Shopping in Melbourne
Posted by Brody on July 20, 2009When traveling and staying in the top Melbourne hotels, it is good to get out into the various neighborhoods and check out the various markets and districts known for their shops and stores. The rest of Australia comes to Melbourne to shop, and for many years the city has carried the reputation as being the capital of the country as far as shopping in concerned. There is no need to wonder what you can find, what is fun to wonder about is what can’t be found. There are the large chain department shops such as Myer and David Jones, there are fancy shopping malls, and there are sections of the streets that are lined with unique and varied establishments. Each with its own character and personality. And all of this is either withing walking distance, or a few train stops.
And as far as personal tastes are concerned regarding fashion, it is all found in Melbourne. To the latest chic and trendy designer boutiques to the thrift stores for those shopping on a budget. And not just clothing is available, but anything from one of the many speciality stores are located throughout as well, such as books to magic spells, to perfume, coins and model cars. One of the best places to find such a variety as well as many different food stalls and hawkers is the Queen Victoria Market, know for the freshest seafood joints in town. The Arts Center Open-air Market is a great place to go as well, which happens each Sunday in the Southbank District. The market has more than one hundred and fifty stalls that showcase the finest work of Australia’s artisans. The work is selected by a panel, in order to ensure that all of the work offered at the market is of the highest quality and of the best design. All artists love Melbourne from actors to musician, painters to sculptors. Both of these market places should be on the itinerary of anyone taking a shopping excursion through the city of Melbourne, Australia.
