The Strand Arcade

Another grand old school-type indoor mall very near the QVB mall. Sydney has retained their turn of the century malls, how wonderful. This is a very must visit especially for the architecture- awesome.

Bad experiences multiple time with the staffs, only there is the bag I need otherwise go for somewhere else! No service mind, no good manner because you look Asia, such a shame. The staffs said no manager there who I can give a comment or explain what the particular staff’s done to me to make me feel unwelcome.

The Strand 1891 had such amazing history and architecture inside and out,cafes,boutiques,shops of all kinds,even had some amazing christmas decorations up

Vintage style shopping arcade in Sydney cbd. There are some boutique shops as well as the regular brands. Christmas decorations were great.

The heritage charm and stunning Victorian architecture create a unique and sophisticated atmosphere that you don’t find in modern shopping centers. I loved wandering through its beautifully preserved interiors, with intricate ironwork and stained glass that transport you back in time. The boutique stores and artisan cafes add a modern touch, making it the perfect mix of history and contemporary style.

The Strand Arcade in Sydney’s George Street is a must visit to provide a feel of ‘yesteryear’ in modern Sydney. A rich mix of boutiques and cafes offers interest to a wide audience.

Best of shopping that Sydney has to offer. Gorgeous boutique shopping mall with exquisite brands, jewellry, handbags, delicacies such as chocolates and nuts. Also a fine dining coffee shop. JB HIFI is downstairs.
