Queen Victoria Market

Don’t leave home without souvenirs for the family. You’ll find the best of them at the Queen Victoria Market, one of the largest open air markets in the Southern Hemisphere.
Almost 1,000 traders sell anything across the 7-hectare site: from exotic fruit and vegetables to clothing, jewellery, and Australian artefacts.

While you're cruising the busy aisles, take in the history of Melbourne's great market, which began in 1878, with many second and third generation traders still selling their wares to locals and tourists.
If you're a foodie, head to the Produce sections of the market where you can buy gourmet delicacies like goat's cheese, whole fresh fish, organic coffee and fine preserves.

Food tours depart Tuesdays, Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for those keen to meet the specialist traders and sample their delectable provisions.

Parking is available at The Queen Victoria Market, or you can catch a tram right to the doorstep, on the corner of Victoria Street and Elizabeth Street.
