Canberra is capital of Australia but despite having a number of tourist attractions it looks barren during Christmas Holidays (Dec 22nd to January 10th). We were here during first week of holidays and visited one of the most popular malls of this city on 28th December.
We were not surprised to see that there were only 2-3 visitors and most of the shops were not even open.
I think most of you will find it surprising but that’s how is the Capital city of Australia with 500K citizens but 400K of them head for beaches and mountains during the holidays.
How about your places, do you also go for other cities of tourists’ attraction or stay in your own city?

The malls here are out of town and always full of people. Except for the Sunday days from January to April when they have a day off then.
I actually avoid travel during this season. I love to be at home with my family during this season.
In Riga Latvia, a great deal of the malls on the outskirts of the city are usually empty
I think the low population of the city could be one of the reasons there. This mall in the picture is in the center of Canberra but during Christmas most people move out to beaches and mountains. .
I avoid the malls and all the crowds.
in the age of Alibaba and Amazon, who needs malls!
