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.
Opening Hours
Tue/Thu/Fri 06:00-15:00, Sat 06:00-16:00, Sun 09:00-16:00 (closed Mon and Wed; Winter Night Market on Wednesdays runs separately).
Travel Tips
Tuesday, Thursday, Friday, and Saturday mornings are the liveliest times to visit. The Winter Night Market on Wednesdays (June-August) is well worth a trip. Parking is difficult nearby, so take the tram.
