Shopping

If you want designer shops then you find them all here at one of Brisbane’s biggest and well-known shopping precincts. There are over 700 stores on offer with Louis Vuitton, Tiffany and Co, Hermes, Australian designer sass & bide... the list is endless! Be aware though that the shops of Queen St Mall are broken up into areas and buildings: QueensPlaza, Wintergarden, Elizabeth Arcade, Brisbane Arcade, Queen Adelaide Building and MacArthur Central and the Myer Building.

Brisbane’s biggest shopping centre and popular with teenagers due to its Megaplex Movie Cinema. Shops include Jag, Supre, Colorado, JB HI-FI and Tarocash among others plus Kmart, Big W and Harris Scarfe retailers.

A cosmopolitan mix of stalls with jewellery, African crafts, handmade craft, organic produce, coffee and fresh seafood.

If fashion, art and jewellery are what you want then these markets are noted among locals and tourists alike. There are also card readers and clairvoyants and in Chinatown you can indulge in a massage after shopping.

One of the city’s first markets, you find over 150 stalls selling everything from leatherwork, glassware, clothing and local and imported handicrafts.

One of the best known and iconic makers of Australian gear, this store is great for clothes including oilskins, boots, moleskins and flannelette shirts. The best souvenir you can buy from here though is the iconic Australian hat – the Akubra.

Another great store for Australian souvenirs you’ll find everything from mugs, calendars, and Aussie slang kits to more stuff dedicated to the Aussie flag than you can poke a stick at!

If its Aboriginal art you’re after than is the place to go to. Here you’ll find authentic arts and crafts including didgeridoos, boomerangs, paintings and prints plus clothing.
