Things to do in Orchard & Botanic Gardens

Orchard Road is Singapore's shopping boulevard, lined with malls from luxury flagships to food courts. Nearby are the Singapore Botanic Gardens, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with the National Orchid Garden, and the restaurants of leafy Dempsey Hill.

Good to knowOrchard, Somerset and Dhoby Ghaut MRT stations sit along the boulevard, and Botanic Gardens MRT stops at the gardens' northern edge. The air-conditioned malls and underground links make this a good plan for a rainy afternoon.
