6 Reasons to 'Shop The City' this Christmas

Get set to immerse yourself in the spirit of the festive season with Shop the City on November 30. There are over 1,000 shops across 4 city blocks celebrating Melbourne’s most famous shopping festival and it’s just in time for us to load up on some Christmas gifts for our loved ones (and treat yo’self too).

There are hundreds of one-day-only shopping giveaways and offers… We’ve wrapped up (pardon the pun) our favourites in this post so you can rush to all the top spots before the crowds!
