The Queen Victoria Market is a historic landmark and the largest open-air market in Melbourne.
It is not just a bazaar but has been a livestock market, a cemetery and a place selling wholesale fruit and vegetables.
The Queen Victoria Market offers a type of local experience in the buying and selling of goods, for visitors to Australia. It is also an open-air bazaar that offers a variety of exclusive Australian items and souvenirs.
The bazaar is also the perfect place to purchase local and imported goods at bargain prices.
Similar markets in New South Wales would be Paddy’s Market and the Flemington Market, located away from the city centre.
Besides the range of commodities offered at the Queen Victoria Market, street entertainment is a favourite market feature, mostly on Sundays when Queen St. is closed and transformed into a venue of carnival rides, cafes and other activities.
The market is closed on Monday and Wednesday. It is also closed on Anzac Day, Good Friday, Melbourne Cup Day, Boxing Day, New Year’s Day and Christmas.
