City Centre shopping
Must do
Big-city shopping
Find the best of Sydney’s shopping style within a few city blocks, at the Queen Victoria Building, the Strand Arcade, Westfield Sydney, David Jones and Myer. Glamour British designer, Burberry, has a flagship store on George Street not far from the fabulous Louis Vuitton store on the same street.
Sydney’s best city shopping
With its blend of historic and ultra-modern shopping arcades and shopping malls packed with designer fashion for men, women and kids, Sydney’s city centre caters to every possible shopping whim.
The Strand Arcade and the Queen Victoria Building (also known as the QVB) are the grand old dames of Sydney shopping. At the Strand, taste the exquisite chocolates at Haigh’s, stock up on stationery at Kikki K, then hit the first floor for designer style. The QVB has some of Australia’s favourite stores, including Country Road and Camper as well as art, collectibles and antique shops.
Pitt Street Mall is home to one of the busiest shopping strips in the world. Check out Sydney Central Plaza and the slick Westfield Sydney which has designer brands, high-street trends and European labels. Explore the flagship department stores, Myer and David Jones, and the elegant Chifley Plaza. Other inner-city shopping hotspots include The Galeries Victoria, Chifley Plaza and World Shopping Centre.
Love global brands? DFS Galleria has tax-free shopping for big-name brands Burberry, Bulgari, Cartier, Dior and Tiffany & Co. Jimmy Choo and Chanel are located at the intersection of King and Castlereagh streets, Giorgio Armani is at Martin Place, the MLC Centre has Gucci and the QVB Bally and Ralph Lauren.
Slick city shopping at Westfield Sydney
Four floors of fashion, two floors of dining, hand-picked local design talent at 100 Squared… Westfield Sydney is a fashionista’s dream come true. When it comes to Australian designers, you’ll find Arthur Galan AG, Fleur Wood, Zimmerman, Ksubi and Little Joe Woman – amongst many other shining stars. Savvy fashion shoppers should also check out affordable catwalk style at Zara.
Queen Victoria Building
Originally built in 1898, the QVB has been described as ‘the most beautiful shopping centre in the world’. Admire the stained glass and Romanesque architecture as you browse some of Australia’s favourite stores, including Saba and Marcs.
The Strand Arcade
A quiet oasis in Sydney’s busiest shopping strip, The Strand Arcade is the destination for Australian fashion talent. You’ll find Dinosaur Designs, Alannah Hill, sass & bide, The Corner Store and Leona Edmiston here.
The Star
Discover international designers and one-of-a-kind gifts at The Star, at Darling Harbour. This glamorous luxury shopping destination has Chanel Fragrance & Beauty Boutique, Moda Emporio, GStar Raw, IM Lingerie and Calvin Klein Jeans for starters.
Shopping in the heart of Sydney city
The city centre of Sydney provides a great mix of both antique and ultra-modern shopping arcades, catering to your every possible whim and desire. With an enormous diversity of established, and up-and-coming brands, Sydney city centre is a shopper's paradise for any taste or wallet size.
The Strand and the Queen Victoria Building are the grand old dames of Sydney shopping. Housing stylish fashion houses such as Coach and old-school favourites, including a chocolate shop and a milliner, it's a must-visit.
For a more modern shopping experience, the recently renovated Galleries Victoria and the even more recently constructed Sydney Westfield, highlight the latest trends in fashion, including international and local fashion houses. The highlights are designer brands, high-street trends and European labels.
Myers and David Jones are Australia's largest department stores and the city locations are their flagship stores. You'll find all that Sydney shopping has to offer under one roof.
