Bugis Junction, Singapore

Shopping:

There are 2 places one should go shopping if you like to try your bargaining skills. One is right opposite to Bugis Junction shopping plaza. This is a vast market and everything can be bargained here. You need to get off at Bugis MRT to go to this market.
The other one is a flea market in China Town area. As the name suggests, one need to get off at China Town MRT station.
Please do look into Singapore Strait Times for Sales adverts as there are always sales in some of the shopping malls. We found looking at the daily newspaper was the best way to get informed.

Walk around the Bangkok style markets ant Bugis Village to find yourself a bargain.

There is clothing, jewellery, leather goods, ceramics CD's & DVD's and of course the omnipresent food stalls.

We shopped here on our last visit and had to return again. A smaller center with plenty of choice. Local department store, food outlet, shoes shoes shoes, clothing, electronics etc.

I bought 8 pairs of shoes on this trip and have ended up with lots of teasing, but shoes are so different to the run of th mill stuff I see at home and so much cheaper. I got 2 pairs of leather court shoes for S$120 total- the most expensive buy of the trip. Most averaged about S$40 each.

Bugis is an easy train ride from most points.

What to buy: Shoes, as long as your feet are not too big. Mine are size 39 (US womens 8) and i had no problems!

What to pay: As much as you want too! There are all ranges of markets, we do not do the high end stuff, but there are designer stores everywhere. Plenty of lower end shops as well!

Bugis Junction is a large shopping complex with a glass sunroof walkway and retro architecture.

It is a very popular hang-out place for Singaporean youth. Therefore, it is a really good place to look for trendy clothing and accessories.

As with most large malls in the country it also offers a lot of variety on food.

There are also other shops selling electronic products, opticians and stationery but this is the place to go if you are primarily looking for clothes and accessories to buy for your teenage children/nephew/nieces etc.

Bugis junction is a nice place to go shopping. Here you can find alot of nice soverniors. You can find anything here and the prices is very cheap. Its your one stop bargain stop ;0) Its also situated in a good location. So just take the MRT to Bugis station and when you pop out...vola you here ;0P What was funny about this place was amongst all the shops here... hey a sex shop in the middle of everything. I found it abit odd but had to laugh as I passed by.

if u want to haggle bangkok-style, go to bugis junction..u could buy singapore souvenirs(refrigerator magnets and keys) cheaper than in Chinatown. magnets could sell as low as 5 for S$10. 1 pack of keys(5 individual) for S$8...haggle nice and easy, i found haggling in singapore harder than in bangkok..

Our fave place. Why??, many nice stuffs, street food and cheaper price. I was quite surprised to find Sex Shop casually located in the middle of bag and fashion shops. Bags and shirts, also girls accessories such as bead necklace are easy to find here. It’s a nice place to buy souvenirs for people back home.
