Braddon is just a few minutes' walk from the city centre.

Outlet shopping

Markets
The multi award-winning Old Bus Depot Markets is open every Sunday and renowned for a mix of handcrafted jewellery, art, clothing, furniture and regional food and wine produce, while the Capital Regional Farmers Market every Saturday morning offers an array of fruit, vegetables, plants, flowers, seafood, meat and cheeses.
