If shopping and trying new foods happen to be two of your favorite things to do while traveling, local markets are the place to be. They’ll make you feel like you truly belong in a brand-new city, and Melbourne has quite a few in store that you have to check out during your visit.
Queen Victoria Market
Queen Victoria Market is beloved by tourists and locals alike and it’s one of Melbourne’s must-see attractions. This historic market covers two city blocks in the central business district, and it’s one of the best places to shop for local food, crafts, and unique souvenirs.
South Melbourne Market
If Queen Victoria Market is too busy for you and you’re looking for a market with a chill vibe, head to South Melbourne. Housed in a beautiful Victorian building, this market offers indoor and outdoor areas, and you can shop for produce, meat, and seafood during your visit.
St. Kilda Esplanade Market
St. Kilda is one of Melbourne’s liveliest neighborhoods, and you won’t make a mistake if you decide to visit it on a Sunday. That’s when Kilda Esplanade Market takes place, and it’s the perfect opportunity to explore local arts and crafts, displayed at over a hundred stalls.
