Queen Victoria Market

Queen Victoria Market, or simply Vic Market stands in the center of Melbourne for over a century. The historic market is now a covered market that sells both food products and non-food products. The market is visited by locals that come to the market to buy affordable fruits and vegetables, or clothing items, and tourists that want to experience the market and buy mainly souvenirs. Queen Victoria Market has implemented a number of initiatives to enable shoppers to shop with sustainability and the environment in mind. In May 2019, the Market introduced a market-wide ban on single-use plastic bags and straws.

Queen Victoria Market is an authentic, inner-city market that has been the heart and soul of Melbourne for 140 years. Home to over 600 small businesses, it is a great place to discover fresh and specialty produce, hand-made and unique products, great coffee and food, souvenirs, and clothing. Queen Victoria Market spans two blocks, evolving from a simple market selling fresh produce to a city landmark where you can buy almost anything. Many of the stalls in the market are family owned and operated, each with its own story of the market's history. Common goods are sold in the market, including leather goods, clothing, jewelry, DVDs, mobile phones, souvenirs, plants, shoes, etc. In the market, there is a row of shops. Historic Victorian street stalls have been restored and sell quirky boutique items. Queen Victoria Market deserves to be one of the indispensable names in the list of best indoor markets in the world.
