Shopping is an important element while travelling, be it for souvenirs, local items, gifts to take back home for our loved ones or even indulge in some retail therapy for yourself. In Brisbane the shopping scene is very thorough, and here are some of the top shopping malls to check out!
The Robina Town Centre is an iconic point of Australia's Gold Coast which will momentarily make you forget the immaculate beaches surrounding this town. Besides, this is one of the top shopping places in the Gold Coast. The shopping centre houses around three hundred and fifty retail stores accommodated in multiple floors. Besides, the Robina Town Centre covers around 34 hectares of land mass. It would come off as a shock if you can't find what you are looking for here, at the Robina Town Centre. If you are looking for Brisbane hotels in the CBD for accommodation surrounding major shopping malls, check hotels in the likes of iStay River City for a good experience.
Located in Logan Road at the Upper Mount Gravatt is none other than the well renowned Westfield Garden City which was open a few decades ago in 1970. This was one of the first monumental shopping malls that was opened in Queensland. With history and titles like that, you need to pay this place a visit. Don't expect a building from the 1970s though. The complex has had many reconstructions throughout the years and was given an upgrade just four years ago in 2014. You will also marvel at the authentic eastern influences of the shopping mall.
The Carindale shopping mall offers all types of shopping experience with a touch of luxury. You can find in this mall a Health Club, the Glasshouse eatery, library, fish ponds and many floors all tastefully carpeted. All kinds of retail shops focusing on the latest fashion can be found here. The Carindale welcomes kids too, with its very own We Play kids centre and cinemas to entertain them while you shop. A place for all members of the family.
As the Sunshine Plaza is located on Cornmeal Creek, you can bask in the glorious view it offers. The shopping centre has been masterfully designed close to the river with shops dotted along the river. A creative take on the architecture of the shopping centre has been undertaken, where it makes the shoppers enjoy their shopping alongside the river with a healthy dose of sunlight. There are around two hundred and twenty retails shops, cinemas, and restaurants to explore. You can also take a paddle boat to explore the river, if time permits.
The Harbour town, located in the Gold Coast, is one of the first establishments of its kind in Australia. The place is so popular that it resulted in it having its own chain of shopping centre outlets. Plus, if you're looking for brands in the likes of Nike, Ralph Lauren and David Jones, then pay Harbour Town a visit.
