One of the best ways to truly feel the vibe of a new city is paying a visit to lively local markets it has to offer. You’ll never run out of places to explore in Sydney, and these three spots will take your shopping experience to the next level.

Paddy’s Market Haymarket

Paddy’s is the first place that every market-dweller should check out in Australia’s biggest city. This iconic spot can be found next to Sydney’s Chinatown, and it’s the best place to buy clothes, souvenirs, food, and other goods from local vendors.

Paddington Market

A visit to Paddington Market will make you feel like you truly belong in Sydney because you’ll be surrounded by the locals. This is the place where the local craftspeople and designers sell their handmade clothing, accessories, décor, and more, and it’s open every Saturday.

The Rocks Market

In addition to offering the best harbor views, and some of Sydney’s best retro pubs and restaurants, The Rocks is also home to an iconic local market. It’s open on the weekends, and it’s the best place to discover local street foods and crafts in the city’s most beautiful historic neighborhood.
