Queensway Shopping Centre in Singapore
As one of Singapore’s oldest shopping malls, Queensway Shopping Centre is a well- known destination for buying products, dining and socializing. It first opened its doors in 1976 and, over the years, has developed a reputation as a central location for buying sports equipment and apparel.
In other words, if you are looking for any sports-related products, this is one of the best places to shop! Prices are very competitive and are considered to be some of the cheapest in Singapore!
Queensway Shopping Centre is considered to be one of Singapore’s first multi-purpose shopping complexes. The Mall component of the complex consists of 4 levels and a basement carpark, but it is attached to a large 13-storey apartment building. It currently has about 150 shops which offer visitors a mix of shopping and dining opportunities, as well as services such as badminton racket fixing and printing office materials.
Queensway Shopping Centre is strategically located at the intersection of Jalan Bukit Merah and Alexandra Road. Consequently, there are several popular shopping centres and food centres within walking distance of it. Park Hotel Alexandra is across the intersection from Queensway and serves as a reliable place to stay in this area of Singapore.

The two main types of tickets for the MRT system in Singapore are:
1) Singapore Tourist Passes

These are incredibly convenient for trips like this that require both train and bus services. Once you buy a card, you can use unlimited public transportation services for a set number of days (typically 1-3 days).
