    Definitely glad I booked my Melbourne hotel next to this market knowing I'd spend a good chunk of time there! The market is huge with so much to see - I spent almost an entire day here! Really great lively atmosphere with lots of people and the large downtown buildings in the backdrop of the market were beautiful! There was a great fruit and vegetable selection - I choose a few different fruit options to take back to my hotel later to enjoy. I LOVE mangosteen but it's hard to get fresh ones in the US so was super stoked to see those available! The indoor section with cheeses, meat and seafood was also super impressive! I snacked on some lobster and oysters then went outside and had some sugarcane juice and the BEST MUSSELS I HAVE EVER HAD IN MY LIFE. Such a great day at this market!!

    Cool area with plenty of stands to shop at! Vendors weren't super pushy either, so it's easy to walk through and not feel persuaded to buy anything. Several food options too.

    Queen Victoria Market is really a series of buildings with a wide range of offerings. You will find food trucks ranging from tacos to mussels. There also is meat including kangaroo,produce and juices. Service is easy and credit cards are accepted. Fun ambience as you can stroll around until you find what you want to try.

    This is a pretty big market, though it does happen to be the major one in Melbourne. Actually, there are two distinct areas, one where there are a lot of stalls that sell random stuff, and another that is focused entirely upon produce. What I do like about this place are the night markets that they hold, one for winter and one for summer. This can certainly be one of those places that does get pretty packed at times, especially during the night markets. Yeah, it's pretty cool actually, and there are lots of things to look at, and lots of treasures to find.

    Amazing market that is spread out over two city blocks in Melbourne. So fun to explore. So big that we didn't even make it to the far side after 2 hours. So interesting to explore the Queen Victoria Market that once was.....land for the Wurundjeri People of the Kulin Nation, the Old Melbourne Cemetery, a hay market, a corn market, a produce market, and eventually the Queen Victoria Market. So nice to peruse the lanes filled with so many treats. Great place for souvenir shopping with many items 4 or 5 for $10 AUD (about $6.50 USD). Grab a cute koala or kangaroo. Stock up on magnets. Get a fun and furry pencil bag. Grab a fresh fruit juice. The ABC, apple, beet and carrot, was so delicious and so refreshing. The lemonade was good as well. It will come with a striped paper straw because no single use plastic straws are used in the QVM. Buy socks, socks and more socks. Koala socks. Kangaroo socks. Flag socks. So many socks! So cute. Lots of fruits, vegetables, meats, cheeses and sweet treats. Loved the Fun Blocks that made a Pinocchio. A great place to explore and get a souvenir or two for family and friends.

    This was one of our favorite highlights of Melbourne! Both day and night! We did day shopping and came back on Wednesday night for the night market! Quality/Quantity - This will be hard to explain, so you just have to come here both day and night for the experience. Here it goes: Mussels! They had the best steamed mussels I have had on this two month long trip! If you know any better, please message me! Fresh produce, plenty of choices and competition. Think HUGE farmers market. Plus they compost! See pictures. Historic information posted throughout the place, making good and easy reading while my wife shops. Many souvenir options, and inexpensive. Many UGG products, but they were TOO inexpensive and I did not want to risk buying fake products. Plus if you are following, we ran out of luggage space a long time ago... We sampled too many different foods, see pictures. I am sure I did not do a good enough job taking pictures of all the foods and drinks we had. Night Market - Was a very different atmosphere. A young and hip crowd, I fit in perfectly, lol. I actually liked the night market experience even better than the day trip. So much energy. Silent disco, several live bands, entertainment, plenty of alcohol, brewery, etc. Again, we got food from so many different vendors, see pictures. Also again, I am sure I am missing pictures as I was having such a GREAT time. Atmosphere - What a cool, fun and huge place. See my excessive pictures. Caters to both locals and tourists. Some art work throughout, see pictures. Kid friendly, I felt like there were field trips. Food hall, well a temporary food hall while the main food hall is being remodeled/redeveloped. Indoor/outdoor seating available. Open 6 days a week from 6am or 9am until 3pm or 4pm. Closed Mondays. Wednesdays are the night market, from 5pm to 10pm. Free and paid parking, see website. Plenty of restrooms. Service - Good. All independent owners that want your business. Tours available, see website. Educational kid tours are also available. All forms of transportation take you here. They even have airport and cruise shuttles. Price - Depends on what you buy, eat, or drink. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1878 and now part of the national heritage list. Good to see the city investing $268M in your revitalizing & restoring program. Future - New and more open spaces, more places to sit and relax, friendly foot paths, more restaurants, cafes, bars, events, etc.

