Pitt Street Mall
Pitt Street Mall is Sydney's largest and trendiest shopping district

Pitt Street Mall is a very trendy, busy and famous Sydney shopping district that lines each side of a pedestrian only portion of Pitt Street in Sydney's Central Business District. Even though it occupies just one block between Market and King Street, you will find over 500 specialty stores and many large flagship stores here.
One of the trendiest and busiest shopping districts in Australia, Pitt Street Mall includes the modern new Westfield Sydney Shopping Centre which alone has nearly 240 stores. Between the Westfield centre and the street mall you will find flagship stores such as Zara, Esprit and Guess. There is also a huge 5 level Myer store, part of Australia's largest department store chain along with several large shopping arcades including the historic Strand Arcade built in 1891.
Even if shopping isn't your thing, Pitt Street Mall is just a fun place to hang out with lots of energy and plenty of street performers to entertain you throughout the day. Some of the buskers, musicians and dancers are very, very talented. Don't be surprised if a flashmob suddenly breaks into a routine either.
The mall recently underwent a major 10 million dollar upgrade and revitalization. It is one of the highest rent retail districts in the world - number two behind New York City's famous 5th Avenue according to at least one source.
Shopaholics beware you may spend your entire vacation here.
Nearby attractions: Sydney Tower, Art Gallery of New South Wales and Hyde Park.

Pitt Street Mall Reviews
Rated
Pitt Street Mall is a shopper’s paradise and one of the best spots in Sydney for retail therapy. With a wide variety of stores ranging from high-end luxury brands to more affordable options, there’s something for everyone. The central location in the CBD makes it easily accessible and perfect for a day out.
The mall has a vibrant atmosphere, and the open-air design is a nice touch, though it can get crowded during peak times. Some areas could use a bit more seating or rest spaces for shoppers to take a break.
Overall, Pitt Street Mall is a must-visit for anyone who loves shopping and soaking in the energy of the city. Highly recommended for both locals and tourists!

It's definitely one of the best by any standards. Just being there feels so good. Finest luxury brands call it home with their outlets. Great choice of dining and spend a good part of the day.

overall it’s a solid spot for shopping, especially if you’re after something highend. I was there between 2 and 3:30 in the afternoon, hunting down a specific item, and while I eventually found it, it did take a bit of digging and zig-zagging through the crowds which were flooding the mall.
Westfield makes it easy to get around once you’re inside, but navigating the outdoor strip can get a bit hectic, especially during peak hours. It was pretty busy while I was there, but not unbearable
Only reason it’s not 5 stars is the general chaos. If that’s not your jam try for earlier in morning 9am-11am

So many cool stores! Something for everyone. Make sure you check out the Lego store, it's the last in the world! The Arcade is a must see, such a beautiful old building, Dinosaur Designs has their store upstairs.
