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.
