Queen Victoria Market

Queen Victoria Market Open Tue | Thu | Fri | Sat | Sun 🍎 🍏 Queen Victoria Market is Melbourne’s iconic marketplace and has been the heart and soul of the city for over 144 years.
(19458)

A historic landmark and spreading over two blocks of the CBD, 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, specia

lty 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?

Welcoming the Winter Series!

Winter in Melbourne is when Queen Vic Market feels most alive. It’s local, loyal, and full of warmth.

You step in from the cold, breath hanging in the air. Inside, the scent of warming toasties and fresh coffee wraps around you. Warm doughnuts dust your gloves in sugar, and you find yourself picking up socks as thick as blankets, and a new scarf to wrap you up tight ❄️🧣

As night falls, the market comes to life. Lanterns glow overhead, music drifts through the aisles, and friends gather beneath the lights. The chill fades into the background as you linger a little longer, caught up in the hum of it all.

Don’t hibernate this winter, celebrate it the Melbourne way.

The Winter Series, feeling fresh 🌬️
