Lonely Planet review

The Queen Victoria Market is a thriving community of over 600 traders, all bellowing special prices from behind colourful produce stalls. It's the largest open-air market in the southern hemisphere and attracts thousands of shoppers. You can buy everything the most fickle palate could desire here.

On Sunday the produce stalls are replaced with clothing and knick-knack stalls. This is definitely the place to find those souvenir sheepskin moccasins.

The market has been on the site for more than 130 years, prior to which it was a burial ground.

In summer the market is open on Wednesday evenings from to , when it features hawker-style food stalls, music and dance performances. It also runs a variety of tours and cooking classes. Phone for details or visit the website.
