Overview
Queen Victoria Market has operated since 1878 and is Melbourne's iconic market — the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere. Spread across 7 hectares, it sells fresh produce, meat, cheese, seafood, clothing, and souvenirs. Its multicultural food offerings are a major draw, and gourmet tours and cooking classes are also available. The Winter Night Market on Wednesday evenings turns it into a festive night market full of food, music, and wine.
