by bijo69 The Queen Victoria Building is certainly the most beautiful mall in Sydney. It was completed in 1898 and covers a whole block in CBD. Even if you don't plan to shop here, it's worth to have a look around!

by dracko QVB, or Queen Victoria Building is perhaps Sidney's most well known shopping center. Located in the very center of town, right next to Town Hall, on the corner of George & Druitt Sts, it is a huge old victorian building, that is a memorable landmark in and of itself, regardless of the endless floors of shopping space inside and below it. Combined with the Queen Victoria Gallery, a shopping annex across George St. and accessible via an underground passageway that contains numerous shops of its own as well as access to the subway station, the giant complex will probably satisfy even the most avid shopper among you.

 The marvellous hanging clock inside the QVB. by Jerelis There is a marvellous hanging clock that displays a series of mechanically moving tableaux of British Kings and Queens every hour on the hour. This "exibition" is heralded by loud trumpeters and ends with the beheading of Charles I. Permanent and temporary exhibitions have a home at different points on each level and include replicas of the British Crown Jewels and a highly ornamental, full-scale oriental coach. The building accomodates a series of royal paintings.

 Statue of Queen Victoria just outside the building by Jerelis The building is a major attraction for both visitors and residents and is open every day! Shops with Old-Worlde shopfronts are located on three levels and here you will find some of the most interesting shopping in Sydney, shops such as New Guinea Arts, which has a remarkable array of native artefacts from New Guinea. The people in Sydney like to call it "the most beautiful shopping centre in the world". Maybe we have to agree...

 Queen Victoria by BorneoGrrl For exclusive shooping, come to the Queen Victoria Building where you find an array of shop selling beautiful (and expensive) things, ranging from food to fashion. Come not only for the shopping & dining but also the building itself is a beautiful piece of architecture. Special attractions include the Royal Clock, a unique, 6-metre long timepiece built in the shape of Balmoral Castle by the Queen's clockmaker and the keeper of 'Big Ben' in London. Replicas of the crown jewels created by the crown jeweller's craftsmen, can also be seen on the top gallery.
Some stores sell very nice italian suits in the Gianni Versace store for prices less than in South East Asia. On sale, a suit would start from AUD500 (not a GV suit but still Italian). I found a number of designer stores here e.g Feragammo, Guess & local designers. There are also some nice outlets selling Australian arts & crafts where you can get a special something for your loved ones
A lot

 QVB by martin_nl Peter Lik is among the best photographers in Australia and maybe even of the whole world. His specialty is panoramic photography and is truly amazing. Have a look in his gallery at the top floor of the QVB and admire his work.
If you want to purchase some of his work but think it's a tad too expensive you might want to consider buying some souvenir books, that are hardcover and pretty cheap too. But filled with loads of memories of your trip.
A small photo 50 cm wide is about 500 AUD. His books are about 12 AUD. Leave a Comment

 An old picture of the Queen Victoria Building. by Jerelis When it comes to shopping, Sydney has it all, like you can expect in such a metropolis. In the Central Business District (CBD) you'll find department stores like David Jones and arcades like Strand Arcade. The Queen Victoria Building is an outstanding example of Byzantine architecture, which occupies an entire city block, was built in 1898 to replace the original Sydney Markets. Later it accommodated a concert hall and the City Library. In 1984 it was completely refurbished as a shopping centre, with more than 200 shops, a few bars and eateries. With its series of domes and domelets with exquisite stained glass windows and extensive wood panelling throughout it is a curiosity and therefore worth a visit.
