Paddy’s Markets

Greg Elms/Lonely Planet

Facade of Market City, home of Paddy's Market. Sydney, Australia.

Cavernous, thousand-stall Paddy’s is a covered market of mostly low-quality mass-produced tat, including stall after stall flogging cheap souvenirs – great if you've got an extensive list of friends wanting clinging koalas or novelty T-shirts. There's also a mediocre fruit and vegetable section and a selection of outlet shops in the upstairs shopping center, Market City.
