Leura Shopping Experience, Blue Mountains Australia

In the quaint town of Leura, shopping and bushwalking convene like a dream. Leura is known as ‘the jewel in the crown’ of the Blue Mountains, and rightly so. Located in adjacent to the historic town of Katoomba, Leura makes a name of its own with its postcard-worthy gardens, stunning views, and iconic streetscape lined with cool climate trees and shrubs.

Leura elevates the meaning of ‘retail therapy’ with its strip of local shops encrusted with cherry blossoms in full bloom.

The Mall established in the town’s main street exemplifies the shopping experience in Leura. From distinctive handicrafts to vintage garments, guests of Leura Mall are indulged with a curated selection of merchandise.

Take a stroll through the mall’s strip of old-fashioned shopfronts as you gaze upon the lovely cherry trees that adorn the verdant park set amidst the shopping village.

Go on a spree for one-of-a-kind gifts, souvenirs, accessories, and clothing, or simply enjoy the scenery as you bask in the cool climate while sipping your favourite afternoon tea.
