Buying Half The World At Prices That Don't Cost the Earth

Shopping is one of the major attractions in Singapore and it is no wonder. This duty-free port is truly a paradise for shoppers.

Goods from the four corners of the earth can be found here. You can discover trinkets and treasures in surroundings reminiscent of an oriental bazaar or shop in the comfort of modern air-conditioned shopping complexes. Stores are generally open ten to twelve hours a day seven days a week.

A Vast Array of Merchandise

The variety of goods in store for you in Singapore is mind-boggling. Asian handicrafts or European haute couture; hand-knotted carpets or the latest in cameras and electronic equipment; fine jewellery and quality fashionwear or toys and sporting equipment- the list is endless.

Protection for the Shopper

The Good Retailers Scheme established by the Singapore Tourist Promotion Board and Consumers Association of Singapore assures customers of high quality goods and reliable service in shops displaying the red and white Merlion symbol. These retailers protect you from counterfeit, damaged or pirated goods and give proper receipts.

Singapore Handicrafts

If you are looking for great gifts and souvenirs of your holiday here, one place worth trying is the Singapore Handicraft Centre at Chinatown Point. Boasting more than 60 shops, the Centre is a veritable Aladdin's Cave of Oriental treasures. Scroll paintings, intricate jade carvings, lacquer boxes, silver and pewterware, Chinese seals and embroidered quilts fill the stores. Visitors may find the medicine shops offering Chinese curative herbs and tonics of special interest.
