Pitt Street Mall

Pitt Street Mall sits in the heart of the Sydney CBD, the city's famous pedestrian shopping strip. The premier retail heart of Sydney, it's one of the busiest shopping precincts in the country — lined with major department stores, flagship fashion stores, shopping centres (including Westfield Sydney and the historic Strand Arcade) and a constant buzz of activity.

The appeal is that combination of world-class shopping and a buzzing city-centre atmosphere: from major department stores and international brands to the heritage arcades and shopping centres, it's the place to shop in the heart of the city, with everything within easy walking distance. It's a must for shoppers and a lively spot to soak up the energy of central Sydney.

With a 4.4 rating from more than 2,000 reviews, it's clearly a much-loved part of the city. The stores, shopping centres, any events and trading hours vary, so it's worth checking current details if you're after a specific shop — though for a shopping trip or to soak up the city-centre buzz, you can simply head to Pitt Street Mall in the heart of Sydney.
