| Visit the Queen Victoria Market on Our Melbourne City Tour |
Melbourne is a cultural delight for even the most experienced traveller. Boasting a slew of galleries, artisan restaurants, and narrow laneways filled with the latest foodie trends and boutique stores, it is the perfect place to escape to and experience the rich heritage of the city.
At Queen Victoria Market, fresh food is just one of the delights on offer. Though it’s characterised by stalls piled high with fresh fish, meat, cheese, and vegetables, there are plenty of other curiosities to browse. The historic landmark forms an important tourist attraction in the city, where visitors can experience daily life from an insider’s perspective.
The market itself sprawls out over a number of blocks in the centre of Melbourne, creating the largest open-air market in the entire Southern Hemisphere. Aside from the local produce, shoppers can wander amongst stalls dripping with the latest fashion trends, kitsch homeware, and handmade goods.
The Meat, Fish, and Dairy Halls are bursting at the seams with vintage cheeses, cured meats, and takeaway surprises that offer a taste of local life. Elsewhere, the historic sheds are where the bargains are at. Rifle through clothes, jewelry, and souvenirs to find your own piece of treasure.
Open five days a week, the market brings a vibrant slice of Melbourne life to visitors in a confined space. And, if you’re around on a Sunday, be sure to check out the carnival atmosphere that takes over, with live music and street performers brought in to entertain the crowds.
Queen Victoria Market is a focus point of Melbourne’s foodie culture. Watch butchers carefully carve meat, tuck into piping hot street food from shacks tucked to the side of the walkways, and kick back and relax at one of the many cafes with a hot drink and watch the world go by.
