VivoCity

Mammoth waterfront mall with a high street focus
Word to the wise: When the heat gets too much for you, take some time out around the shallow pool at the rooftop SkyPark.

As the largest shopping mall in one of the most shopping-oriented cities in the world, VivoCity has a lot to live up to. Extending across 24 hectares of Singapore's waterfront, this colossal edifice houses dozens of shops, a multiplex cinema, an alfresco dining area and an open-air playground.
High-street brands dominate VivoCity—Zara, GAP, Uniqlo, Forever 21, ESPRIT, Cotton On, Pull & Bear, Topshop, ALDO and Mango all have outlets here. But don't just content yourself with shopping; the excellent rooftop food court is a welcome diversion.
