Shopping and Walking around
the City of Armidale
Armidale is noted for
the quality and variety of its retail outlets and for its
convenience of parking. The Central Business District, located
around the compact twin malls, has a range of boutiques with fine
quality clothing in different styles, jewellery, silver, leather
goods, antiques, arts and crafts and other collectables. The
large shopping chains and a host of smaller stores provide
exotic and essential items and during a busy shopping spree the
outdoor coffee shops offer a continental atmosphere in which to
relax. Fine
restaurants provide both style and class, catering for those
who prefer more sophistication.
The city offers a
rich heritage for those who are willing to walk. The cathedrals,
churches and other buildings are set among handsome parks and
gardens. Victorian architecture is a feature of many of the
prominent structures, 35 of which are classified by the National
Trust, giving this rural city an unique blend of beauty of
various kinds.
