It’s the ‘most wonderful time of the year’ …and shopping in the CBD is sure to bring festive magic!
First stop: The QVB, home to one of the city’s most breathtaking Christmas sights. Standing an unbelievable 20 metres tall, the QVB’s iconic Christmas tree reaches all the way up to the stained-glass dome. It’s the largest indoor tree in Australia, beautifully decorated with designs by First Nations artists – and it’s an absolute must-see.
Then stroll over to the historic Strand Arcade. Built in the late 1800s and filled with more than 60 boutique stores, it’s the perfect spot to find something special. This year, The Strand is celebrating an Australian-themed Christmas, with stunning native floral displays and shimmering golden gumnuts filling the Victorian-era space.
And if you love bold creativity, head to The Galeries. Artist Micke Lindebergh has transformed the centre with a colourful, oversized Christmas installation – his modern take on a festive tree bursting with joy. Pair that with fashion, art, and lifestyle stores for people with serious taste, and you’ve got a gifting destination like no other.
From the QVB, to Strand Arcade, to The Galeries – Sydney’s CBD is the place to experience Christmas magic this year.
Book your Santa Experience via QVB’s website.
