The Queen Victoria Market On any weekend, this market is open for Tourist and Local alike. Brimming with an amazing amount of odd, cheap, useful, useless and edible items. This Market lies over a few acres of undercover stalls and resides just Northwest of the Central Business District, no more than a Kilometre from the Centre of Melbourne. On either side of a road, that is closed to traffic when the Market is operating, teems with bargains, food and fruit . The tourist has choices of unbelievable complexity: No Vt thongs, but have seen some with a map of Australia (hanging on the racks). Tens of stalls carry a shipload of toys of every variety. Leather jumps up at you and clothes span the bedroom frolic-ware to the late nightgown. Bags from every copied Designer ever existing and shoes from countries yet to be invented. Didgeridoos, boomerangs, spear, message and magic sticks. Paintings, prints, caricatures, photographs, cards, books…this is too much. The best thing about it is that you can load yourself up with $50 worth of stuff and you have enough souvenirs to cover your imediate and distant family on both sides. Ooops..Have to go. Just saw a miniature, plastic, Pan flute-playing Monkey that will look great on my Coffee table! And it is only 2 Bucks…. Wowwww The heads nods!!!!! Enjoy.

Constructed in 1863 the Queen Victoria Market is the place to be to experience Melbourne life today. This is really a wonderful place to visit where ever you are shopping or just want to stroll about. Saturdays are the most hectic and are best avoided unless you really need to shop, however this is a most vibrant time for the big city market experience, while Sunday is a bit tacky. You will find every imaginable food item here, fresh, pickled, dead or alive, baked and organic / bio-dynamic. The old Deli Hall is a mouth watering sensation for cheese lovers like my self. Here you will get a good range of wood fired oven breads, olives, anti pasto etc. Anyone who hates shopping will love it here as it's an authetic working market for a hungry city. Trading hours for the Queen Victoria Market are Tueday and Thursday 6AM - 2PM, Friday and Saturday 6AM - 3PM and Sunday 9AM - 4PM. During summer months in recent years there has been an exciting night maket. You can eat your way around-the-world in one place!

 | |  |  | Queen Victoria Market: A bit of everything at the Queen Victoria Market | Tip Rating:      |  |  | |  |
The Queen Victoria Market is vast, and there is a bit of everything here. Hundreds upon hundreds of stalls selling fresh produce, meats, cheeses, clothes, flowers, toys, souvenirs, homewares - it's a market-lovers paradise (I guess, I'm not a market lover, but this market impressed even me!). There is entertainment too - buskers, music and of course the stall holders hollering out their wares. Outside there were even kids camel rides - somehow I hadn't quite expected to find a couple of camels in the middle of Melbourne! (I was even more suprised to be offered ten bucks by the mother of two toddlers who thought I was an official photographer). The market has its own comprehensive website, and it seems to have quite a bit going on - check there for up to date opening times and details of current special events. Go on - you know you want a didgeridoo ;-) Leave a Comment Address: 513 Elizabeth Street, MelbourneWebsite: www.qvm.com.au

Queen Victoria Market This is Melbourne's biggest market, and it is just wonderful! You can find everything from Australiana merchandise, clothes, pets, fresh fruit and vegetables, fresh meat and seafood, fresh deli ingredients, all sorts of odds and ends. Put aside about 3-4 hours in order to wander through. Some people in the City do most of their fresh grocery shopping here, it is certainly a lot cheaper and fresher than the supermarkets. A lot of the stuff in the general market is junk, but it's up to you to wade through it and find those great bargains. The vendors also love to bargain - I've never bought anything from there for the price they first ask for. :) If you're looking for souveneirs, this is the place to go. There are also some great cafes, and there is even an office (on Victoria St., near the official entrance to the market), that has guided tours and cooking tours of the market.

The Queen Victoria Market is more than just Melbourne’s shopping Mecca. This 19th century market is a historic landmark. The ‘Queen Vic’ was opened in 1878, but the meat market building (except the Victorian facade) operated from 1866. Fresh is the flavour of the market. More than fresh seafood and fresh fruits and vegetables, the market takes a fresh approach. Find clothing, baggage, toys, jewellery, new-age products and souvenirs at sinful prices. Every Wednesday night from November to January, the market adopts a 'Bazzar' theme - there is entertainment, bars, food outlets ranging from paella to veggie burgers, unique arts and crafts, eccentric clothing, masseurs, tarot card and crystal ball readers, camel rides, and more.
