Melbourne General Post Office

Melbourne General Post Office

Melbourne General Post Office (full name: General Post Office, Melbourne) was first built in 1859 and is located at the corner of Elizabeth Street and Bourke Street in the central business district of Melbourne, Victoria, Australia. It is the city’s most iconic architectural landmark and is listed as a heritage site by the state of Victoria.

The original site of the Melbourne General Post Office was a post office where Australia Post was once headquartered, but a fire in 2001 destroyed the building almost entirely. In 2004, after renovation, the new General Post Office building reopened as a large shopping center. The mall features an arcade design that stretches continuously from Bourke Street to Little Bourke Street, making it one of the longest arcades in the world. It houses a variety of retail shops, including fashion boutiques, internationally renowned high-end fashion brands, luggage stores, and household goods shops. No matter what customers are looking for or how discerning they may be, they are sure to find something to their liking here.

Although it has only been a shopping center for a short time, Melbourne General Post Office has won over customers with its pleasant shopping environment, exquisite merchandise, and attentive service, becoming a world-renowned shopping destination. It has been recognized by Forbes as one of the best shopping centers in the world.
