A historic landmark and spreading over two blocks of the C*D, this bustling market precinct is the largest open-air market in the southern hemisphere.

‘Queen Vic’ or ‘Vic Market’, as it is affectionately known by locals, showcases Melbourne’s diverse and vibrant small business community. Visitors can shop for everything from quality, locally grown fruit and vegetables, fresh fish and meat, specialty cheese, smallgoods, coffee and gourmet produce, to handmade and unique wares including jewellery and accessories, homewares, art, plants, books, clothing and souvenirs. It is not only the abundance of fresh food and specialty retail that make shopping at the Market one of life’s great pleasures; it’s also the family of traders, the vibrant and multicultural atmosphere, the dedicated events and festivals, and the sense of community and belonging. No visit to Melbourne is complete without a trip to Queen Victoria Market. Customer Support: Want to contact our Customer Service team directly?
