Home to Singapore’s most famous shop­ping precinct, Orchard Road offers vis­i­tors thou­sands of busi­ness­es which include all kinds of shops, restau­rants, cafes, hotels, and night­clubs.

The rough­ly 2‑k­ilo­me­tre-long road dates back to the 1830s when at that time it was unnamed. It was lat­er named Orchard Road due to the fact the road once led to a num­ber of fruit orchards as well as nut­meg and pep­per plan­ta­tions.

You will find the offi­cial res­i­dence of Singapore’s pres­i­dent at the east­ern end of Orchard Road and the 160-year-old lush Sin­ga­pore Botan­ic Gar­dens towards the west­ern end.