    Queen Victoria Market is an authentic, bustling, inner-city market that has been the heart and soul of Melbourne for over 140 years. It is home to over 600 small businesses and it's a great place to discover fresh and specialty produce, hand-made and unique products, great coffee & food, souvenirs and clothing. It was packed with fresh, colorful & meticulously displayed fresh food. We enjoyed talking with the friendly traders that gave us many samples. The multicultural stalls provide special events & festivals. I enjoyed looking at all of the Asian stands, exotic Seafood, lamb and meats, produce, extensive varieties of eggs, wines, beers, cheeses, teas, NY Deli, appetizing, pastries, candies .... Many vendors were giving complementary samples and everything was exceptionally delicious! We saw vendors selling American, Greek, Malaysian, Turkish, Canadian, Thai ... foods. We walked outside and to the back of the food hall finding shoes, clothing, inexpensive jewelry, woodwork ... And things that we would find at the typical American flea market. There were many clean restrooms and water fountains around the enormous food hall. There were tables set up to eat our purchases. Wednesday evenings the Queen Victoria Market opens for a Night Market, showcasing global street food, live music & entertainment, festival bars, specialty shopping and a great Melbourne night out. There is an Ultimate Foodie Tour, a two-hour, guided walking tour to indulge in some of the best food the Market has to offer.

    This place is a great market to walk around and grab some food either to eat at the moment or to cook for later. There are a lot of options of foods to eat, from sweet to savory, meat to seafood, etc. Everyone is very friendly, helping out. There's some places to eat outside of the market if you wanted to buy some food.

    Queen Victoria Market was a great place to get random souvenirs! Definitely a cool spot with a view of the skyline

    I have visited this open air and closed roofing market during past visits to Melbourne but didn't Yelp about my experiences until today. Lots of vendors from souvenirs to jewelry. Fresh produce and garmets are all on display for people to purchase. There are also plenty of food kiosks from food trucks to physical building spots with lots of ethnic food choices. It will take you about 1 hour to fully walk around the building and visit the food court across the street. Check the hours on the website since night markets are limited and the day hours change.

    1 of 2 Duplicate Reviews…read more I know, I know; I am 3+ months behind on my reviews... It's just that my travel schedule has been super busy and I am about to take off again. Thanks for your patience. Quality/Quantity - What a great find! I really like Melbourne, AU! My wife craved and got a Banh Mi Sandwich; see picture. Shrimp & Bug Combo $15 - Our first experience with a "bug;" it tastes just like shrimp. Pandan Croissant - #1 seller at this bakery (Agathe); see pictures. It was done well, worth the $9AUD and the long wait. Halloween Donut - Also good. Guess I was craving green pastries today. Raclette - Sausage fromage, so good. Made fresh in front of you. I almost did not want to share it with my wife. Atmosphere - Cool indoor and outdoor space. So many choices of places to eat and drink. Approximately 39 choices to eat or drink. On approximately 10 acres. Also plenty of businesses around the market. The place is crazy busy, in a good way. If you like people, this place is for you. Plus everyone was so friendly. Paid parking garage, see pictures. We used public transportation and rideshare. Service - Good. Price - Depends what you eat or drink. Caters to locals, so all reasonably priced. Owner Comment - Congrats on your success since 1867! 1972 - New Car Park. 1991 - Market and Food Hall. 2012 - Roof over car park.

    I love visiting the South Melbourne market on Saturday for lunch. My recent go to lunch choices…read morehave alternated between a chicken and cheese burrito or an Italian meatball roll from Pieno di Grazia. Plus a piece of cake, of course, to close out a perfect market day lunch.
