Market shopping in Auckland

  1. A

    Victoria Park Market

    Victoria Park Market, a 20min walk west of Queen St, has a huge variety of goods including clothes, pottery, leather work, handicrafts and so on. Just the spot to spend the afternoon searching for that perfect kiwi t-shirt, tiki keyring or lambswool ruggie. Get a cheap massage after all that shopping and chill out in one of the cafes. Cheap massages are also available, and there's live entertainment on weekends.

    Otara Market

    Held in the car park between the Manukau Polytech and the Otara town centre, this market has a palpable Polynesian atmosphere and is a good place to stock up on South Pacific food, music and fashions. Take bus 497 from Britomart ($6.80, 50 minutes).

    Avondale Sunday Market

    Easier to get to than the Otara Markets, Avondale also has a distinctly Polynesian atmosphere and is particularly good for fresh produce. Take the train to Avondale station.
