The center of tourist life in Singapore is the bustling Orchard Road. This street can rightfully be called one of the most beautiful streets in the world. There are popular shopping centers and entertainment venues, restaurants and bars. The street length is 2.2 km. The name of the place has its legend. The very first road there was built in the 19th century. It led to the local plantations of nutmeg.

Today, one of the main decorations of the historic road are huge Angsana trees, in the shade of which it’s so pleasant to walk even in the hottest day. The picturesque street is full of beautiful modern buildings. Unique landscape decorations can be seen there too. On the eve of holidays, the street is always adorned with spectacular art installations and illumination. The Orchard Road is especially beautiful in the New Year's Eve. The street is very comfortable for pedestrians, despite the fact that cars are allowed to drive there.
There are comfortable tunnels and transitions, so pedestrians can easily go to any shopping or entertainment place. Once on this colorful lively street, you can be lost among its bustle and bright colors for the whole day. Many tourists spend here all the daytime. They taste the specialties of national restaurants, buy souvenirs, and take pictures close to the most unusual buildings and landscape decorations. Orchard Road has become one of the main landmarks of Singapore. Each year huge sums are invested in the reconstruction and improvement of the street.
