%. You’ll find great deals on just about
everything, from fashion to jewellery, electronics to toys, even spa treatments, hotel stays, restaurants and bars, and visits to local attractions; it’s a bargain hunter’s dream!
The Red Dot may be small in size, but there are numerous shopping districts to discover and
explore, from the glossy designer stores lining Orchard Road, to the offbeat quirkiness of local boutiques in some of Singapore’s hippest neighbourhoods. For more information on
the best shopping spots, take a look at the handy guides inside.
At some point, you’ll want to leave the shops and malls for authentic local experiences in Singapore. Whether you have a week to dive deep or a weekend to scratch the surface, you’ll
discover Singapore’s secrets at every turn. There are rich cultural experiences, stylish bars, innovative restaurants, hawkers serving authentic local dishes, incredible landscapes and so much more to discover. For further inspiration, take a look inside at the top 10 things to do
during the GSS.
UnionPay is the new official card of the GSS. Make the most of the sale with a UnionPay card: it makes shopping easy! Widely accepted throughout Singapore, and the rest of the
world, you can rest assured all of your transactions will be efficient, cost-effective and secure. What’s more, you’ll receive additional promotions, offers, benefits and more during the

ORCHARD ROAD Any shopaholic worth their salt knows that
Orchard Road is the place for your shopping pilgrimage. With swanky shopping malls
lining the entire stretch, your only question will be: where to begin? Find big-name
brands and high-street favourites at ION Orchard and Paragon, and head to Orchard
Central to find some of the best local designers Singapore has to offer.
TIONG BAHRU
Old-world charm meets offbeat quirkiness in Singapore’s hippest neighbourhood: Tiong Bahru. Pound the history-laden pavements
of Eng Hoon Street, Moh Guan Terrace, Seng Poh Road, and Chay Yan Street for an eclectic mix of fashion, homewares, books,
and everything else in between.
KAMPONG GLAM This former Arab enclave is now a must-visit for any fashionista seeking unique finds at
wallet-friendly prices. Look out for Haji Lane: a deceptively innocuous street offering one-of-a-kind apparel, accessories, and
hole-in-the-wall boutiques. And don’t forget to take a stroll along the parallel stretches of Kandahar Street and Bali Lane where you’ll
find more niche, boutique stores. Done with shopping? Check out the numerous
museums, national monuments, and temples that line the streets too!
CHINATOWN
Straddling the line between old and new is Chinatown, the heritage-rich enclave that’s
buzzing all year round. But make no mistake: this kitschy tourist hotspot is also home to
hidden shopping gems. Get your hands on stylish threads unique to Singapore that
aren’t your run-of-the-mill high street finds. Look out for Amoy Street and Club Street in
particular!
MARINA BAY Undoubtedly, Marina Bay is Singapore’s
swankiest shopping district with glitzy malls peppered all around the city centre. The crown jewel of the area? The Shoppes at Marina Bay Sands, of course, where
shoppers can get their designer fix with high-end luxury labels like Maison Martin Margiela, Diane von Furstenberg, Armani,
and Moschino – credit cards, beware!
Further North towards the City Hall district lies a host of retail options, and new to the
scene is Capitol Piazza, a swish shopping complex where the historic Capitol Theatre once stood. Hit the racks of trend-setting
international and local boutiques that’ll have you reaching for your wallets.
HARBOURFRONT Leave the hustle and bustle of the city centre and head south to VivoCity. This ginormous mall is home to international
high street brands and local gems you won’t find elsewhere. And once you’ve maxed
out the plastic, cross the bridge to Sentosa island to hit the beach and take in the
dazzling array of tourist attractions.
