The nation state of Singapore witnessed rapid development in the past 60 years and is currently a global business centre attracting thousands daily to her shores. This city state off the tip of the Malay Peninsula has many attractions from the adventure packed Sentosa Island to the famed Gardens by the Bay. Once you have visited the Red Dot Museum, strolled through Fort Canning Park and was mesmerised by the stunning views atop Marina Bay Sands Skypark, what better way is there than to indulge in some retail therapy to wrap up the perfect day?

Of course, the famed Orchard Road would be a good place to start but for a different experience, visit the Bugis Village. Accessible via public transport, the village is only a quick five minute walk from the Bugis MRT and once you get there, be prepared to be stunned by the array of goods on sale.

One of the advantages of shopping here rather than the high end malls and outlets is that the prices of goods tend to be much lower and the other advantage is that the variety of goods sold in Bugis Village is extremely wide and ranges from clothing items to discontinued currency. Rest assured, you will definitely find something that you like here.

In terms of clothes, dresses and tops come in a myriad of styles. While the floral print appears to be very popular among most stores, so are clothes in pastel shades as well as country inspired outfits. Furthermore, one may also come across the unconventional leather jacket or two, fake leather of course, but nevertheless attractive. When it comes to accessorising, Bugis Village pulls out all the stops with themed jewellery inspired from the early 20th century to earrings made of wood and metal. A number of hand bags as well as shoes are also sold so that shoppers can mix and match their purchases to suit their needs. The Bugis Village is the place to shop if you wish to put together an entire outfit without much hassle and without spending excessively. After a fulfilling evening of shopping, you would surely wish to return to a serviced apartment Singapore to enjoy the rest of your night. If you are searching for Singapore serviced apartments to reside in and wish for privacy and a convenient location for shopping, look no further than the Somerset Bencoolen Singapore located within close proximity to both Orchard Road and the Bugis area.
