At over 140 years old, Queen Victoria Market is a staple of local Melbourne culture.

Occupying two city blocks, the Vic Market (as the locals call it) houses hundreds of stores.

These include the meat & fish hall, delicatessen, fruit & vegetables, and specialty shopping. It’s a bustling environment, and worth just wandering around.

We recommend grabbing a bite from the deli (go for the gözleme) and a coffee from Market Lane Coffee.

The Vic Market also hosts market food tours, allowing you to sample the wares of several different stores.
