Orchard is synonymous with shopping (in Singapore and across Southeast Asia), and with that come a never-ending selection of cafes, restaurants, and bars, for any tastes and budget.
In Singapore, nothing is more central than Orchard, providing convenient access to every corner of the city. From the CBD and Marina Bay, to the western neighbourhoods, everything is just a convenient short ride from Orchard.
A stroll along Orchard is on every tour book in Singapore, and not just Orchard Road itself, but also all the little street around (from Emerald Hill to Tanglin Road and Oxley Road) offer plenty to do and see.
