Shopping is one of the greatest pleasures in Singapore. Part of the fun is the excellent buys and great variety of shops all over the island. Delight in a bargain at a little neighborhood shop, pick up a quaint item or two as you stroll through colorful ethnic districts, discover favorite buys of the droves who flock to our modern malls or be enthralled by the splendor of whole shopping "cities" selling everything under the sun.

Retail stores operate from Sunday to Thursday 10:30 a.m. to 9 p.m., Friday to Saturday 10.30 a.m. to 9.30 p.m.

Here are some great places for shopping:

Arabs Street - Arab Street is a repository culture for Singapore's Muslim community, with its focal point being the Sultan Mosque. Here, you will find the biggest concentration of Muslim restaurants and shops selling merchandise from all over the Islamic world. These shops are a riot of colour, displaying textiles, antiques, jewellery, artifacts and basket ware. Textile stores are the most prominent, their walls and doorways draped with vibrant rolls of cloths and batiks. At one end of Arab Street near North Bridge Road, you may even get to mix your own perfume from a selection of aromatics like musk, lavender, honeysuckle and jasmine.

Boat Quay - One of the best spots in Singapore to alfresco dining. And who would have foreseen that back when the area was still a cargo-loading bay? A popular hangout for locals, expatriates and tourists, Boat Quay now boasts chic cafes, high-end restaurants, yuppie pubs and designer galleries. Rather than cargoes of trade, you find the riverside today awash with tables set up for alfresco dining. This picturesque, though busy, stretch offers great views of the Singapore River and part of the colonial district.

China Town - Although largely scarred by redevelopment, Chinatown today still contains pockets of genuinely old shophouses where age-old trades like clog-making and calligraphy continue to be practiced. Paper effigies of cars, houses and other material objects are still being made for the deceased. These are then burnt, in the belief that they will raise the standard of living of the deceased in the next world. For tea connoisseurs, a visit to a tea house is a must, not only to relish the flavour of Chinese tea, but also to experience the traditional art of tea-brewing.

Little India - Awash with scents and sights of the subcontinent, this is a microcosm of India where every imaginable Indian product can be found: trinkets, sarees, spices, sweetmeats, nose studs, flower garlands and anything else that an Indian household needs. Traces of Hinduism are found everywhere, from the elaborate temples to wall calendars with pictures of Hindu deities. On Sundays, Indian locals and foreign workers flock the streets to eat, chat, shop and worship. Hard though it is to walk through the crowds, this is a unique spectacle you should not miss.

Orchard Road - Singapore's Champs-Élysees stretches 2.5 kilometres long and is said to have the largest concentration of shopping malls worldwide. Originally a nutmeg and pepper plantation, Orchard Road today is lined with ritzy malls, swanky eateries and luxury hotels from end to end. The more notable shopping centres include Ngee Ann City, Tangs Department Store, Wisma Atria, The Heeren and Centrepoint. Nevertheless, some old portions of the street have managed to escape the bulldozers, particularly the peranakan shophouses near Emerald Hill, built at the turn of the 20th century.

Sentosa - This modern resort island south of Singapore is more than just sentosa (tranquil). Apart from 3.2 kilometres of white sandy beaches and lush tropical fauna, it offers a kaleidoscope of historical enclaves, adventure parks, landscaped gardens and a variety of museums. The Underwater World, for instance, is Asia's largest tropical fish oceanarium.

With so many attractions awaiting you, it is best to come early, take the monorail to get your bearings and plan your itinerary first. Or check into one of the resorts and enjoy the island's never-ending bliss piecemeal and thoroughly.
