点评:The Strand Arcade is a beautifully restored heritage shopping arcade.
It’s the sort of place where you find traditionally made hats, hand-crafted shoes and hand-made chocolate. There’s even a shoe-shine booth.
However its not all olde-worlde. You will also find modern high-end Australian designers, like Aje, Camilla and Marc, and Rebecca Vallance.
Built in 1891, it’s retained its Victorian-style architecture and fittings. Even if you have little interest in shopping, it’s still charming to walk through and take in the beautiful mosaic-tiled floors and wrought iron railings, the wooden bannisters and handrails, the lead-light windows and glass vaulted roof.
It’s a nice spot to stop for a coffee at one of the cafes.
The only jarring note is the basement level which is entirely taken over by JB Hifi. With its bright yellow signs and jumbled displays, it looks kind of grotty and very out of keeping with the rest of the arcade.
NOTE: The arcade links both George St and Pitt St so you can enter from either end.
翻译:斯特兰德商场 (Strand Arcade) 是一座经过精心修复的传统购物商场。
在这里你可以找到传统制作的帽子、手工制作的鞋子和手工制作的巧克力。甚至还有一个擦鞋亭。
然而,这并不全是旧世界。您还会发现现代高端澳大利亚设计师,如 Aje、Camilla 和 Marc 以及 Rebecca Vallance。
它建于 1891 年,保留了维多利亚风格的建筑和陈设。即使您对购物没什么兴趣,漫步其中,欣赏美丽的马赛克瓷砖地板和锻铁栏杆、木制栏杆和扶手、铅光窗户和玻璃拱形屋顶,仍然很迷人。
这是一个在咖啡馆停下来喝杯咖啡的好地方。
唯一不和谐的地方是地下室完全被 JB Hifi 占据。它有着明亮的黄色标志和混乱的展示,看起来有点简陋,与拱廊的其他部分格格不入。
注意:拱廊连接乔治街和皮特街,因此您可以从任一端进入。
