Accommodation

One can’t possibly sleep in the streets, even though Singapore is known for its low crime rate. There are many types of accommodation options available in Singapore, from luxury hotels to home stays or you can easily find a luxury rental in Singapore. It all depends on your budget. I will recommend that one of the best places to stay in is around Bugis area, especially for the budget-conscious travellers. As Singapore is a small country, you will find that it is one of the most accessible places to anywhere that you want to go.

Shopping

There are many shopping centers in Singapore. The largest so far is Vivo City. It is located just next to Harbour front. The largest Golden Village cinema is also located at Vivo City. There are many shopping centers located along the famous Orchard Road where light ups are present during festive occasions like Christmas and Chinese New Year. Shopping centers along Orchard Road includes Plaza Singapura, Centrepoint, Paragon, Tangs and Takashimaya.
