About Queen Vic
Queen Victoria Market opened in the 19th century (1878 to be exact), and is an iconic landmark of Melbourne. This market has grown and evolved over the years into the busy urban marketplace it is today. There is something for everyone here with a wide selection of fresh fruits, vegetables, seafood, meat (delicious steak), bread, deli and gourmet foods, art, books, food and drink options and more.
A place to shop, a place to explore and take in the multicultural, vibrant city that Melbourne has become.
Interestingly, it is not only one of the most popular tourist destinations in Melbourne, but also the biggest open air market in all of the Southern Hemisphere!
