Step into a piece of Auckland’s history at The Strand Arcade, a heritage-listed shopping destination nestled between Queen Street and Elliott Street in the heart of the CBD. Originally built in 1910, this elegant Victorian-style arcade has retained its architectural charm while evolving into a vibrant hub for boutique retail and culinary innovation.

Inside, you’ll find a curated mix of fashion, jewelry, homewares, and artisanal brands—each offering a unique shopping experience that blends craftsmanship with contemporary flair. Downstairs, the East Asian food court adds a dynamic layer of flavor, making The Strand a go-to spot for both browsing and bites.

As one of the city’s oldest arcades, The Strand continues to serve its original purpose: connecting people, commerce, and culture. 

$2.50 per hour to a max of $12.50 on weekends and a $12.50 flat rate for weekday evenings at The Civic car park. Find out more
