Queen Victoria Market... Melbourne's Market, more than just shopping.
Queen Victoria Market is Victoria's premier open-air market. It's a thriving and vital place pulsating with life.
The friendly competition between stallholders, and their concern for customers, is what gives the Market its Old World charm and the addictive power to draw millions of visitors each year.
Visitors, who come not only to shop, can be entertained by buskers who perform on the surround. The vibrant, cosmopolitan atmosphere of this historic site has endeared the Market to Melburnians for more than 125 years.
The Market is probably best known for its huge variety of fresh produce. Almost 50% of the Market area is dedicated to the sale of fresh produce, including fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, chicken, seafood and delicatessen products.
The remainder of the Market is used for variety and specialty goods, with Sundays being the most popular day for this category.
On Sundays, the hustle and bustle of the weekday Market gives way to a more relaxed and activity filled day. Queen Street is converted into an outdoor cafe area, roving performers and an open air marquee showcasing new local talent.
