Queen Victoria Market


Queen Victoria Market is Victoria's premier open-air market. It is a thriving and lively place with an Old World charm and the addictive power to draw millions of visitors each year. This cosmopolitan market has been around for 130 years and is probably best known for its huge variety of fresh produce which includes fresh fruits and vegetables, meat, chicken, seafood and delicatessen products. On Sundays the market gives way to a more relaxed and leisurely family day. Queen Street is closed and converted into an outdoor cafe area, with children's rides and other activities.
