Insiders’ tips
Insiders’ tips
- Bring plenty of cash in if you wish to shop as most vendors here prefer cash transactions.
- It is advisable to wear light and breathable clothing as the weather can get pretty hot.
- As it can be crowded, do beware of pickpockets. Always be alert on the whereabouts of your belongings and keep your possessions close to you at all times.
- Some shops have a fixed-price policy, while others are open for bargaining. Snatch the best deals by going to several shops, enquire about the final price and compare before buying.
- Do beware of the quality of cheap goods. As a general rule, the quality will be proportionate to the price.
- There are plenty of snacks available at Bugis Street. If you are looking to fill your tummy with heavier meals, head over to Albert Centre and order from a wide selection of meals.
