In this Night Market you could feel the sound of crackling fires and sizzling hot plates, serving up deliciously warming soul food inspired by exotic dishes and made by local hands, and savour traditional teas and winter drinks from all over the world.
The also known affectionately as “Queen Vic’, Queen Victoria Market is much more than the city’s fresh-food shopping mecca – it’s a historic landmark, a tourist attraction and a Melbourne institution. It also has been the heart and soul of Melbourne for more than a century. A vibrant and bustling inner-city Market where you can shop for everything from Australian fruit and vegetables, and local and imported gourmet foods, to cosmetics, clothing and souvenirs.
The market is open five days a week, Tuesday, and Thursday to Sunday, with Sunday taking on a carnival atmosphere as entertainers delight the crowds. Moreover, guided tours are available to highlight the market’s food, heritage and culture, shopping and history.
