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 out of 5
Well shaded, good human scale space. Seating provided. Many homeless people. If you sit you are not permitted to smoke or vape. Good and vibrant atmosphere overall despite poor and vulnerable people left behind and smokers discriminated against.

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!

I went with my 3 year old daughter I have to admit the city hasn’t got much for kids to play when we go to the Pitt street mall however when we went to Lego she had the time of her life playing with Lego other kids and two levels of fun we even bought an Elsa Lego puzzle And I being the adult had a great time cause my daughter enjoyed herself and she wasn’t bored

Lots of shops that make Xmas shopping easily in one place. Get there by biscuits, train or like I did today ferry and a short walk. Plenty of people so a great buzzing atmosphere.
