Description: Often referred to as Queen Vic Markets, or just plain Queen Vic, the Queen Victoria Market is one of Melbourne’s biggest landmark, and at 17 acres in area, the largest open air market in the Southern Hemisphere. The Queen Vic is the only surviving 19th century market in the central business district of Melbourne, and remains an enduringly popular tourist destination, with stalls packed with huge quantities of fruit, vegetables, meat, poultry, seafood, gourmet foods and deli foods and delicacies, not to mention non-food offerings like shoes, clothes, jewelry and handmade arts and crafts. Be sure to find the hot donut van and sample a couple of the market’s signature jam donuts, thought don’t come on Wednesdays or Mondays, as the market’s closed in the daytime.
