 Opened in 2006, VivoCity is Singapore's largest shopping mall. It is situated next to Harbourfront and opposite Sentosa Island.
The name, "VivoCity" is derived from the word, "vivacity", evoking a lifestyle experience that is modern, stimulating and accessible to everyone, a place bubbling with energy and flowing with vitality.
VivoCity is designed by internationally acclaimed Japanese architect Toyo Ito, the man behind the renowned Sendai Mediatheque in Japan, known for his signature-style, which focuses on the utilisation of nature, climate and open spaces. VivoCity is his first major project in Asia outside of Japan, and is set apart from the traditional box format of many existing retail developments in the region.
At the end of the first week after its official opening on 1 December 2006, the mall had recorded nearly a million visitors.
VivoCity was built on the site of the exhibition halls of the former World Trade Centre, now the HarbourFront Centre.
 No tour at VivoCity, but you can visit Sentosa. You can either go to level 3 to take the Sentosa Monorail OR use Sentosa Boardwalk, outside VivoCity, to walk across the causway.
