A visit to a local market is the best way to feel right at home in a new city. If the city in question just happens to be Melbourne, you should make sure to check out these lively markets.
Queen Victoria Market
One of the city’s top tourist attractions, Queen Victoria Market is located in Melbourne’s central business district and it’s equally popular with the locals. The historic building it’s housed in spans two city blocks, and you can find everything from food, produce, and local crafts during your visit.
South Melbourne Market
If you’re looking for a more low-key shopping experience, South Melbourne Market is the place to be. Located in a Victorian-style building from the late 19th century, this lively indoor market mostly sells produce, meat, seafood, and food by local vendors.
St. Kilda Esplanade Market
If you’re not sure what to do on Sunday, head to St Kilda Esplanade Market. You can find a wide range of arts, crafts, and other original creations at over a hundred stalls.
Prahan Market
Prahan Market is one of Melbourne’s must-see destinations with food lovers, and it offers the best choice of fresh fruit and vegetables, meat, fish, and deli foods in the entire city.
