Strand Arcade

This point of interest is available as audio on the tour: Visit Sydney, The Emerald City
This amazing shopping arcade, located in the heart of Sydney’s business district, is a true delight for all shopaholics! Designed in 1892 in a beautiful Victorian style, Strand Arcade has shops across three levels, offering a perfect shopping trip sheltered from the sun and bad weather! Several arcades were built during the 19th century for this is the exact reason, to both protect people and goods from heavy rain and intense heat. Today, Strand Arcade is the last in the entire city to maintain its original appearance, despite several necessary renovations following the world wars and several fires. It stands as the ultimate shopping location and is incredibly symbolic of Sydney’s most commercial district!
