Queen Victoria Market

Browse Queen Victoria Market's heritage sheds, food halls and outdoor stalls.

What to expect

The market's sheds, laneways and produce halls still serve as an everyday marketplace, not just a sightseeing stop. Follow the trading schedule before travelling: specialty shopping begins at 09:00, while the market opens earlier on most trading days. Trams 19, 57, 58 and 59 serve stops around the precinct, which sits inside Melbourne's Free Tram Zone.

Free market entry; purchases cost extra
