Bus to Bugis Junction from Mandarin Gallery

Bugis Junction Mall

Considered to be one of the most colourful and vibrant shopping mall, this mall is divided into two sections one is the Indoor department and the other is the Open Air Shopping Street. Thanks to these two sections, the mall is basically a combination of a street market and an air conditioned shopping hub combined together. The mall is well connected by road and is quite accessible from the centre of Singapore.

The mall has been strategically designed to make the most of the daylight available. The mall features more international brands compared to local brands. This will surely help people looking forward to have wardrobes as per the recent fashion trends. Global brands like Converse, Lewis, Desigual and Adidas offer some great discounts here. If you feel that the mall is going to be a costly affair compared to the open street market outside that might not be the case as the mall also offers some flash sales. The usual food outlets like KFC, McDonalds also cater to people here. If you are a movie lover the mall has a state of the art modern and futuristic theatre on its top level. Instead of locals, tourists and office goers looking forward to buy things in abundance mostly visit the mall. Apart from international brands the mall is also home to some local brands that are known to sell a great variety of clothing at affordable rates. I would recommend you to visit the mall on a weekday as it is quite crowded on the weekends.
