One thing Melbournians know is style and have the pastime of shopping down to a fine art. Shopping in Melbourne is an eclectic affair ­ large department stores and sprawling markets to snazzy basement boutiques and edgy hole-in-the-walls.

Whether searching for designer labels or vintage clothing, children¹s toys or high-tech gadgetry, skincare products or sparkling chardonnay, Melbourne has it all. Wander around the main thoroughfares and backstreets of the CBD to sample the city¹s many department stores, arcades and boutiques. Head across the Yarra River to the Crown Entertainment complex for top designer stores or out to Chapel Street, South Yarra for the best in fashion, eclectic wares and shopping bargains.
