But make sure it is before 5 o’clock (17:00). Even on Fridays some shops close at that time tho most are open later on Friday. Fun just to stroll and people watch 👍 Of course you WILL see something you absolutely must buy 🤔

We were spoilt for choice with all that Rundle Mall had to offer on our visit! An underground opal mine, beautiful views of the mall from myer centre, a step back in time in the 1880s Adelaide Arcade, and a delicious selection of chocolates in Haighs. The mall is short and sweet, but walk slowly because you will easily walk past some of the smaller arcades, which is where we found some of our favourite shops! Keep an eye out for Balfours Bakery, Charlesworth Nuts, R.M Williams, Blackbys Sweet Shop and Haighs Chocolates if you are wanting to see some unique South Australian shops!

Comparable to Bourke Street Mall in Melbourne but longer. Plenty of diversions to curiously investigate and see what’s there. Sadly like Melbourne many shops in the side arcades for lease and empty. Wife happy as found a jacket style prior hunted in major retail shop. Pretty day and many shoppers on the move.

There are plenty of great eateries and shopping experiences to be had in Rundle Mall. Haigh's Chocolates is a must-do (and a must-sample!), as well as Victorian-style Adelaide Arcade and Gays Arcade. If you're needing a loo stop while meandering Rundle Mall, head into the Myer Centre building where you'll find them on most floors. A quick detour down James Place (which runs off Rundle Mall) is the speccy Blackeby's Old Sweet Shop. There are numerous side streets and lanes running off the mall that are worth exploring, too. Allow yourself a few hours to explore the mall and surrounds.
