Spend a few hours wandering the myriad stalls at Queen Victoria Market, the largest open-air market in the Southern Hemisphere. Originating as a small market east of the city in the 1850s, the market today covers seven hectares (17 acres) in the Melbourne Central Business District. Shop for a variety of food, clothing, shoes, jewelry, and crafts. Make sure you try a hot doughnut from the van that's been operating here for more than 50 years.

If you're used to the great European markets you will find this to be a waste of time. Cheap products and unoriginal. Don't bother.

Love it here! Such a great morning to be spent browsing all the different areas. It has everything you need from fresh produce to clothing and gifts. The veg and fruit are all fresh and the heart and seafood are consistently good quality. The deli section is my favourite with all sorts of beautiful European treats! There's a food hall with a really wide selection of different cuisines plus coffee carts and a brilliant donut van! Getting there is straight forward as it's well serviced by buses and trams. Recommend getting there early to avoid it getting too crowded but even when it's busy it's a great atmosphere.
